Top 5 reasons why you should caption e-learning videos

Increase your Reach

Reaching Out to the Search Engine

Use video transcripts for promotional

purposes

Lending an Ear

Visual Reinforcement

To make e-learning materials more accessible to the students

“Of every 1,000 students 3 suffer from hearing loss” states a research. So, ADA

(Americans with Disabilities Act) has enforced laws to make every learning material

accessible to all Americans, equally.

By adding captioning e-learning videos:

Deaf (or hard of hearing) students should now be able to

comprehend your contents, which may otherwise be

impossible for them.

And, you satisfy the Disability Rights Section

of ADA.

Benefits for You!

One; directly captioning your educational videos can help grow their reach, but, the videos’

transcripts can be used for more than that.

Transcripts make content creation way easier. You can easily convert the text transcript for

other promotional purposes.

Your company can have your entire video transcribed,

and then published as e-books or even text books.

From student’s perspective

In a another survey conducted recently, the participants (students)were asked

“how often would you use closed captions?”, it was reported that about 26%

stated “always”, 37% stated “often” and only others stated “rarely” or “never”.

And, about 89% of them stated they would download the transcripts whenever

available.

Helps them retain information for much longer

It assists them when the audio quality is poor

Also, captioning e-learning videos will guide them

through difficult vocabulary, which should improve

their proficiency in the subject.

Reaching Out to the Search Engine

Google reported 2 trillion searches in 2016, which averages at about 100 billion searches a

month. And, through the course of this year 74% of these searches will be for videos.

SEO plays a significant role if you have to bring your online content to the fore-front, and

videos aren’t any different.

The transcripts of e-learning videos allow Google to crawl

through your video content and so index them.
