LSE Moodle

Dear All, 

Updating about two known issues that we are currently experiencing with the Yuja Panorama digital accessibility Moodle plugin. More information about Panorama is in the Digital Education Wiki Spaces. 

1. Restore Document Error

Yuja Panorama retains files and associated Alternative Formats for a maximum of 12 months. After this the files are automatically removed from Panorama. The ‘Restore Document’ button within the Panorama ‘Alternative Formats’ menu is not currently functioning and users will see an error message instead. The issue has been reported and we will be working to fix this as soon as possible. In the interim, Moodle editors can trigger reprocessing in Panorama by removing the source file from Moodle and re-uploading.

2. Teacher Editor Role Not Recognised

Yuja Panorama is not currently recognising the ‘Teacher Editor’ role within Moodle. As a result, the Alternative Formats menu is not displaying Accessibility Reports or overall Accessibility Scores for files uploaded to Moodle. This issue has been reported and we will be working to fix this as soon as possible. In the interim, we recommend content creators make use of the inbuilt Accessibility Checkers for Microsoft Products before uploading to Moodle and refer to the Accessibility section of the Digital Education Wiki spaces for practical guides to creating accessible resources. 

Contact eden.digital@lse.ac.uk with any questions about digital accessibility.

best wishes, 
Laurence

The automatic cohorts, which allow students to access certain Moodle pages on the basis of their enrollment in a programme, have been reset. 

These will be repopulated next week based on the correct enrollment data for the new academic year. Student enrolments will begin to appear in 2045/25 courses from September 19.
