[Athen] RE: athen-list Digest, Vol 74, Issue 38

[Bill Grubaugh]

Hi this is not a real direct answer to the question but, you've made me wonder if developers of Online learning systems with  lecture capture capabilities might be amiable to offering/including a 'features' suggestion.

Propose that captioning tools be bundled into the toolbox of features that a program offers,. This sort of thing is available in some enterprise programs ones that allow Administrators (Independent colleges or districts or Systems at large) to turn on or off the Apps available. 
Would it be far fetched to have the accessibility piece of the system built into the "save and post" feature of the product it self? That is class is not over until the material is saved and posted in a form that is accessible to all students- present and future?
I'll make an effort to talk to some of the developers I've met. 
Worth a shot - maybe offering feature options along these lines would interest them. Thereafter, - the rest would be up to our educational system administrators, Deans and all within that create original content?

Pardon my cross-listing this question, but I'm desperate for answers.

Hi -
We have a growing number of self-produced videos by faculty in our online
courses, and we are trying to determine a criteria for what Distance
Learning will pay to have captioned and what should be the faculty or
departments responsibility. How do other college and universities decide
what they pay to have captioned?

Currently we require faculty to caption their self-produced media, but this
isn't easy to do when it's a Mediasite lecture capture. Plus many of our
part-time faculty object to the added workload that this requires, (even
with tools like Camtasia 7 that works with Windows 7 voice recognition to
make captioning easier).

Please share with me your approach to captioning requirements and how you
fund it or don't.

Thanks so much!
