Oh Caption, My Caption

Videos can make learning come alive. Especially if they are teacher created. One misconception is that Closed Captioning (CC) is just for deaf and hard of hearing. What about students who are not auditory learners or students whose native language is not English? Closed Captioning can help all learners, but not all CC videos are created equal. Participants will learn how to search for CC videos on both YouTube and Google and evaluate it for accuracy. Also, CC a video is very time consuming and can be challenging when working with over 20,000 enrollments and over 100 courses through our statewide online implementation. We will share some tips & tricks we’ve learned along the way and participants will walk away with tools such as Clips (iOS only), voice typing in Google Docs, Microsoft Translator (computer and Android), and others to help make CC easier to implement and manage.
