If you have received an accommodation letter from the Disability Resources Department or otherwise learned of a deaf/hard of hearing student in your course, time is of the essence.
Please contact the Instructional Accessibility Specialist:
Captioning of your videos may qualify for the state-provided DECT grant. If so, the DE Accessibility Team will oversee submission to the grant. (Due to recent changes, only auto-generated captions are available from 3C Media).
For all other courses,
Determine if you need to caption your videos:
Which Videos to Caption?
Non-captioned videos
Videos with auto-generated captions
Instructor-created videos
Videos found on sites such as YouTube or Vimeo
Prioritize videos to be used for more than one semester, although captioning all videos has merit
Videos that students are required to watch
Videos needed to complete extra credit assignments
For full-length commercial videos, work with a library liaison to see if the video exists in the Media Services library, or determine the purchase cost.
Auto-generated Captions vs High-Quality Captions
Are the videos sufficiently captioned?
Auto-generated captions are usually problematic for student-comprehension and need better, manually-created captions.
