The purpose of this document is to outline the Captioning and Accessibility Operating Procedure for all A-State academic programs. The adoption of this operating procedure requires that all video content used for class instruction is captioned to create greater accessibility, and when video content is deemed essential but captions cannot be provided, transcripts must be made available to students. This procedure ensures that those who are deaf or hearing impaired or those with other related challenges have equal access to learning materials. This procedure is also advantageous for students without disabilities, as there are many learning and processing benefits to captioned audio content.
