Captioning & Transcription Services & UT
As a content creator or owner it’s your responsibility to to ensure that the materials you provide as part of your course as accessible to every student in your “audience”.
Specifically, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires all media used or purchased by public agencies receiving federal/state funds be accessible. This also applies to online videos. Not only does captioning videos ensure UT is in compliance with federal legislation, it also ensures that everyone has access to the content.

Zoom VS BigBlueButton
Which One Should You Use?
Zoom and BigBlueButton are both “video conferencing” tools, and they have a lot in common. But, they also have some important differences. And deciding which one you should use will depend in large part on what exactly you want to do.
Getting Started with Zoom & BigBlueButton
Do you ever have guest lecturers who can’t make it to campus, or want to conduct online interviews or “virtual office hours”?
Do you need to record a lecture or short video that you can share with students later on? Is inclement weather preventing you (or your students) from coming to campus?
Or maybe you’d like to let students work together in a virtual space that doesn’t require them being in the same room?
Well, luckily, there are two FREE tools available to you to let you do all that and more.
