Accessibility Tools & Resources for IT Pros (Workshop) - Fall 2020 IT Pro Forum
From ITPF Zoom4
From ITPF Zoom4
We have a lot of accessibility tools and resources on this campus - Aira, Otter.ai, ZoomText, JAWS, captioning services, DRES, the IT Accessibility Liaison program, and more. Every IT Pro is likely to run into a situation where they need one or more of these, whether for themselves or their customers. In this series of presentations, IT Pros will share tools they use and support, and they'll be available to answer any questions.
Learning Outcome: Participants will gain confidence in their ability to locate appropriate tools and guide customers through setting them up and using them. They will also make contacts with accessibility specialists on campus for future questions and challenges, both for themselves and their customers.
The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
