Creating Accessible Digital Content
Wednesday, April 6, 2:00-3:00
Online
Presenter: Karen Skudlarek, CETL-EdTech
We will discuss best practice when captioning and will explore two applications (Kaltura and YouTube) that can be used to create closed captions for your videos. Both use computer-generated captioning which often requires that captions be edited by the video owner to improve accuracy. Research has shown that closed captions can benefit all learners as they watch the video content.
