Closed Captioning Instructions for Student Workers

Federal guidelines require that all videos posted to Learning Management Systems be closed captioned for accessibility. Student workers are helping instructors by adding the closed captions to their video lectures. Follow the instructions below to complete the process.

Find Videos That Need Closed Captioning

In a Guest or Incognito Window of your web browser:

Navigate to docs.google.com
Log in with the username cc.lecture. Call Support Central at 405-425-5555 fro the password for the account.
Open the file called "Closed Captioning Tracking."
A list of videos that are available will appear. Choose the next available video in the list and put your name in the "Checked Out By:" field to let others know that you are working on this video.

Find Video On YouTube Studio

In a new browser tab in the same window as above:

Navigate to studio.youtube.com
If prompted, log in with the username cc.lecture.
Click Videos.
Click on the picture of the video you want to upload

Add Closed Captions

Click on Subtitles
Click on Published to open

Edit Captions

Click on Edit.
In the transcript, read through (and listen as needed) to add punctuation and capitalization. You may need to edit the text to reflect the words spoken. However, you should not edit out words that were said. So, if an instructor repeats themselves or says Um, you'll need to leave those words in the transcript.

If you have to quit editing before you have finished, please save your progress and then make a note in the Closed Captioning Tracking spreadsheet with the timestamp of the place where you stopped. Example: 48:27.
