For now, we recommend waiting out the waves of accessibility standards implementation. Discuss implementation options with university stakeholders, but resist locking onto an approach until your institution's leadership has solidified a definite plan and enacted accountability measures. Throughout the often lengthy process of determining an accessibility action plan, your university may consider everything from requiring accurate captions for every video within the next year to encouraging best practices and collecting data on gradual standard adoption. Although it is important to hold discussions, we recommend waiting as long as necessary before locking into a specific plan; doing so avoids having to change training material and messages to faculty, such as whether accessibility implementation is "required" or "recommended."
jenn stevens on 17 Mar 17Thought this was interesting but with several strong caveats: 1) this is from a company that takes an promotional and generally uncritical view of edtech companies. 2) the claim si that people don't use threaded discussions anywhere in the real world - what about facebook?! It's all about threaded discussions! 3) the solution to all of this is threaded video discussions because writing is hard. All that said, I do like the shout out to 1st gen college students finding it more welcoming.
