guidelines for video classes (including accessibility)

Document guidelines for video classes. These should include where the videos are stored, how people are expected to participate and ask questions, and making a video class accessible to those with vision loss or hearing loss. May be also include suggestions for software to use to run a video class. The python classes by pulec can serve as a basis for the guidelines.

For those with vision loss.

• Make the notes available ahead of time so attendees can review.
• Verbally announce the section you are on so students can find the place in the notes. (I forgot the word for this and yes there is a word.)
• Verbally describe what is going on.
• What else?

For those with hearing loss.

• Visually display all the information.
• Live captioning.
• Caption the video afterwards and share the captions/subtitles with the video. Do not rely solely on auto-captioning as that has variable quality.
• What else?

These are not exhaustive. Research is needed.
