ACCESSIBLE MASON How We Got Started, How We Have Evolved, Next Steps

Background (Docsoft:AV unit) Purchased and Implemented Docsoft:AV in Aug After 1st year…still no captioning! –Unit was not being utilized One staff member captioned videos (on her own time) for one of their departmental programs One staff member transcribed interviews from research project –Pushback from faculty/staff Myth regarding voice transcription capability (not 100%!) Lack of time and resources on part of departments/units Lack of faculty/staff technical knowledge

Getting to a Pilot Project! January 2011 – Submitted proposal to provide in-house captioning services June 2011 – Proposal for FY12 was approved! –Bulk went toward increased staffing (1 PT to FT, 2 grad students) –Technology-related needs (laptops, Docsoft:AV/:TE licensing, etc.) –Unexpected costs (Outsourcing captioning and AD) July 2011 – Training and Setup (In-house)… Aug./Sept – Launching the Pilot Project! –Worked with 1 Instructional Designer –Emphasis on Windows Media Files (WMV) –Content came from: –YouTube, GMU-TV station, iTunesU, DE courses, Mason “channels” (i.e., YouTube, Vimeo) –3-week turnaround time on jobs!

Accessible Media Pilot Workflow (Fall 2011) REQUEST SUBMISSION RECEIVED VIA CMS SENT TO GA FOR FILE PREPDOCSOFT.GMU.EDUDOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPTEDIT WITH DOCSOFT:TE UPLOAD VIDEO TO GMU STREAMING SERVER ATI WEB SERVER (Upload ASX and SMI files) link to ASX file for faculty/staff member (Web Hosting Server)

Pilot Project Results Results –Just under 12 hours of video –No AD –Most submissions from ID herself, some from staff (websites) Host of Issues Identified! –Delivery method (WMV, buffering issues) –File Prep/Timing (3 weeks) –Streaming server (unreliable, 5GB limit, used as storage) –Lack of technical knowledge –Marketing (Is this a pilot??)

Retool for Spring Rollout End of Jan 2012 (Beginning of Spring semester) **Goal to make service available to more IDs/faculty…eventually entire university** How we fixed issues? –Delivery method (Created YouTube channel) –Quality of captions (e.g., Media Access Group at WGBH Best Practices)Media Access Group at WGBH Best Practices –Procedures to address video description requests & outsourcing (e.g., over 60 min, less than 3-wk) –Lack of technical knowledge (Trial & Error) –Marketing (DE Council, Faculty Orientation Workshops, CDE, ID, Library)

Evolution since FY12 FY13 Highlights Good –YouTube was familiar –2.5x # of requests from FY12 –Included in DE course reviews –Reduced turnaround time to days Bad –A lot of manual hand-off –Lack of predictability –GA’s couldn’t handle most immediate requests –Hire/Lose/Re-hire SWs –Copyright issues (2 YouTube accounts) FY14 Highlights Good –Inclusion! University shift (Kaltura) –Growing predictability –2.8x # of requests from FY13 –RFP for captioning/transcription –Improved workflows –Reduced turnaround time to 4 business days Bad –Copyright Issues (Added 3 rd YouTube account) –Outsourcing costs

REQUEST SUBMISSION RECEIVED VIA ATI WEBSITE ACCMEDIA COORDINATOR PREPS FILE YOUTUBE/KALTURA (Primary) or DOCSOFT.GMU.EDU DOCSOFT ONLY: DOWNLOAD SRT file EDIT WITH DOCSOFT:TE/MOVIECAPTIONER/YOUT UBE (Primary) UPLOAD FINAL VIDEO AND SRT FILE TO YOUTUBE or KALTURA, THEN SEND LINK(S) OR PUSH VIDEO Outsource to 3 rd party (automatic for videos over 15 minutes or immediate need) Updated Accessible Media Workflow (Fall 2014)
