WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:04.740 It's about accessibility. I mean, you use, 00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:08.300 people have asked me what do you use to teach? What technology? 00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:12.559 And I answer sometimes, with just "Yes." Anything. 00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:22.250 One of the newest teaching tools is video capture services such as Panopto. 00:00:22.250 --> 00:00:26.720 They allow faculty to easily record their lectures and post them on a Web page 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:28.310 where students can view them after class. 00:00:28.310 --> 00:00:34.819 And look at how he says this. So– it wasn't unpleasant. 00:00:34.819 --> 00:00:37.439 It was an intoxication but it wasn't unpleasant. 00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:42.220 And... stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes 00:00:42.220 --> 00:00:45.860 Panopto allows captions to be added to the recorded lectures. 00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:48.499 Those captions are a necessity for students with hearing impairments. 00:00:48.499 --> 00:00:52.129 kaleidoscopic display of colors... 00:00:52.129 --> 00:00:55.190 This kaleidoscopic thing comes up often and often, right? 00:00:55.190 --> 00:00:59.150 So this is like, wow, this is tremendous, but he didn't know what was going on. 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:04.500 Me, as a deaf person, I'm missing out probably three-fourths of the information 00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:05.970 that's out there. 00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:11.470 So captioning is a big thing for me because that's where I get all the information. 00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:20.460 I was surprised when I canvassed my students, 00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:26.220 and over 30% said they were using the captioning 00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:32.220 and I know that there's not 30% of hearing impaired or need for it. 00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:34.130 And I asked a couple of students, 00:01:34.130 --> 00:01:39.250 and they said they wanted to see the words as well as hear the words. 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.600 Other reasons why students like me use Panopto 00:01:43.610 --> 00:01:48.670 is because he talks really fast in the lecture because we have so much material to cover, 00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:53.310 so when I miss something I write down the time on my notebook 00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:56.520 and I go back to the Panopto recording so that I can listen to it again. 00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.770 And I'm like, "Oh, so that's what he was saying," and I understand the whole material better. 00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:08.310 I do use the Panopto videos, particularly when I'm reviewing material. 00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:13.019 I like to, as I'm reading through the lecture slides, I like to replay the lecture videos 00:02:13.019 --> 00:02:17.430 to just reinforce and make sure I'm picking up any supplemental information 00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:19.910 that he says while he's reading through it. 00:02:20.910 --> 00:02:24.129 Other key people can benefit from the combination 00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:29.030 of the visual text along with the audio. 00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:31.670 This includes people who are English language learners 00:02:31.670 --> 00:02:34.099 that would like to hear the word as well as see the word. 00:02:35.399 --> 00:02:38.829 I don't think most of the, all the students do understand all the time 00:02:38.829 --> 00:02:40.349 what the professor is talking. 00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:43.349 It is sometimes necessary to have captions 00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:46.750 so that we can actually jot down things by having a visual. 00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:49.250 Also benefiting from that 00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:51.900 are students who have some types of learning disabilities 00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:56.420 that can benefit from this multimodal presentation 00:02:56.420 --> 00:03:01.129 and students that want to learn the spelling of a particular word. 00:03:01.129 --> 00:03:04.319 One is, it reinforces what I'm hearing 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.749 so I'm seeing it both visually and getting it auditorily, 00:03:07.749 --> 00:03:09.919 so we're hitting multiple systems at the same time, 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.090 creating stronger associations. 00:03:12.090 --> 00:03:16.769 Second is, a lot of times I can have difficulty understanding 00:03:16.769 --> 00:03:21.900 exactly what some people are saying because when you get into technical terms and jargon 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:26.299 they're talking so quickly it can be very hard to keep track of. 00:03:26.299 --> 00:03:28.859 So being able to read it as I'm hearing it 00:03:28.859 --> 00:03:33.079 further reinforces it and also helps me with grammar and spelling. 00:03:33.079 --> 00:03:37.090 Captions can be useful to any student trying to watch the video 00:03:37.090 --> 00:03:40.879 in a loud room or in a room that's very quiet. 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.849 I use captions when I'm in a quiet library 00:03:44.849 --> 00:03:48.950 and I don't want to turn up the volume too loud so I turn on captions 00:03:48.950 --> 00:03:52.239 and I can see the words instead of hearing them. 00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:56.040 Panopto also enables students to do a keyword search 00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:59.290 to find every instance when a word appears in the lecture 00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:01.500 and to fast-forward to that moment. 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:05.819 For instance you might want to look through those captions, 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.449 search through the captions, 00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:12.519 to find a particular part in the video where your instructor presented something 00:04:12.519 --> 00:04:16.930 that you want to listen to again without listening to the whole video. 00:04:16.930 --> 00:04:21.220 If you have the captions now you have a way of searching. 00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:25.030 You can search the video to find the word you're looking for 00:04:25.030 --> 00:04:27.630 and then play that little piece of video back. 00:04:27.630 --> 00:04:34.000 So everybody benefits from captions because they allow for search of video. 00:04:39.420 --> 00:04:41.280 You just have to try different things, 00:04:41.290 --> 00:04:45.220 and so as tools come up you should try them 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.730 to see if in fact that might maybe replace a tool 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.660 or might hit a population that you weren't hitting before. 00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:56.600 As a teacher, I have the obligation of reaching those students.
