This session will cover the basics of video captioning, including accessibility laws, emerging web standards, best practices, and workflows for lecture capture and video platforms.
This session will cover the basics of captioning for accessible online video, including captioning basics, applicable accessibility laws, as well as best practices for creating captions, the use of different captions formats, video player compatibility, impact of HTML5 and mobile devices, and workflow options for lecture capture and video platforms. We will look at the numerous benefits of captioning that enhance the learning experience for all viewers.
This session will also demonstrate how to leverage captions to create a searchable video library that allows users to search across an entire archive of videos and jump to any point they want in a video. This is an invaluable tool for e-learning, as it allows students to quickly search for pieces of lectures that they want to review for exams or papers without having to blindly search through videos using nothing but a play bar.
Finally, we’ll look at studies conducted with several institutions that prove the impact of video search tools and closed captioning on comprehension, engagement, and consumption of video content.
