[Athen] Captioned video on textbook publisher web sites

[Pielaet, Jon]

State by state differences aside, it's my understanding that publishers
can provide whatever content they want. (with or without captions) It
would be up to the institution using the content to ensure its
accessibility. In other words: Schools and Universities should make
captions their own pre-requisite for purchasing content.

 

Additionally, the Pearson link provided is in Canada so I have no idea
what rules apply in that country.

I am not aware of any such requirement.  There are a couple of states
that have caption purchasing requirements but don't remember where those
laws place the burden.

A colleague asked if publisher web sites with video are required to have
captioned video for students. I don't know. The site they are using is:

http://www.pearsoned.ca/highered/mymarketinglab/index.html

 

Does anyone have any information about the captioning of textbook
videos?

 

Cheers, Karen
