    Erin Sheehan's posted article http://www.umich.edu/webaccess/best/caption.html is a topic that has been on my mind often ever since I learned about Universal Design. Captioning is very important for students with hearing impairments, language barriers, or who are easily distracted by class noises.
    One interesting thing that I did learn about captioning is how it can make your video more searchable and how viewers spend more time on a captioned video. Viewers are also more likely to watch a captioned video in its entirety. I have done a good job in my classes as far as presenting material in multiple ways, but I want to make better efforts towards language barriers. I would like to find some free resources that help me with this plan.

    On this site Our toolkit The analysis steps on this page require no knowledge of programming languages, and use only two tools to assist the analyst-both of which may be downloaded for free. The Firefox browser, (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) for which many other free tools have been developed both to assist in accessibility analysis and to directly assist persons with disabilities. I chose this site because it is very thorough on how to make sure your site is accessible to everyone. It is also user firendly. I think this is a great resource to become familiar with before building a website.
