[Eril-l] Streaming video platforms for single titles

[Elizabeth Henry]

Don't forget to think about accessibility - especially in regards to
captions/subtitles.  What is the quality of the captions/subtitles for
each?

Kanopy provides captions - if the video does not have captions, then they
have a quick turnaround response time with captioning, and they provide
options to make the captions bigger, smaller, different color, etc., which
is great for those with different visual needs.

We once had an Alexander Street subscription for a collection, but we
dropped it cuz they only provided transcripts, which our students didn't
like.

Best,
Elizabeth
