With the new ADA Title II Compliance Deadline coming up in April of 2026, the vast majority of digital content being created and utilized for courses, research, and communication needs to be in compliance with that law. Videos and Audio need proper caption files associated with them and this workshop will discuss how to create those captions, clean the captions up for display, and utilizing them in the MiVideo Platform. This is meant to be a basics captioning workshop in which we’ll look at tools that are free or included for members of the University community and we’ll learn processes that are easy to follow once learned.

This workshop will not be able to include more advanced captioning concepts and best practices. For those who are already familiar with how to use captions in MiVideo, do basic editing of captions and get captions back into MiVideo, there is a planned follow-up to this workshop for Jan 2026 which will address more advanced captioning concepts and best practices.
