Description
Videos, podcasts, PowerPoints, infographics, diagrams, photographs, and other media have become commonplace in the classroom. In this workshop, participants will review the WCAG 2.1 AA and Ohio State M-DAS regulations for using multimedia or multimodal course materials. One facilitator will review Ohio State resources for adding captions and transcripts and walk through the major parts of the process. Another facilitator will demonstrate how screen readers work with image-heavy files and websites, then demonstrate a few examples of audio description. In the second half of the workshop, participants will create a list of potentially difficult multimodal materials they use currently, discuss their list in small groups, and work with an accessibility or ed tech expert to determine what steps to take to ensure accessibility.
