\"disability<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Accessibility is about everyone. It is extremely important for students with disabilities to have access to accessible course content.<\/p>\n

Video Notes<\/a> is a built-in media recording tool in Brightspace that allows instructors and learners to record short videos with a webcam. This makes it easy to personalize the learning experience with short, video-based feedback, comments, or instructions. Video Notes can be added where video attachments are supported and when the Brightspace Editor\u2019s Insert Stuff<\/a> option is available.<\/p>\n

People who are deaf or hard of hearing rely on captions and subtitles to understand video content. But there are a lot of other great reasons for using captions. For example, you may have some learners who choose not to use the sound or they cannot use it without disturbing those around them. You may have some learners who are not native in your language or who have trouble understanding you. Closed captions and subtitles will allow these individuals to receive your message and understand it.<\/p>\n

Did you know you can generate automatic closed captions<\/strong> for newly created Video Notes AND you have the ability to manually add or edit closed captions for all previously recorded Video Notes?<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to do it.<\/h3>\n
