Are you creating video lectures or review sessions for your classes? Are they captioned and accessible? At this online workshop, we will show you how to modify the automatically generated captions provided by YouTube so that they are perfectly accurate. Closed captioning is an accessibility feature that benefits all students. Students who watch videos in sound-sensitive environments, like buses and libraries, often turn on captions. Captions are helpful when the recording contains specialized terminology or when the speech is fast paced or heavily accented. Students whose native language is not English appreciate being able to read text and listen to the words at the same time. Captions are essential for students who cannot hear or are hard of hearing.
