Please watch the "Understanding Universal Design through Closed Captioning" video to learn more about the program. You may use a system called Amara to caption short online videos on your own. Faculty may also choose to provide your own captions.Please allow ample time for this (at least two weeks before the video is posted/made available to the rest of the class). IT staff will work with the Access Center to get the video captioned. Faculty may submit a Closed Captioning Request Form to IT‘s Academic Services.In other words, materials are not to be made available to students until they are made accessible for all students.
If you have a student in class who requires closed captioning as an accommodation through the Access Center, you must not post to Blackboard, Canvas or make available any videos until they have been closed captioned. When in doubt, try turning the subtitles on and the sound off and see if you can follow the video.Ī video does not have closed captioning. The most important difference is that subtitles provide only the spoken words, whereas closed captioning also provides the background music and sounds that are usually required to understand the action. What is the difference between subtitles and closed captioning? The best way to know if a video has accurate captioning is to turn off the sound, turn on the captioning and see if you can follow the video. Some online video sites provide only auto-generated captioning, which can be highly inaccurate, lack punctuation or capitalization, and would only confuse students. You may do so in the WSU Vancouver Library by checking out a remote and using one of the library TVs.Īlways check to make sure the closed captioning provided is accurate for online videos, such as those on YouTube. You may need to actually watch the video to see if closed captioning is available. However, videos owned by the WSU Libraries may not have CC symbols on the label.
Commercially produced videos will have a small CC symbol on the box. The most reliable way is to play the video. How do I make sure a video has closed captioning? Additionally, even for students without a disability, reading and hearing material at the same time may help with cognitive reinforcement. It helps to make curriculum more inclusive for all students, such as those who are deaf or hard of hearing, who have learning disabilities, who have sensory and processing disorders and for whom English is not their first language. Therefore, in line with universal design principles, it’s a good idea to ensure that closed captioning is available even if no students in the course require this accommodation. Keep in mind not all students with disabilities choose to receive services through the Access Center. It is up to the faculty member to find out if assigned videos are closed captioned. Therefore, if a student enrolled in a course receives closed captioning as an accommodation through the Access Center, it is required that all assigned videos and media have closed captioning. A person with a disability should be able to get information as fully, equally and independently as a person without a disability. The university provides equitable access to course materials to comply with state and federal law.
