an approach to the design of all products and
environments to be as usable as possible by as many people as possible
regardless of age, ability or situation
What are other examples of things designed for a specific audience which turned out to benefit an unintended audience?
Universal Design for Learning
a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.
UDL PrinciplesProvide Multiple Means of
Representation (the “what” of learning)
Provide Multiple Means of Action & Expression (the
“how” of learning)
Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
(the “why” of learning)

Why ?Closed Captioning for
Educational Video Content
Our First Attempt
Now What?O Are we expected to CC for every
video?O Could we get sued if we don’t CC
video?O Who has time for this?O It is expensive to purchase CC
service!O How do you accurately CC to be ADA
Compliant?O If there isn’t a known disability in a
class, is CC required?O Would CC videos help others?
With UDL in mind, videos with closed captioning is a feature that can help a large population of students to meet a variety of needs.
How Many Americans Use ?
O95 million use captioning.O28 million are hearing impaired.O30 million are ESLO27 million are improving their
literacy skills.O10 million are children learning
to read.OOver 31% of the population uses
closed captions to watch TV.
What is ?O Closed
CaptioningO Open Captioning O Post Production O Live Captioning O Roll-Up
CaptioningO Pop-On
Captioning O Subtitles
Who Else Uses ?
Can help in learning?O Research on using captions for instruction
has shown that that using text captions with audio and video helps student motivation, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
O The number of captioned educational videos is very small, totaling less than 15% of the number available for purchase.
