Online

We will discuss best practice when captioning and will explore two applications (Kaltura and YouTube) that can be used to create closed captions for your videos. Both use computer-generated captioning which often requires that captions be edited by the video owner to improve accuracy. Research has shown that closed captions can benefit all learners as they watch the video content.
Learn more about it here: https://er.educause.edu/articles/2017/8/a-rising-tide-how-closed-captions-can-benefit-all-students. In addition, we’ll explore tools that you can use to make your documents accessible such as tagging images, using styles in Microsoft Word, etc.
Once registered and if you will be attending via online please plan to join 10 minutes before the session begins to make sure you connect successfully.

Forests evolved before dinosaurs and are essential to our survival. Interdisciplinary science provides new insights into how to balance co-benefits for community, climate, ecology and public health. More than ever we need an intact network of nature for people and the planet. This class reviews recent and established science on ecosystem features and services and the importance of a strategic balance among resource production, research and data collection, and nature preserves. It will also highlight the limits of current knowledge, offer a special focus on brain health, and emphasize the importance of an ethos of “first do no harm” in our stewardship of the natural world.
