From the abstract
This article provides a case for the benefits of captioning recorded lecture content in the Australian higher education sector. Online lecture captioning has traditionally been provided on a case-by-case basis to help students who are deaf or hard of hearing. This paper argues for a mainstream approach to benefit students both with and without disability.
A literature review highlights the benefits of captioning to a wide range of students and the perceived barriers to captioning. The increasing internationalisation of the university context has an affect on captioning options, both culturally and commercially. The paper concludes that all recorded lecture content will need to be captioned in the future.
