If you are using YouTube video in your courses, it is imperative to add captions:
Captioning improves comprehension for all viewers, especially for those with English as a second language.
Compliance with ADA and other Human Rights legislation indicates that all broadcast or distributed video content be captioned.
Captioning is a key element of Universal Design for video material, especially for educational material.
These automatic captions are not perfect. Several factors determine the accuracy of speech recognition technology,
such as articulation and sound quality. If the video is yours, YouTube does provide a means for editing those captions.

If you are planning on embedding YouTube video into Blackboard, you will need to enable the option to display captions.
YouTube provides speech recognition technology to automatically make captions available.

If you are planning on embedding YouTube video into Blackboard, you will need to enable the option to display captions.
Go to YouTube, bring up your video. Click the share link and copy the embed code. You can also choose from a list of
Video sizes.
Next, you will need to go into Blackboard, create an item, and paste that embed code using the HTML editor tool:
<iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jZhRf2fxlyw?rel=0&cc_load_policy=1″ frameborder=”0″ width=”560″ height=”315″></iframe>
Finally, to add the CC button so viewers can turn on captions you will need to add a bit of code to the end of the url for
the video source (as depicted in the image above): ?rel=0&cc_load_policy=1
That bit of code is what is missing by default. I do not know why YouTube makes us manually add this code, but as of
now they do.
?rel=0&cc_load_policy=1
