Recorded presentations videos can be machine close captioned in Kaltura. Sessions recorded in Webex can also be set to machine close caption prior to posting.  Machine close captioning is approximately 85% accurate.

If you have a request for approved accommodations, please contact the Access and Accommodations Center at Georgia State (AACE) for human captioning. AACE is designated to determine reasonable disability-related accommodations, which may include in-time transcription for Webex sessions. A student’s access to approved accommodations is a right under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act (2008) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Accommodations provide students with an equal opportunity to access the academic environment. Please contact AACE if you need assistance in implementing accommodations for your in-person, blended, or online courses.

In-classroom lecture simulcasting and recording will vary depending on the software application utilized and the type of the camera and microphone available in the classroom.

Hardware: All SPH classrooms currently have either a wall mounted camera and/or a webcam on the desktop. A wall mounted camera will capture the front of the classroom, a webcam on the computer will capture the instructor sitting or standing in front of the computer. All SPH classrooms in Urban Life and Petit Science Center will have high-quality microphones attached to the desk to capture lectures.

Software: All SPH classrooms have lecture recording application available, namely Webex/Kaltura. Webex allows for simulcasting (life streaming) and recording of lectures, while Kaltura only allows for recording of lectures to be shared with students through iCollege. Simulcasting will allow students to attend classes while being present in the classroom or at a distance, thereby offering flexibility for social distancing. Both applications will capture the computer screen and PowerPoint slides with audio, and the wall or webcam video recording. Machine captioning is available for the recordings in both Kaltura and Webex.

Both applications will capture and record the desktop (slide or website being shared), audio, and the image in front of the camera. Here is the description and the link to instruction for each software option:

• Webex allows the instructor to simulcast the lecture in a webinar style, where live student could participation through video/audio/chat. The instructor could also record and later share/post the lecture. Closed-caption is available for recordings but live captioning is not available with the Georgia State University subscription.  Instructions for Recording with Webex
• Zoom is not supported by Georgia State University, but you may use it instead of Webex if you have an account.  Here are mini tutorials for getting started with Zoom and facilitating breakout sessions.
• Kaltura allows the instructor to record and post the lecture in iCollege. Kaltura does not have a live streaming option. Instructors will be prompted to download the Kaltura application in their profile when they log-in to the classroom computer for the first time.  An administrative password is not needed to download the application. Machine closed captioning is available for the recordings. Instructions for Recording with Kaltura
