Accessibility

Captioning

All our online events include real-time captioning. We are using both Adobe Connect and Blackboard Collaborate to stream the virtual confernece. Both products are caption friendly and provide components for the caption stream. The video recording of the webcast will be captioned and posted following the event. (This usually takes a number of weeks).

Screenreader Access

Both Adobe Connect and Blackboard Collaborate are screenreader accessible. We will post tips for using both products with a screenreader shortly.

Ticket Types

Individual Ticket

Play the seminar on your computer. Includes access the captioned recording of the event afterwards.

Group Ticket

Project the seminar in a meeting room or hall to as many of your colleagues as you like. You can share access to the recording of the event with any of your colleagues. Broadcast of the event is limited to one location. You may purchase additional "site add-ons" to show the event at multiple locations.

Site add-on

This option, when purchased with a group ticket, allows you to project or show the webinar at an additional site. Once you have purchased a group ticket you can purchase as many "site add-ons" as needed.

How Does It Work

After registering for the event, you will receive an e-mail before the event with the instructions and url to connect to the webinar. You will also receive instructions on testing your system before the broadcast day. After the event, once the session recordings are captioned and posted, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to access the posted video. The video will be available for viewing for up to at least 1 year after the webcast.
