On 2/17/21, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Karen Wassarman e-mailed CALS instructors about captioning recorded course material.
Closed captioning makes video and audio content more accessible to online learners. It is strongly recommended for all courses with recorded video or audio materials to have captions or transcripts for this material. Many students use captions for clarification, comprehension and retention of the material and it also helps them search for the key terms or concepts for review.
To assist you with captioning of recorded material, CALS has developed an in-house captioning service to help you provide captioning for your students. They can caption Kaltura and YouTube videos within 5 business day of request. See here for how to submit your requests: How to Request Captions from CALS
