ID&D KB How-to Guide

Working together to enhance teaching & learning. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the ID&D team.

In accordance with Section 508 of the American Disability Act, Instructional videos at Salisbury University are to include closed captions.  The benefits of captions goes beyond this act and are beneficial for ALL viewers:

  • Ensures a diverse audience can view your video, including deaf and hearing impaired and individuals for whom English is a second language.

  • Increases comprehension and retention as viewers are engaged in multiple senses, visual and auditory.  Seeing text and hearing audio tougher reinforces learning concepts, provides clarity to vocabulary, fosters understanding and helps those with learning disabilities.

Faculty are encouraged to include closed captioning for all of their Panopto instructional recordings.  As such, faculty can modify captions created by the faculty member, by the automated speech recognition (ASR) service or by the 3PlayMedia service.
