Dream vs. Reality
‣ Dream:
– Instructor(s) submits list of video requests with due dates and sources
– Instructors contacted our department in advance to get videos captioned.
6
Reality
‣ Reality:
– Instructors have syllabus ready by the first day of class.
– 50% Instructors do not know what videos that will be shown in the class.
7
PCC and Instructors
‣ Common Misconceptions:– Too much additional steps for instructors to get videos
captioned
– Disability Services cannot handle last minute requests
– It is difficult to show caption videos on multimedia console in the classroom
8
PCC Outreach to Instructors
‣ We realize the importance of working collaboratively with instructors and notifying instructors in advance
‣ In same cases, we called instructor to explain the process of captioning videos, which is:– the only thing they have to do actually send us list of
videos that will be shown in classroom)
– Instructor will get a link to show video within 1 business days after we get the video and subtitle will show within 3 business days or less.
9
PCC Outreach to Instructors, Cont.
‣ Assure instructor that last minute videos can be done (typically shorts videos less than 10 minutes)– Disability Services handles short and last minute
videos in house with turn around of 3 - 5 minutes for each 1 minute of the video
– We always encourage instructors, unless the even just happened, we would like the instructor to notify us within 1 business days
10
PCC Outreach to Instructors, Cont.
‣ Result:– Instructor realizes the process is not burdensome and
actually like how we store instructor video in one place
– Instructor wants us to caption all the videos they have (even though there is no video captioning request)
• Timeline is not guarantee, accommodation is always a priority
• In order for us to caption the video, the videos must be durable (will be used for multiple terms)
11
Choosing Third Party
‣ Challenges PCC were facing:
– Limited staff resources
– Turn-around time for long last minute videos
– Streamlining processes from getting videos to sending instructor link
12
Choosing Third Party (cont.)
‣ Benefits
– Able to put more resources to contact instructors
– Option to do in-house captioning is available for short videos or last minutes videos
– We were able to request specialize player to include interactive transcripts.
13
PCC Work Flow
‣ Student submits captioning video/interpreting/transcribing video requests.
‣ Instructor(s) are contacted before the term starts (and during).
‣ Accessibility Aides will find whether videos were already captioned or if transcripts can be found online.
14
PCC Work Flow (cont.)
‣ If it is captioned, our aide provide an instruction on how to turn on CC function in multimedia console or use VLC Player.
‣ If it is available for purchase, we will purchase the video instead.
‣ If it is an audio only media, we will provide transcript to student directly.

16
PCC Work Flow (cont.)
‣ Upload video to Kaltura.
‣ Send instructor a link to video ahead while closed captioning being processed.
‣ Remind instructor that the video link will only available on limited time basis because of copyright.
