What are other examples
of things designed for a
specific audience which
turned out to benefit an
unintended audience?
Universal Design for Learning
a set of principles for
curriculum development
that give all individuals
equal opportunities to learn.
UDL Principles
Provide Multiple Means of Representation
(the “what” of learning)
Provide Multiple Means of Action & Expression
(the “how” of learning)
Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
(the “why” of learning)

Why
?
Closed Captioning for
Educational Video Content
Our First
Attempt
Now What?
O Are we expected to CC for every video?
O Could we get sued if we don’t CC video?
O Who has time for this?
O It is expensive to purchase CC service!
O How do you accurately CC to be ADA
Compliant?
O If there isn’t a known disability in a class, is
CC required?
O Would CC videos help others?
With UDL in mind, videos
with closed captioning is a
feature that can help a large
population of students to
meet a variety of needs.
How Many Americans
Use
?
O 95 million use captioning.
O 28 million are hearing impaired.
O 30 million are ESL
O 27 million are improving their literacy
skills.
O 10 million are children learning to read.
O Over 31% of the population uses closed
captions to watch TV.
What is
O Closed Captioning
O Open Captioning
O Post Production
O Live Captioning
O Roll-Up Captioning
O Pop-On Captioning
O Subtitles
?
Who Else Uses
?
Can
help in learning?
O Research on using captions for instruction
has shown that that using text captions with
audio and video helps student motivation,
vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
O The number of captioned educational videos
is very small, totaling less than 15% of the
number available for purchase.
