Captioning and Equitable Alternatives

For ADA purposes, there are two kinds of media:

1. media produced by members of the UGA community, and 
2. media produced outside of UGA

The UGA Disability Resource Center (DRC) can caption media produced outside of UGA, but for anything produced by members of the UGA community, the responsibility for captioning or providing an equitable alternative lies with the creator and their department.

Here are a number of resources to assist you in making sure the media in your course(s) meet the captioning requirement:

• Captioning media produced off-campus:https://drc.uga.edu/content_page/3-steps-to-captioning-your-classroom-media
  
• Kaltura Captioning: https://help.elc.uga.edu/faculty/kaltura-audio-and-video/captioning/
• YouTube Captioning Support: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en
• EOO Electronic & Information Technology Accessibility: https://eoo.uga.edu/policies/electronic-information-technology-accessibility

If captioning is not the chosen form of providing accessible media there are other Equitable Alternatives that can be considered. An equitable alternative means any course material used can be accessed by as many learners as possible regardless of ability. Some options are listed below.

• Adding narration for PowerPoint Slides: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-or-delete-audio-in-your-powerpoint-presentation-c3b2a9fd-2547-41d9-9182-3dfaa58f1316
• Providing a written transcript
• Providing text tag modifications for images

Questions about captioning media can be directed to DRC: ccap@uga.edu.

Course Delivery Considerations

...

• Provide students call-in information for audio-only participation in Zoom class sessions
• Record Zoom class sessions and upload recordings to Kaltura for later viewing in eLC
• Consider incorporating pre-recorded lessons for later viewing in eLC as an alternative to synchronous Zoom class sessions
• Use the captioning features in Kaltura to generate editable closed captions and downloadable transcripts
• Provide text-based content for download prior to live classes or in parallel to pre-recorded lessons (e.g., PDFs or PowerPoints of lessons/lectures, caption file transcripts, etc.) 
• When creating online tests for your students consider them all to be open books tests.
