[Web4lib] Video repositories beyond Facebook

[Alan Cockerill]

Not as a matter of course, but definitely on an 'as needs basis'.

The University's response to accessibility issues are coordinated by a
distinct unit in our institution who work with students and help other units
cater to their requirements. 

So yes we would provide whatever our AccessAbility people deemed appropriate
to meet a student's needs.  Remember these are not publicly accessible (for
copyright reasons), we know exactly who the audience is (students enrolled
in a particular subject) and we have formal mechanisms for determining and
meeting any equity requirements.

Cheers, Alan.

What steps are you taking to make these Flash objects accessible to
disabled users?  Are you providing transcripts or closed-captioning?

Thanks,
