Summary of Session

In this session, Blake Reid from Colorado Law and Lily Bond from 3Play Media will give a comprehensive view of closed captioning for educational video: how to do it, what the legal requirements are, and how copyright law impacts third party captioning.

Abstract

The prevalence of online video in the past few years has led to an incredible virtual library of resources on pretty much every topic you could imagine. It is no surprise that because of this, educational institutions have taken to utilizing online video as course material. One of the great challenges of using videos in which you don't hold the copyright is that accessibility laws require most educational institutions to provide closed captions for video content. In this presentation, Blake Reid and Lily Bond will dispel myths around the interaction between copyright and captioning law, focusing on the legality of captioning copyrighted video content. Further, they will go over workflows and tools for captioning third party content, providing a comprehensive plan of attack for institutions facing these issues. Topics include how to caption video content, the intersection of copyright and accessibility law, statutory exemptions, fair use, and the future of copyright & captioning.

Keypoints

  1. Captioning basics, workflows, and tools for captioning third party content
  2. Accessibility law: why captioning is required (and important) in higher education
  3. Why copyright law shouldn't (for the most part) stop you from captioning
