Captioning for online courses

In some courses, videos have auto-generated captions. Viewing auto-generated captions is optional. Please be aware that captioning is at best 70-90% accurate and by nature will include error. This depends on the subject matter, speaker, audio quality etc. Words prone to error include specialized terminology and proper names. Students are asked to refer to the audio feed for clarification of any errors.

If you find captioning that is offensive, please contact your instructor and/or teaching assistant so that they are aware. If you require captions as part of an academic accommodation, and need more information please contact CAL.
