2.3 Working with Accessible Media (video and audio)

Creating accessible video and audio is key to whether a student can watch a video and learn the content you are providing as a learning tool. Captioning a video is not just for persons who are hard of hearing or deaf. Thinking in terms of universal design, captions can benefit all types of learners; people learning to read, non-native language speakers and deaf or hard of hearing individuals. Captioning can also improve comprehension of the material.

In this book, we will go over what is required to make video and audio content accessible. Releasing closed captioning and transcripts at the same time as the video or audio recording is required when you have a formal request. In general, you should work ahead to get captioning and transcripts made so all of your students can easily watch, listen, or read the information.
