Making Videos Accessible for All Learners

Описание: Assistive technology specialist Christopher Bugaj shares tips for online teaching and learning. Using a playful style, he demonstrates how teachers can quickly make videos that are accessible for all learners by adding captions or subtitles to the video. Specifically, Bugaj, an inclusive design facilitator and ISTE author, provides several suggestions for video captioning and subtitling tools.

Closed captions are a vital aspect of inclusive learning design because:
They help people with hearing impairments better understand your content, which means that more people receive your message.
They improve language and literacy skills, especially for English language learners because hearing a word while simultaneously seeing it helps the brain make connections about what that word sounds like.

Some quick tips for making videos more accessible for all learners include:
Use captions while showing TV programming.
Choose a recording app that has an auto-captioning feature, such as Apple Clips, Google Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint or YouTube's own auto-captioning.
Make sure to edit any auto-captions for accuracy.

Teachers and parents, make your videos accessible for all learners by using captions.
