Instructional videos can be a powerful way to convey content to students. Additionally, live events that occur on campus can be incredible for engaging the campus community. We have a commitment to our students and the campus community to ensure that these videos and events are universally designed, so that all audiences can consume them. This includes live and closed captioning, and occasionally audio description. Did you know that the University has enterprise tools that can make these processes easier? This workshop will outline the Zoom and Kaltura features that can support these processes. It will also provide an overview of securing a third-party captioner when an accommodation request is made.
