What is captioning
Captioning is required per Section 508 and 504 of ADA for any publicly available videos. Additionally, there may be cases where you will be required to provide captions for course videos relating to an accommodation request through the Office of Disability Services.
YouTube, Vimeo, and other third-party streaming platforms may offer automatic, computer-generated captioning. However, the accuracy rate does not meet the requirements of the law (95% accuracy).
Fee associated with captioning, so budget for it.
