Make your course materials accessible with Panorama

September 5, 2024 — 
If you’ve been wondering how to be more inclusive when creating files and ensure your materials meet accessibility standards, Panorama is your new best friend. Panorama is an accessibility tool that has been available on UM Learn since 2022. Now it’s also being relaunched as a password-protected portal, which means you can also review documents for accessibility outside UM Learn. You just log in to Panorama using your UM password—which means that UM staff and students can now also use it for any materials they produce.
