Two EASI Webinars for December
EASI Webinar: Even Easier Captions with YouTube
Mon. Dec. 2 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2 PM Eastern 
(standard!)
Presenter: Ken Petri
With continually improving speech recognition and new tools to assist 
the captioning process, YouTube has become (if it wasn't already) the 
DIY captioner's best friend. This one-hour, free webinar will review 
and demonstrate recent improvements to YouTube's built-in captioning 
tools. The webinar also will go over how to use YouTube as a core 
component for captioning material delivered outside of YouTube. In 
addition, accessibility of the YouTube player itself will be 
discussed, along with mention of tools content producers can leverage 
to enhance video accessibility for everyone.

EASI Webinar: Accessible Digital Images
Dec. 19 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2 PM Eastern
Presenter: Julie Noblitt, Community Manager at the DIAGRAM Center
Digital images, especially STEM images (including mathematical 
equations), can present a significant challenge to students with 
print disabilities. How can content providers and platforms ensure 
that digital images are truly usable by everyone? In this session, we 
will discuss the emerging ecosystem of tools, standards, and research 
designed to ensure that images are accessible to all online. Julie 
Noblitt is Community Manager at the DIAGRAM Center, an OSEP-funded 
R&D center devoted to making it easier, faster, and cheaper to create 
and use accessible images for students with print disabilities.
