Be sure to use captioned media in your course
When using captioned media be sure it is turned on
When turning on the captioning from a DVD or BlueRay in may be found in the main menu under subtitles
When creating your own video for a lecture you should include a transcript or caption the video
Be aware that auto captioning on YouTube is often inaccurate and can be corrected if are the owner of the video
A transcript may be used in place of captioning when the audio is more important for the instructional purpose.
Rev.com is an economic captioning site that charges $1 per minute
When using a visual cue like powerpoint it is important to remember that Deaf students will need time to look from the interpreter to the powerpoint and back to the interpreter.
Share your powerpoint with the interpreters in advanced
