  1. Blending Needs in a Blended Environment Barbara Wilkins & Julie Phelps Instructional Designers

  2. Our Redesign Efforts • UM System eLearning Initiative • eFellows program began 09-10 • Currently in our 3rd cohort • eLearning Community of Practice • UM System funded online course development mini-grants Spring 2010 • Missouri Course Redesign Initiative (NCAT/NGLC)

  3. Who is Missouri S&T? • Focused on STEM fields, with over 20 different degree programs in science or engineering. • We are traditionally a residential institution located nearly 100 miles from the nearest large airport. • While we offer the Blackboard LMS, its use is not mandated. Faculty are free to decide whether to use the LMS or not.

  4. Missouri S&T Faculty • 25% speak English as a second language • Faculty are experts in their field; research is often 1stteaching is often 2nd. • We have a small faculty community • < 400 full-time faculty • 75% of faculty are tenured or tenure-track

  5. Missouri S&T Students • Incoming freshmen > 1100 • 70% of students from Missouri • 5% of students from outside US • a 63% increase over 10 years ago • Female student population <25%

  6. The Net Generation • Learn by doing or exploring • Technology hungry • Social networking savvy

  7. How do we meet so many needs? personalities attitudes motivations Why go to this trouble? abilities ages learning styles backgrounds learning environments

  8. Universal Design an approach to the design of all products and environments to be as usable as possible by as many people as possible regardless of age, ability or situation By Mario Roberto Duran Ortiz Mariordo (Own work) [GFDL (www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-3.0 (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons>

  21. Why ? Closed Captioning for Educational Video Content

  22. Our First Attempt

  23. Now What? • Are we expected to CC for every video? • Could we get sued if we don’t CC video? • Who has time for this? • It is expensive to purchase CC service! • How do you accurately CC to be ADA Compliant? • If there isn’t a known disability in a class, is CC required? • Would CC videos help others?

  24. With UDL in mind, videos with closed captioning is a feature that can help a large population of students to meet a variety of needs.

  25. How Many Americans Use ? • 95 million use captioning. • 28 million are hearing impaired. • 30 million are ESL • 27 million are improving their literacy skills. • 10 million are children learning to read. • Over 31% of the population uses closed captions to watch TV.

  26. What is ? • Closed Captioning • Open Captioning • Post Production • Live Captioning • Roll-Up Captioning • Pop-On Captioning • Subtitles

  27. Who Else Uses ?

  28. Can help in learning? • Research on using captions for instruction has shown that that using text captions with audio and video helps student motivation, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. • The number of captioned educational videos is very small, totaling less than 15% of the number available for purchase. • ClosedCaptioning.net

  29. Recent History of • 1990 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) • 1991 The Television Decoder Circuitry Act • 1993 required all analog TV to have CC display • 1996 The Telecommunications Act required CC on digital TV by 2002 • 2010 U.S. TV programming required Spanish CC • 2010 Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act HDTV-on/off CC on remotes or signal required of broadcasts redistributed on the web.
