Academic Video Online streaming media database now offers a free audio description service. Audio description uses recorded narration to describe what is happening in a video. This helps users with visual disabilities as well as anyone who would benefit from audio descriptions. If you would like to request audio descriptions for an Academic Video Online video, contact a librarian at reference@chemeketa.edu or 503.399.5231. This service is available to Chemeketa students and employees. Audio descriptions are added within two weeks of the request. It is a free service. Some restrictions may apply.
For more information about this service and how it can help students participate in class, please see the Center for Academic Innovation's blog post New Resource: Free Audio Description from Academic Video Online.
