This process is followed when videos, narrated slides, and other audio or video content is used in a course.
Process
Process Notes
- (A): Transcription requests are generated by clicking on the "Request Help" button within the "Help" menu in I-Learn. This allows the system to pre-load course info and other details into the request.
- (B): Requests for transcriptions are made through the designer.
- (C): Checking for duplicate requests is an automated process. This process compares the requested content's URL to a database of prior requests. If duplicates are found, the metadata tags for the transcript are updated to include the new course in which the media/transcript is being used.
- (D): Transcript files are stored in Equella's "Managed Content" area. They are then tagged by course name and the word Transcript to make them searchable.
Best Practices
- Transcriptions are primarily provided in HTML format with RTF as a backup.
- Online courses are created and delivered in compliance with WCAG 2.0 AA standards and BYU-Idaho's Technical Quality Practices.
Associated Policies
- The Online Organization follows the guidance from the BYU-Idaho Disability Services office regarding ADA standards and compliance and defers to them when questions arise.

Process Note B - transcripts are requested by all designers as they work on course development and improvement projects, but statement B indicates these requests are only completed by designers serving as CCD.

Great catch, Christina! We'll go ahead and update the language. Thanks for your input!
