Accessible Video & Audio
How to Make your Videos and Audio Accessible for Students
- If you have a student with a visual impairment, consider pausing throughout the video to verbally explain important and visually-centered scenes. Do not rely on visual content alone.
- If you have a student with a hearing impairment, use subtitles and captioning to convey important auditory information and dialogue. If your video does not include subtitles, check with the Library to see if there is a captioned version available and/or contact Access Services about captioning resources.
Media Player
The buttons need to be properly labeled so a screen reader user can operate the player.
It is important to accessibility that students can access and operate a media player with the keyboard alone (not using a mouse)
