[Athen] Accessible Webinar Platforms

[Ken Petri]

>From my understanding, the recorded sessions are handled differently.

You're not viewing those in the regular Connect player but in a Flash or
MP4 movie that is produced by the system afterward. Since that is the case,
you have a lot of options for what to do. You could, for example, take the
outputs and use, say, JW Player as the viewer.

Or maybe the Connect-produced videos are delivered in a way that is
accessible. I've never tried them, so I don't know.

One issue will be with the captioning pod. If used, the pod is just
recorded in a screen capture sort of way, along with the presentation. So
you don't have a closed caption. You have an always on, open caption. Not
ideal but serviceable.
