This was a very interesting “free” webinar that I attended in February 2017 by 3Play Media, Oregon State University, and Online Learning Consortium on the topic of “The State of Closed Captioning in Higher Education”. They provided research data and results from a study they did at Oregon State University.

15. Captioning Scenario #1
You’ve recorded a video lesson and you’d like to take care of captioning the video on your own.

16. Captioning Scenario #1
It’s optional, but you can now start generating captions from the desktop recorder.

17. Captioning Scenario #1
Generate captions with speech-to-text; add captions manually; or add assignee.

18. Captioning Scenario #1
You’ve recorded a video lesson and you’d like to take care of captioning the video on your own.
Demo

19. Captioning Scenario #2
You’ve recorded multiple videos for your class and realize that you don’t have time to complete the captioning on your own.
You’d like help, so you add a student or another faculty member as an “assignee” to caption your video(s).

20. Captioning Scenario #2
You can still start generating captions from the desktop recorder, but again, it’s optional.

21. Captioning Scenario #2
Add an Assignee (Megan, in this example) from the Activity Tab in Relay to grant access to help caption your video(s).

22. Captioning Scenario #2
The Assignee (Megan) will receive an notification with a link to view the video(s) that have been assigned to her.

23. Captioning Scenario #2
Here is Megan’s Relay Activity page. It shows what videos have been ‘Assigned to Me’ (Megan).
When she clicks the ‘Edit Captions’ button, it will open the Caption Editor.

24. Captioning Scenario #2
If captions were already generated, the Assignee (Megan)will be notified when they can be edited.

25. Captioning Scenario #2
You’ve recorded multiple videos for your class and realize that you don’t have time to complete the captioning on your own.
You’d like help, so you add a student or another faculty member as an “assignee” to caption your video(s).
