DIY Closed Captioning & Creating Accessible Digital Content
Friday, 5/8, 10:00-11:00
Online
Presenter: Karen Skudlarek, CETL
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.

In addition, we’ll explore tools that you can use to make your documents accessible such as tagging images, using styles in Microsoft Word, etc.
