Many students utilize captions for various reasons; captions are recommended for all instructional videos. 标题 serve as a means of equal access to auditory content for students who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing. 也, captions provide students who are English language learners or those learners that require multiple modalities to retain information an enhanced ability to learn better and retain information.

标题优先排序指南

较高的优先级:

• An accommodation is requested from a student, staff member, or other person who requires captioning.
• Multimedia will be shared multiple times and over an extended period.
• Multimedia is reused in new courses and newly revised segments of existing courses.
• Multimedia is used in a course for more than one semester.
• If captioning is required for one semester, the quality must be clear enough to allow equivalent access (the ability to infer the meaning of whole sentences). Note: At this time, automatic speech recognition (e.g., YouTube automatic captioning) is unacceptable due to the tendency for errors unless the content owner manually fixes auto-captions.
• Multimedia is on a public-facing web page (e.g., commencements or other public-facing 流媒体或录制 events, news, and marketing videos).

其他优先考虑事项:

• Any multimedia that is purchased should be delivered in a captioned state. If not, the campus must ensure that captioning will be done upon receipt.
• Archived materials are to be captioned upon request. Caption frequently requested materials.
• Captioning should be outsourced if the campus cannot provide the resources or support specific technical concerns. This requires funding, so each campus budget must accommodate it.
• 毕业典礼s or other public-facing events, 流媒体或录制, news and marketing videos may require outside services.
• Captioning is a low priority if lecture capture is used to post a lecture that reviews a face-to-face class and will only be available for one semester, 也没有住宿要求.

选择字幕媒体 

在为你的课程选择视频时, the easiest method is to select a video that is already manually captioned.

音频记录

Utilize transcripts for audio-only content such as podcasts or interviews. Transcripts provide a written account of auditory content and are also used by those searching audio content by keywords or concepts. We recommended transcripts for audio-only instructional content; faculty and staff can request audio transcripts by completing the Video Caption Request form below and uploading an audio file.

音频描述

Utilize audio descriptions to create an accessible alternative to visual information displayed without audio narration. Some video styles present informational graphics within the video that are not spoken aloud via a narration track. In this situation, closed captions are unsuitable because no spoken narration is available. 的 only audio available in these videos tends to be music and leaves a non-sighted individual without the appropriate contextual information. An audio description track can solve this problem by providing a descriptive narrative of the video's visual information; 电子邮件可访问性 for assistance with audio transcription.
