VoiceThread: How can faculty order high-quality captions?

How To

Question: 

How can faculty order high-quality captions for a VoiceThread in D2L Brightspace?


Answer:

VoiceThread audio and video comments made within D2L using our site license will be captioned automatically shortly after creation, typically in about 3 minutes. Users should edit their own captions using these instructions to make sure they are correct. If high-quality, human-generated captions are needed as for an accommodation, faculty can use the Captioning Request form. Please include in the description the course, section, and semester, and where in the course the VoiceThreads are located. Captions ordered from Metropolitan State’s vendor are usually available within a couple of days. However, if perfect captions are needed right away, again, VoiceThread’s automatically generated captions can be manually edited. After captions are available, be sure to turn them on for your VoiceThread.
