How this course works

You can read the pages in any order, and you do not have to mark a page complete to move to the next one. To earn your certificate, click Mark Complete on each lesson and topic as you finish it, then take the final quiz and score 85% or higher. When every page is complete and the quiz is passed, your certificate unlocks and you can download it anytime from the course page.

Video is everywhere in teaching and campus life: recorded lectures, how-to clips, student projects, event recordings. A video is accessible when it delivers the same content, at the same time, in more than one way, so that everyone can understand both what is said and what is shown, whether or not they have a disability.

This course covers the practical work of making video accessible for any audience: what the law requires, how to caption well (the single most important step), how to provide transcripts and, when needed, audio description, how to keep the slides behind a video accessible, and an important habit for course video, using your learning platform’s own video tools so the accessibility features switch on.

Work through the lessons, then take the quiz. Score 85% or higher to earn your KSARN certificate.
