Test Your Understanding: Hearing-Related Disabilities

You have prepared a lecture on the species of birds in a particular region. One portion of your lecture is presented via an audio tape that delivers a short summary of the bird's habitat, feeding activities (and alternating between a male and female voice), and a sample of the bird's call.

To ensure that your Web-delivered lesson is accessible to the student with hearing disabilities, what is the least you can do?

1. Provide all material in an audio file.

2. Provide an auxiliary text file of any content delivered by audio.

Check your answer.

 

There are two main ways to ensure that an audio file is accessible. Which of the following describes these two methods?

1. A transcript that contains the verbatim content of the audio file, linked to the page with the audio file; a caption of the text in the audio file that appears in the audio file.

2. Add extra video to the audio file that shows what is being talked about; add an extra portion in audio that reinforces the content in the first audio.

Check your answer.
