In this workshop, participants will review the WCAG 2.1 AA and Ohio State M-DAS regulations for using pre-recorded audio and video materials. First, we'll review the basics of MediaSite, Ohio State's platform for video editing and hosting for those who are less familiar with the tool. Then, we'll look at how to use MediaSite's available accessibility options, including the AI-supported caption generator. Participants will have a chance to practice using the caption editor and ask questions about other best practices for using multimedia materials as course materials.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- describe potential accessibility issues involved with multimedia classroom materials
- describe when and how to provide text-based alternatives to visual information in videos
- use MediaSite to create and edit accessible closed caption files for videos
- create transcripts for audio files
