Distance Education • Do not use ‘voice-over’ • Remember, the effects of ‘lag-time’ are magnified through video conferencing. • Use equipment (T1 line for ex) that supports clear, fluid signing. • Use visuals & caption videos! • Properly frame the shot. • Do not zoom & move the camera much as excessive visual movement is disorienting to deaf audiences.
