East Stroudsburg University's video content must be accessible to all Warriors, regardless of ability.
Videos are created and used at ESU for educational content, university events, training, promotion and other purposes. Because all campus departments and offices may need to create or provide accessible video content, the ICT Accessibility Task Force recommends the following training, resources, tools, and support to ESU content creators.
A great start to making videos accessible is to ensure they are accurately captioned.
This workflow was created as a temporary measure to provide support to students, and faculty, and community members until a more automated system is implemented.
Request captioning by choosing the appropriate form:
What will happen next?
- The requester receives an email that the request was received, and is invited to discuss the project
- The requester is contacted directly by Luis Vidal to assess the project:
- Accommodation based?
- Where is it used?
- Where is it housed?
- What captioning software is applicable?
- The creator is notified via email of next steps. Where applicable, other parties involved in the process are notified, such as OASIS, Instructional Support, third party vendors, etc.
- Creators are supported through the process.
- Where to find the video after it is captioned
- How to edit captions
- How to save to cloud based storage, etc.
Training
While ESU continues to develop a more automated captioning process, captioning requests and support with editing captioned videos is currently completed on an individual basis.
Written Resources
Written resources will be provided upon completion permanent captioning process.
