Videos and
teleconferencing are part of everyone’s daily life in a (nearly!)
post-pandemic world. But videos by themselves often leave a large gap
for those who do not rely on hearing to communicate, or who otherwise
have difficulty interpreting speech. This month we welcome back
Accessibility Ambassador Amanda Ryan, Academic Technologist at the
Institute on Community Integration, to share her knowledge on
captioning.
In this presentation, Amanda will be talking about the importance of
captions, why captions matter, proper formatting of captions, and the
difference between captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions. She
will be demonstrating how to add and edit captions to pre-recorded
events with a focus on YouTube and Kaltura MediaSpace. Amanda will also
touch briefly on best practices for captioning live events.
