If resources are limited in terms of technological solutions  it is a question of what to prioritise. Try not to approach accessibility as a ‘bolt on’ afterthought”.

Personalisation of viewing:

  • Allow learners to adjust the size, position of captions, turning on/off and possibly their colour (captions are usually white letters encased in a black box)
  • Allow learners to adjust the speed of the video and the caption delivery Figure 1.
  • Videos hosted in YouTube usually allows for this flexibility
