Digital Accessibility

Automatic captioning is a great start but is not always accurate.  Editing is required to meet the standard.  If you are recording long lectures, this can be prohibitive.  Below are some suggestions from fellow faculty:

• Rather than record the entire lecture, upload your notes for the lecture.  PowerPoint with slide notes is particularly useful.
• Make short reusable videos on key points from the lecture.  Suggestion to keep them to 2 min mark to make them the most effective.
• Create one "master" version of each lecture that you reuse each semester rather than re-recording.  These would address the major points of the lecture and the course learning objectives but would not be an exact replacement.
• Provide alternative resources explain the material such as links to other lectures, alternative textbook selections, practice websites

"Mathematical equations and scientific formulas are a crucial part of education for many students. However, the symbols in these equations can present a challenge for screen reader software and other assistive technology. The best way to make equations and formulas accessible is to write alt text for them. Penn State University and Instructure have brief guides on how to do this.
It’s important to note that at present, the equation editors present in Microsoft Word ...do not produce accessible outputs. The equation editor in Word is not compatible with a majority of screen readers....  With the resources currently available, alt text is the best option for accessible math."
