Captions offer an additional\, flexible way to access that information—supporting  those in noisy spaces\, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing\, English language learners\, and anyone who simply  prefer to access information through text . In this Sparkshop\, you’ll learn what captions are\, explore captioning requirements\, and practice editing captions in Kaltura. \nREGISTER FOR SPARKSHOP CONNECTION INFORMATION \nYou only need to register once for any one Sparkshop as the connection information is the same for all Sparkshops. \nAbout Sparkshops:\nSparkshops are 15 minute mini-workshops\, facilitated by CFE staff.  Sparkshops are meant to start exploration of a chosen topic with continued support from the CFE as requested. \nEach Sparkshop provides: \n\nAn introduction or re-imagined approach to an evidence-based teaching practice\, or productivity strategy\nPotential reasons faculty or staff might incorporate the practice in their course(s) or work flow\nExamples of how the practice can be implemented\nResources for further investigation of the practice\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT SPARKSHOPS \nChange One Thing Program:\nAttending Sparkshops adds to your eligibility to receive the “Change One Thing” Certificate. \nTo earn the certificate\, participants will:✔ Attend at least three sparkshops\, workshops (e.g.\, Integrating AI Into Your Teaching sessions) or other learning opportunities offered by the Center for Faculty Excellence.✔ Implement a small but impactful change in one of their courses.✔ Submit a brief reflection on the change and its anticipated or observed impact. \nLEARN MORE ABOUT THE CHANGE ONE THING CERTIFICATE \nLocation\nVirtual – register for connection information. \nAudience\nAll Faculty URL:https://www.pnw.edu/center-faculty-excellence/event/sparkshop-accessibility-captions-for-flexible-access-2/ CATEGORIES:Center for Faculty Excellence,University Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260702T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260702T140000 DTSTAMP:20260618T112800 CREATED:20260504T183924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260504T185241Z UID:10002687-1782993600-1783000800@www.pnw.edu SUMMARY:Work Sprint DESCRIPTION:Do you need to set aside time to work on your research?
