#5: Provide Fallback Options for Media

Provide alternative means of consuming media content

For example:

  • Scripts for video
  • Captions for videos (it's free to do in Canvas Studio - requires minimal editing)
  • Summaries/descriptions
  • Annotations

Even if students aren’t blind, they may prefer to read. Or they may lack the bandwidth to stream the video. Again, not just about accessibility, but about a more accommodating experience.
