[Athen] VoiceThread Captions

[Hunziker, Dawn A - (hunziker)]

Hi all,

If you are captioning VoiceThread recordings and would like to add your voice to requesting a fix for the issue described below, please reply!

The process to request 3rd party captions for VoiceThread videos is tedious. If an instructor places a PowerPoint slidedeck  in VoiceThread and presents using VoiceThread, you have to view each slide to request captions. And, if there's a project with student responses, whew!

We reached out to VoiceThread and received a general answer as "we'll fix this down the road." I'd like to push this topic up higher on their roadmap since we need to hire additional staff just to handle captioning of this content because of the time involved in simply going through the content.

Also, if you'd like to discuss our process so you can learn more, we'd be happy to chat.

Thanks,

Dawn
