Turn On Panorama in Canvas LMS to use Accessibility Tools

Environment

Canvas

Issue

How do I enable Panorama in Canvas LMS to enhance digital content accessibility?

I can't find Panorama in the left navigation menu.

I can't find Accessibility Icons throughout Canvas.

Resolution

Currently, Panorama will display in all Canvas courses by default. Panorama will appear in the left-side course navigation and display icons throughout the course.

If you do not already find Panorama within your Canvas courses, follow these steps to add Panorama to your left navigation menu in a course:

  1. Enter the course in which you want to enable Panorama 
  2. In the left navigation menu, choose Settings (the last item)
  3. Under Settings, select the Navigation tab
  4. Scroll down though the items to find Panorama
  5. Select Enable or drag and drop Panorama to the top list of visible items
  6. Select Move or drag and drop Panorama to where you want it in the order
  7. At the bottom of the page, select Save
