Video Accessibility: Penn State Demonstrates Its Automated Captioning Solution3Play Media
July 13, 2012
Captions are text that is time-sychronized with the media. They convey all spoken content as well as relevant sound effects. Captions originated in the early 1980s from an FCC mandate for broadcast TV.
The 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act requires all Internet programming that previously aired on television with captions to have captions online, as well.
The values of captioning include:
- Accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing
- Accessibility for ESL viewers
- Flexibility to view anywhere, such as noisy environments or offices
- Search
- Reusability
- Navigation, better UX
- SEO/discoverability
- Used as source for translation
Penn State has 55 online courses. They have an increasing need for accommodation in online education. Here is Penn's accommodation process:
1. Student discloses request of accommodation to ODS office
2. If qualified, student receives accommodation letter from ODS
3. Student submits letter to instructor including types of accommodation needed
4. Instructor informs the learning designer of accommodation needed
5. Learning designer coordinates effort to implement accommodation
Penn State had many challenges to overcome when developing a captioning solution for video content. For a full demonstration of how they overcome these difficulties and found their solution with 3Play Media, watch the slideshow!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

80. Streaming video has become a common vehicle
for content delivery in academic libraries.
Regardless of Carnegie classification libraries
have primary funding, operational, and decision-
making roles in providing streaming video content
to their institution.
Libraries prefer, and for the most part provide, title
level access to streaming videos in their

BUT, video remains an outlier in the day-to-day
treatment of content in academic libraries.
Catalog records for streaming videos depend
largely on vendors providing the records or
metadata.
81. There is no dominant model for acquisition of

Editor's Notes
CCUMC Preconference workshop
We appreciate the generous donations of these incentives from NMM, Charleston Con and CCUMC
ARL
91% and 9%
7. Approximately how many titles are in your physical video collection?(Numbers only, no commas. If none, enter 0.)
Differences by Carnegie class and by enrollment: Doc instit. Have the largest collections, Bac and Assoc have about the same #
Institutions are not buying blu-ray
Clearly see that DVD has outstripped VHS in collection size
IN THE AGGREGATE tho: 1,100,000 VHS / 1,500,000 DVDs
We asked about size of streaming collections as we asked about licensing models, but the data didn’t come in in a way that we thought was useable.
11. Who selects physical copy video for your collection? Check all that apply.
This slide reflect answers in order that possible answers were presented.
Check all that apply
Error in questions in that we did not ask if there is a media librarian in the institution.
Should have provided more options, such as director/administrator for those smaller libraries. Include Reference/Reserve in Subject librarians and acquisitions should include collection development librarians….again terminology differs at the institutions. When we added those responses, the percentages increased slightly, but at the same ratio
Media funding in general
Separate questions for physical and streaming
And separate library and institutional funding as it relates to streaming
A series of questions about collections, and licensing
These questions refer to some of the largest and best known streaming video collections. This list is not exhaustive.
Some of these collections are available for either subscription or one-time purchase/license in perpetuity.
Separate questions address subscription to and purchase of these collections.
28. Has your library or institution purchased / licensed in perpetuity streaming video collections from any of these providers? Check all that apply.
58% have NOT purchased collection in perpetuity
No surprises. Differences in licensing models. Doctoral institutions more likely to have purchased collections.
32. Does your library digitize and stream VHS or DVD titles from your collection on request of faculty?
Note that we specified from the Library’s collection. Does not mean that service is not available elsewhere on campus.
By Carnegie classification, significant changes….becomes less of a difference as you go from Assoc 77% No to 19% Yes --- to Doc. Doctorate is 58/40.
Prefer not to answer in all carngegie classes
We don’t know why
35. Does your library have written policy statements on digitization for streaming?
This appears to be an area that is severely lacking in library policies
Results limited to those that stream.
In the aggregate…. (336 responses) Including those who stream and those who do not…. Yes: 16% NO 84%
BUT if we look at who digitizes and streams on request, vs those that do not…..
36. Whether or not you have written policies, do you rely on or refer to any of these documents to guide your local practice? Check all that apply.
We could have asked if they were aware of these documents….
There are go to documents for librarians. We have provided links to these documents at the end of this session. In the other category, included Canadian Copyright Policy, legal counsel and local policy.
24. Which unit(s) in your institution provide technical infrastructure for streaming video? Check all that apply.
An ALL that APPLY response
Filtered by institutions that stream. In Other over half the responses say it’s IT and Library merged together 9%
Compare to next slide
41. How are your streaming videos hosted? Check all that apply.
Explained that These questions address how your library and/or institution hosts and serves your streaming videos.
In some institutions hosting is provided by both the library and another unit.
These functions may be performed by various personnel throughout your library.
This question addresses library personnel only. If these processes are performed solely by IT or another unit in your institution, select Unknown/NA.
We’ve also moved into this section of the presentation a question asked during the licensing models portion of the survey
Documents work knowing
We referred to them earlier when we asked what documents guide local practice.
