Going Beyond Captions: Creating Accessible Instructional Videos

Register for this Niche Academy webinar!

Many libraries offer instructional videos for use on their websites.

Unfortunately, research shows that oftentimes these videos are inaccessible to patrons with disabilities. For example, Clossen and Proces (2017) found that only 52% of the videos they examined were properly captioned, and many had additional accessibility problems.

In this webinar, Melissa Wong will help participants learn to create fully accessible instructional videos. The webinar will begin with a brief overview of disability that puts accessibility practices into context, then introduce design practices that support accessibility, including planning, narration, typography, and graphic design. Finally, the workshop will introduce standards and practices for captions, transcripts, and descriptive audio.

If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.
