<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I'm been charged to
investigate the feasibility of setting up captioning services at Georgia
Perimeter College. To be honest I'm not having much luck. I have contacted a
number of schools and other sources and have received no answers as to how
other schools are doing this. Basically the responses I have heard is that
there is technology out there to caption materials. That's great, there are
also components that I can use to build a rocket. However if you put all of
those components in front of me, I wouldn't know what to do with them. So my
questions are to anyone who works at a post-secondary institution that runs a
media caption program for Deaf/HoH.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>My questions regarding
setting up a captioning program are: </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:Symbol'>· </span><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>Who is the entity that produces the captioning? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

IT, funded using earmarked funds and student technology fees<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:Symbol'>· </span><span style='font-family:

How much resources are needed and what are the operational costs? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>It
depends on what you want to produce, we ended up subtitling almost everything
and uses a variety of software and hardware in the process. The actual
subtitling was done with Subtitle Workshop be we were also exploring Lemony
when I left.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:Symbol'>· </span><span style='font-family:

Full Time program coordinator, 2.5 FTE student workers, Transcribers as temp
labor which were cost shared with the campus Typewell program<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:Symbol'>· </span><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>What are the pre-requisite skill sets, and qualifications
that are needed? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The
transcripts were created by the Typewell trained RTT. Most labor was student
labor that was trained in house.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:Symbol'>· </span><span style='font-family:

request for captioned material, to production, to delivery of the final
product?</span> <o:p></o:p></p>

are outlined in the documentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>My last question. Does anyone
have any information on other post-secondary institutions that have an in-house
program? Any information would be greatly appreciated.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
