Accessible audio/video accommodations provide equal/equivalent access to media content. It includes the following:
- Closed-captioning/subtitles for videos: time-synchronized text that reflects the audio track and can be read while watching the video.
- Transcripts, which provide verbatim text for audio materials, such as podcasts or taped interviews.
- Audio description for videos, which provides information about actions, characters, scene changes, on-screen text, and other visual content which is added during existing pauses in dialogue.
- In order to ensure that media is accessible for your classes, ODS will contact your faculty to start retrieving media for captioning, transcribing, and/or describing.
- The process of creating accessible media is very time-consuming. Therefore, to ensure video, audio and/or descriptions will be accessible on the first day of the term, please submit your accommodation requests through your ODS online services within 48 hours of registering for classes.
