[Accessibility_sig] Captioning requirements on supplemental materials

[Jan Heck]

I apologize in advance, because I suspect this question has been asked
numerous times before over the years.

 

When an instructor in a classroom-based class tapes every lecture using
Camtasia Studio and produces videos, and posts these on the Web as
supplemental materials (i.e., not required, but just provided in case
students wish to review the lecture), are those videos required to be
captioned?  Does the fact that a video is optional rather than required make
any difference in the college's responsibility to get those videos
captioned?  I suspect the answer is no, they MUST be captioned, but I want
to make sure.

 

Of course, we're talking about 3 hours worth of video to be captioned every
week, so making that available to disabled students in a timely manner will
be a challenge.

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback, and please pardon cross-postings.

 

~ Jan
