Digital Accessibility - Part 3

Join herePresented by Cody Bailey-Crow, M.Ed., M.A.Description:While captions and transcripts are often associated with ADA Title II requirements and accessibility remediation, they are actually vital tools for equitable learning that benefit all students. Transcripts provide an alternative way for users to consume information, allowing visual learners to process auditory data better and enabling students to read faster than they can listen (which is particularly helpful when they are short on time). Furthermore, these tools support situational accessibility, such as when a student is in a noisy environment or needs to maintain silence. They also enhance study efficiency by making content searchable, allowing students to quickly locate specific medical terms, and by enabling text selection for easy definition lookups or translation. This workshop will empower faculty and staff to move beyond simply "checking a box" and shift instead towards a more proactive approach to designing truly inclusive and flexible learning content.Objectives:At the conclusion of this activity, learners should be better able to:Navigate to and use the editing interfaces of Panopto and/or Yuja to perform essential captioning tasks.Recall universal accessibility standards for creating and editing captions and transcripts.Identify and remediate errors in automatically generated captions during a live demonstration.Consider a shift to a proactive instructional design strategy that prioritizes "caption-friendly" content creation (as opposed to retrofitted, reactive approaches to ADA content remediation).
