Setting Up Approved Courses
Once the integration between Panorama and Canvas is complete, users with an Administrator role in Canvas can approve courses for Panorama to scan. This can be done on a per-course basis, or for All Courses in Canvas.
- Navigate to the Panorama LTI link of a course in Canvas.
- From the Panorama console, select the Gear icon from the left-side menu.
- Scroll down to the section titled Course Settings.
- To approve Panorama for all Canvas courses, select the radio button titled All Courses.
- To approve Panorama for individual Canvas courses, select the radio button titled Selected Courses Only. Then paste in the URL of the Canvas course that should be enabled.
- Once the course approval settings are configured, select Save Changes in the top-right of the page.
Customizing Score Weighting
Each organization has its own interpretation of how document accessibility should be handled. For this reason, Canvas Administrators can customize the curve of how minor or severe each document issue should be handled. The following settings will determine the overall scoring of Accessibility Reports on faculty documents as Panorama completes the scans.
- Navigate to the Panorama LTI link of a course in Canvas.
- From the Panorama console, select the Settings (gear) icon in the top-right of the page.
- Scroll down to the section titled Issue Severity Settings.
- If you wish to change the Default Settings, select the radio button titled Custom Issue Severity.
- Under the menu for Custom Issue Severity, Administrators can change the weight for all issues for Panorama's supported documents from Minor, Major, and Severe.
- Once you are done changing the severity of issues, select Save Changes in the top right of the corner.
Accessing Institution Reporting
Advanced Panorama reporting is available to Administrators through the Panorama console. Administrators can use the reports to identify trends in Panorama issues and usage.
- Administrators can access the User Engagement, and Course Reporting reports in available courses. Metrics such as average Accessibility Scores, Alternative Formats Downloads, and Accessibility Issues help them identify trends in the usage of the Panorama Platform.
- Administrators can also access Institution Reporting to identify system-wide trends that can be addressed through increased usage of Panorama or user training.
