Closed-captioning for Multimedia
If you are planning on showing any films or videos in your course this semester, and have a deaf student registered in your class, these materials must be captioned to provide equal access for this student.
Student Disability Services, in coordination with Instructional Technology Services (ITS) at SDSU, can facilitate provision of captioning for materials that are not captioned. If you DO plan to show media as part of your instruction this semester, please provide the following information to Nalini Brunner at npankhan@mail.sdsu.edu:
- titles of the films, videos, or clips
- the URL, if it is a streaming internet video
- names of producers and other identifiers that will help us located copies of the media
- a copy of your syllabus that provides viewing dates of the media
Once you have submitted your request, you will receive confirmation and specific information (e.g. anticipated date of completion, procedures for accessing the captioned version) pertaining to your request.
We will make every effort to locate this material in a captioned version, or, if needed, create a captioned version through outsourcing. Please keep in mind that the process of captioning videos can take a few days up to several weeks, depending on the type of captioning that is needed and the format of the media itself.
Contact Person for Captioning Media Requests: Nalini Brunner at 619-594-8479 or at npankhan@mail.sdsu.edu.
This effort is a part of the CSU Accessible Technology Initiative. More information can be found at the SDSU ATI web site: http://access.sdsu.edu/instructmater.htm and the CSU ATI web site: http://www.calstate.edu/accessibility/.
