>> Ok, it's Suzanne Delahanty again
with COD's Creating Accessible Online Courses.
And you're at the point now where you've already learned how
to do your YouTube video,
do a short closed captioning, and post it online.
That's great.
But you know what?
Most of us don't have just a few short videos.
Most of us have videos that are more than five minutes,
if not 30 minutes, an hour, two hours some of us.
And I know I've got at least 40 or 50,
so I said there's no way I'm going
to be able to do this myself.
Even if I had the time, I wouldn't want to,
so honestly I went looking for another solution.
And I found out about 3CMediaSolutions.org,
and that's what you're looking at here.
It's a free service, completely legal.
That's the most important thing, of course, that is available
to community college instructors.
You can open a free account.
There's never any charge.
You can actually have them close caption all of your videos
as long as they're, you know, legally yours to use in class
for educational purposes, that is completely fine.
And you can have them do the closed captioning
within three to four days.
They get the whole thing done, and I've submitted at least 40
or 50 already, and they've all come
out absolutely perfect within a few days.
So I'm going to show you how to set up an account,
and then I'm going to show you how
to actually request a captioning,
request one of your videos completely closed captioned
by a professional.
So what you need to do first before you can do any closed
captioning is set up a free account.
So you go to Register.
And after you do that, you have to put in your user name
and of course your email address using the college one,
and your full name, and then under organization,
you are going to put College of the Desert.
There is a, actually a place for that,
so if you scroll all the way down you will see it.
There it is.
And you would have to say I agree to this account,
and within about an hour it should be fine in setup.
And of course, you will have to set up a password for yourself,
and they will email you, letting you know that everything is good
and that you can log in.
And when that's done, you should be able to go right
into the page and log in on the main page under Log-In
on the top right here, so that is what I do.
And I'm going to show you how to not only upload a file but how
to actually request closed captioning for it.
So that was a little confusing for me.
There's really no direction, so I will show you how to do it.
So once you have your user name and password and they email you
and welcome you, you're going to go back
to the main website here.
They may provide you a link,
but let's say you're starting from scratch.
You're going to see this.
So you're going to go to Log In.
And I already have my user name and password prefilled in there,
so I'm going to log in.
And as you can see, I've requested captioning
for several videos, very long videos recently,
and those are already done for me.
And so what I'm going to do here is to get to my account,
this is this little guy up here in the upper right,
and that's just going to show you messages and so forth
and recently uploaded videos, but what I want
to do is I'm going to go to Media,
and this is where you're going to upload videos.
If you have PowerPoints, you can upload those or documents
to the Files location or audio podcasts,
but don't put your videos under Files or your files under Media.
The videos only go under Media.
They are very strict on that.
You can try it, but it won't work.
I have organized folders.
You can create new folders.
And I've organized all my videos by different classes.
So for instance, in this class, which is CAOC,
Creating Accessible Online Courses, I'm going to go ahead
and go into that course, and I've already created that folder
and I've uploaded one video.
To show you how I got that video uploaded, all I did,
well first of all, I created this one myself,
and I downloaded it to my computer.
So I actually was able to just upload it right here directly.
Now, if you have YouTube videos, you can actually link
to 3C Media, but here's the catch.
You cannot have them closed captioned by them.
They will not do it unless you download the video first
from YouTube, which you can do if they're,
usually if they're educational, and they're not, you know,
limited in some way as far as the, the legal status.
You can download them and upload them
onto their site under your files.
So that's what I've done with some of mine.
And so when you hit Upload New Media, they are going
to show you two options.
You can actually post something that is on YouTube,
but they won't close caption it for you.
So that's not going to do you any good in this class,
for sure, or really teaching online at COD
since we know it's now a rule.
So I'm not going to do that any more.
I'm just going to upload my own
and have them closed captioned for free by 3C Media.
So I just say ok, I'm going to upload my own video,
which I've created or I've downloaded off
of my YouTube page.
And of course, they are fully legal things
that I have purchased or own or are educational use only.
Then you must title it.
So in this case, I'm going to upload a video
that I just created for this course, and I am going
to show you that video here in just a second.
Here it is.
And to make it quick, I will highlight the name,
and that is the title here.
You have to put that in there.
I'm going to say no license.
You can say creative commons if you downloaded it
from Wikipedia or something.
And then here I would describe it,
and I would have to say I agree.
So I'm not going to describe it
since I've already uploaded this.
Now you must select it.
It's not going to automatically know.
So I'm going to my desktop, and I'm going
to open it and say upload.
One more step.
It's a small video, so it's only going to take,
probably about five minutes.
So anyway, that's what you would do to upload it.
So it's going to take about an hour for it
to get fully processed and uploaded.
So after it's done, I'll show you what it looks like.
You're going to go into Media.
Oh, he's busy, oh, ok.
And in here, I'm going to go back to my folder,
and you know I'm uploading one video right here.
It's identical to this one, which is already done.
So to not make you wait, I have it ready.
This is what it's going to look like when it's ready.
This same video.
You can even see a screen shot of it.
And in here, you will see now options that you can select.
Details and Options is the one that we want.
I could view it or edit it even, but I don't want
to do that or delete it.
So I go to Details and Options.
And under here you're going to have all sorts
of wonderful options, but the most important is submit
for captioning.
I'm going to select this, and this is all for free.
It's funded by a grant for the community colleges,
and it's a wonderful thing, and the grant money is not forever,
so take advantage while you can.
I know I am.
Now one thing you have to do is you have
to tell them how long the video is, so I'm going to go back here
to my video and briefly view it so I can see how,
or at least I can see the length of it.
It's 10 minutes and 56 seconds.
You can see that right there.
So I'm going to go ahead and close that now that I know.
And I'm going to put that 10 minutes and 56 seconds.
Not sure why they need to know that exactly, but maybe just
to keep themselves scheduled properly.
And I'm not going to put section number.
I'm just putting the course number in there,
and I'm just going
to put COD-Creating Online Accessible Courses.
You could pretty much put anything you want there.
They don't seem to care.
And you can put your section number for your course,
and then put the term that you're teaching this in.
Again, I'm not really sure if that matters.
If you have certain terms that are very scientific that need
to be translated for the person who is transcribing,
you should definitely put in transcriber notes.
I've had no issues.
I'm uploading mostly general technology or history
or psychology documents, so for the most part,
they seem to be well understood by the translaters,
and I have not yet had any issue at all.
So I do put myself as the author, even for the ones
that I actually did not create, because I own them and I would
like them closed captioned.
So I'm going to go ahead and say submit,
and essentially what this does is it's going to put
in a submission request for closed captioning.
Now, you are not going to know anything until it's done.
I do know here that my request has been granted or submitted.
So let me show you what it looks
like when those closed captioned submissions have been completed.
So I will go up here to my messages,
and in here you will get messages in here
that will tell you, in this case, I have four videos
that my closed captioning requests are completed for,
and these are very long videos.
Most of these were at least an hour,
so I was very happy about that.
And once you're done looking at those, you can dismiss,
but I like to know what's been done,
and that way I can post them to my website,
and they're now fully accessible.
So it's an excellent tool.
It's going to save you a lot of time.
It's free.
It's very simple to use.
And the cool thing is, is you don't have to worry about ads.
You can actually post all of your videos here.
You can organize them here much cleaner,
much faster than on YouTube.
There's no junk, no porn to worry about.
No questionable ads or content,
and your students will be taken directly to your link.
You have full authority on what they can see.
Once nice thing about this tool, for instance,
if you go into Details again on this particular piece of video
that I've uploaded, I can go in and I can make some changes.
I can change the title in here.
I can actually download the caption file once
that has been completed, so if you need
to create a caption file for someone
for screen reader, you can also do that.
But I can also tell the site that I would be completely ok
with people downloading the link to their own computer
or the video download to their own computer.
Since I know this is for COD for faculty
and there's no copyright issues, I'm completely fine with that.
I just hope nobody uses it
for the wrong reasons, but that's fine.
So I'm going to save these settings, and I'm happy.
You can also categorize it.
I put it under Educational Technology.
There isn't one for assistive technology, unfortunately,
so that was the best I could do.
So that is a wonderful tool,
and I hope that everyone takes advantage
of it before it's no longer free.
And if you have any questions, please just email me.
Ok, hope you learned something and have a great day.
