By prioritizing video accessibility, colleges and universities can ensure that more students\u00a0have\u00a0equal\u00a0access to educational content and media.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, providing accessible video content is not just a best practice\u2014it is a legal obligation. Under various legislation, colleges and universities are required to ensure effective communication with individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featured-snippet\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f2; padding: 30px; border-radius: 12px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #ffffff; padding: 20px; max-width: 95%; margin-bottom: 20px; border-left: 6px solid #ECF793; border-radius: 8px; align-items: center;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; margin: 0; font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold;\">Captioning &amp; Transcription for Higher Education: Definitions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0;\">Captioning and transcription for higher education refer to the processes of converting spoken content in videos and audio recordings into text, either as synchronized captions or full-text transcripts, to support accessible and flexible learning formats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While captions are primarily intended to make videos accessible to people with disabilities, they can also benefit all students. One study revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamingmedia.com\/Articles\/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=131860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">80% of people who use captions are not deaf or hard of hearing<\/a> \u2013 they find that captions improve their engagement, focus, and comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/usfsp-captions-transcripts-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study by the University of South Florida St. Petersburg (USFSP)<\/a> explored the impact of captions and transcripts on student learning. The results shed light on the value of captions in the classroom and showed that accessible video could have a positive impact on students\u2019 performance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s Important for Captioning in Higher Education?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Caption Accuracy<\/h3>\n<p>Inaccurate captions are frustrating for anyone, but for students, it\u2019s particularly detrimental to their learning and performance. Many students rely on captions to assist them in their studies, especially those who are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>D\/deaf or hard of hearing<\/li>\n<li>English language learners or non-native English speakers<\/li>\n<li>Individuals with learning disabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Accurate captions are a necessity for higher education institutions because students must have access to accurate learning materials, including educational videos.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note that in 2019, the court acknowledged that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/2020\/01\/03\/harvard-settlement-3play-media-caption-quality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caption accuracy is critical to accessibility as seen in its decision for the NAD v. Harvard<\/a> and NAD v. MIT accessibility suits.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Timeliness<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"97\" data-end=\"380\">Captions must be made available simultaneously with the video content to ensure that all students have equal access to instructional materials. This is especially critical in educational environments where videos are used as part of core instruction, assignments, or assessments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"740\">When captions are delayed, students who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who rely on captions for comprehension, may fall behind or miss essential information. This creates a situation of unequal access, which can not only disadvantage the student academically but may also place the institution at risk of noncompliance with federal accessibility laws.<\/p>\n<h3>Billing Flexibility<\/h3>\n<p>Universities often have many different departments and may even have additional campuses aside from the main campus. Higher education institutions require flexible billing options to bill each department or campus separately and to provide specific administrators access to billing information. A smooth billing process helps to make the entire captioning process painless, efficient, and sustainable.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal Compliance and Accessibility Standards<\/h2>\n<p>Higher education institutions are legally obligated to ensure that all students, including those with disabilities, have equal access to academic content and services. This includes captioning and transcription for video and audio materials, which are considered essential components of accessible communication.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/ada-video-requirements\/\">Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-28414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/higher-ed-logos.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" alt=\"legal scales\" width=\"198\" height=\"198\" \/>The ADA is a foundational civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. Two key sections apply to colleges and universities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Title II<\/b> applies to public institutions (such as state colleges and universities), requiring them to provide equal access to all programs, services, and activities. This includes ensuring that digital content is accessible through accurate captioning and transcription.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Title III<\/b> applies to private institutions, mandating that they remove barriers to access and provide auxiliary aids and services, including captioning, to ensure effective communication with students with disabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/ada-update-final-rule-a-clearer-picture-for-captioning-and-audio-description-in-higher-education\/\">Click here for information on the rapidly approaching ADA compliance deadlines<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/how-the-rehabilitation-act-of-1973-impacts-video-requirements-today\/\">The Rehabilitation Act<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Two key provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are especially relevant to higher education institutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Section 504:<\/b> Requires institutions receiving federal funding to provide equal access to students with disabilities through academic adjustments and auxiliary aids, such as captions and transcripts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Section 508:<\/b> Mandates that electronic and information technology used by federally funded institutions be accessible, following standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Common Challenges in Captioning for Higher Education<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4>Restricted Budgets<\/h4>\n<p>State schools have set funding for academic programs and departments, whether it be from private donations or state and federal funding. This requires state schools to operate within a limited budget, which is one of their most significant barriers to captioning. They will look for a captioning solution that allows them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/building-accessibility-budget\/\">stay within budget<\/a> while still maintaining a 99% accuracy rate of their content.<\/p>\n<h4>Workflow and Compatibility<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-26328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/books-library-icon-300x300.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" alt=\"books on shelf\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the process for captioning in higher education varies from college to college, there are often several steps a professor must go through to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/how-to-add-captions\/\">get a video captioned<\/a> on time. Sending a captioning request may take a lot of back and forth. Having a solution that helps a college streamline the captioning process will ensure that videos are captioned when students need them.<\/p>\n<p>There are many options for lecture capture systems and video platforms, and schools will use whichever platform fits their unique needs. To ensure their transcription and captioning processes are seamless and efficient, schools will look for captions that are compatible with their lecture capture systems and video platforms.<\/p>\n<h4>Complex Content<\/h4>\n<p>Higher education institutions offer multiple areas of study and hundreds of degrees and certificates with different focuses. For reference, the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers over 600 undergraduate majors and certificates. With large amounts of high-level content in varying subjects, it\u2019s a challenge for schools to ensure their content is transcribed accurately.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-blue-blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/usfsp-captions-transcripts-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How Captions &amp; Transcripts Impact Students\u2019 Performance<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Vendor Features Are Important for Higher Education?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4>Guaranteed Accuracy<\/h4>\n<p>3Play Media\u2019s closed captions and transcripts comply with federal accessibility laws.
