A more advanced way to introduce your course is through a welcome video. This can include a short introduction, your educational and teaching background, why you are a teacher, what you hope students gain from your course, and any interesting facts. A short video gives students a more interactive welcome.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using videos or other multimedia forms like podcasts, whether your own or links from sources like YouTube, you should make sure you include <\/span><b>transcriptions and captions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These ensure that media is available in more than one format.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Transcripts: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a video includes sound, it should have a transcript available with text, for those with hearing impairments or for those who are visual learners. It\u2019s also best if videos have captions on the screen that explain what sound is on screen.<br \/>\n<\/span><b>TIP: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your video does not include instruction that must be followed along with (i.e. lab videos, math explanations, etc.), a transcript will work. For example, most lecture videos only need a transcript.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Caption: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if your video does require students to follow along with you, you should caption your video (i.e. words follow along with visual on screen).\u00a0<\/span>There are several captioning and transcription resources available, both for free and for a cost. Be sure to check with your university\u2019s library or disability services to see if they offer free transcription or captioning services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See an example Welcome video: <a href=\"http:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/accessibility\/multimedia-samples\/\">Course Intro<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Screen recordings: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/screencast-o-matic.com\/home\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screencast-o-matic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a free screen reading tool that helps you record parts of your screen, if you want to make a video showing a specific skill from your computer. You can also record videos from your webcam or Windows Movie Maker or iMovie to export to YouTube, which has captioning capabilities. You can even export PowerPoints as videos and upload them to YouTube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Interactive PowerPoint Presentations: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PowerPoints can be useful in an online course.
