Alternative Formats

With YuJa, you can retrieve alternative file formats to meet your individual needs. Whether you'd like a text-to-speech narration for easier access to digital content, or if you prefer to read the document in a more convenient web format, Panorama's Alternative Formats is a great resource available directly within your Moodle course.

Once you find a course document, there will be an Alternative Formats icon to the right of the document title.

By clicking on the accessibility icon next to a document in Moodle, you can access various alternative formats for that document.

Note: Some courses may not have all of the options available.
