SOLE Spotlight | Panopto Recordings and Closed Captioning | July 2021
Now that many of us have transitioned to teaching online and are reusing our recorded class lectures, the Provost Office wants us to keep in high priority adding Closed Captioning.

As an institution of public accommodation, WVU has a responsibility to ensure that its programming is accessible for individuals with disabilities.
