[ATcoord] Caption integration in Canvas - feature idea

Tue Jan 9 15:59:45 PST 2018

Hi Accessible Tech coordinators and Canvas admins,

A few weeks ago, I was surveyed by the state’s captioning provider, 3Play Media. In my response, I suggested that integrated captioning within Canvas would be helpful. The full conversation is below, but the focus of the request was as follows:

My comment was actually in reference to captioning videos recorded in the Rich Content Editor media tool in Canvas. The RCE is the text editor in basically any text box in Canvas. It has a built in media recording tool. However, extracting videos made in that tool for captioning is difficult even for one video — to do an entire course would be pretty unworkable. Some glue that allows me to select videos from recordings in the Canvas tool, much like I can do now with Panopto or YouTube, would be super helpful.

If you happen to be in conversation with your account rep at 3Play, or feeling the urge to give them some ideas for helpful features, might I suggest the above?

Best,
Marc

Hi Marc,

I'm glad the iFrame embed is helpful and removes some roadblocks for your colleagues!

I am going to ask our team if any other customers have inquired about the RCE component. Do you have any information/documentation on the RCE feature that you could send to me? Any info I have will be helpful in assessing this Canvas feature and if it can integrate with our system.

Best,
David

Hi David,

I’m glad to hear that we can now use an embed code with YouTube videos. That was a huge use case for us, and a barrier to adoption among our faculty. I’m glad it’s no longer an issue.

That make sense?

Hi Marc,

i hope all is well! I noticed in a recent survey that you mentioned that you would like us to integrate with Canvas. While we don't offer an end to end integration with Canvas we do now provide users with iFrame embed code options for embedding our interactive transcript or captions plugins on a Canvas page along with either Kaltura, YouTube, or Brightcove players.

Let me know if this is something you would like to learn more about and we can set up a time to talk. Certainly do not hesitate to reach out should you have any other questions in regards to your account!

Best,
David
