We know this is an investment, so get the most out of it.
Core Curriculum and Required Courses
Invest, first, where you can have the largest impact. Start by investing in your core curriculum or required courses.
- Courses where the material is well-established and does not change often.
- Courses taken by most students at your school, and courses that are required for specific majors.
- Courses offered year-around or with multiple sections in a term/semester.
Closed-Captioning Service Tips
I’m an educator, so I agree that:
- adding your own closed-captioning is time consuming; and
- paying for a closed-captioning service is expensive.
To get the most out of your investment, we encourage you to create lectures/videos that “stand the test of time”. If you’re paying for captions, caption a video that is resuable. Follow these tips for creating “Lectures with Long-term Use“.
