YuJa harnesses the power of media to educate, engage, inspire, and collaborate. Use YuJa to create, host, manage, and edit video and audio files for your online courses. YuJa can also be used to store, manage, and share a large spectrum of other digital assets like images, documents, and more. Faculty may especially like that they can use YuJa for software-based lecture capture and live streaming. Students can use YuJa to manage their own videos but will also have easier access to course related content and improved accessibility (all videos uploaded by faculty will include captions).
Accessing YuJa
Once logged into D2L, select one of your courses. On the course navigation bar, select "Tools" and then "YuJa" from the dropdown menu. From here you can access your personal YuJa My Media and the course channel. If you are looking to access your course channel, you need to access YuJa through D2L first.

Captioning Services
YuJa offers a variety of captioning options for videos on it's platform. Users can request auto captioning, translation for closed captions, and human captioning for more accurate or technical videos. Please view the captioning guide below for details on how to request captioning or follow the directions below for the most common captioning requests.
Auto Captioning
All video files in YuJa are automatically machine captioned. While improvements are constantly being made to improve the accuracy of the technology, they will most likely not be 100% accurate. The YuJa Video Editor makes it very easy and convenient for video owners, or those given full or edit shared access to videos, to edit the captions. Please see this Editing YuJa Captions Quick Guide for more information about editing video captions to improve accuracy.
Human Captioning
Human captioning is a specialty service Distance Education purchases to help ensure there are options for videos that need more accurate captions. Instructional videos that contain specialized vocabulary or jargon often necessitate a higher standard of captioning services to increase accuracy and accessibility.
Human captioning is processed by request unlike machine captioning which occurs automatically for each new video. Instructors can submit requests on a per video basis directly in YuJa.
- Log into D2L and find the course
- On the course nav bar, select Tools then YuJa.
- Select "Manage Media" and locate the video.
- Hover over the video tile and select "More."
- In the pop-up window, select "Accessibility" and then "Human Caption." Note: You cannot select "Human Caption" until after the automatic machine captions have completed processing. This may mean if you have just uploaded a new video, you will not be able to request human captioning right away.
- You may receive a notice to "Override Existing Caption File." This is due to the automatic machine captions. Select "Yes."
- Select "Send Request." The screen will update with a note, "Status: Your closed caption request has been sent to YuJa."
- Human captions are processed in English and take 1 business day. You will receive an email once the request has been processed or if there is an error.
