[Athen] Criteria for Captioning

[John Elmer]

We are using Tegrity for lecture capture.  We are fortunate that the Cal. COmm College system has a statewide program to provide captioning for online classes, so, unless that $ runs out [and you've no doubt heard about California's fiscal crisis], it all gets captioned.  I have been able to pass that off quite successfully to out Distance Ed staff and they do a great job.

Subject: [Athen] Criteria for Captioning

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!
