Online Accessibility Week Daily Tip: Captioning Video Content

May 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment

We are celebrating Online Accessibility Awareness Week here at SCC, May 26-29. The Faculty Learning Community – Making Online Course Content Accessible – has put together daily tips!

Today’s Tip: Captioning Video Content

We’ve been reading lately about universities such as MIT and Harvard being sued for lack of video captioning. While captioning is absolutely necessary for those who are hard-of-hearing, captions are also incredibly helpful for English language learners. A recent study found that 80% of viewers that use captions are in fact not deaf or hard of hearing, but simply prefer captioned content. Closed captions can improve video comprehension for all viewers, and as we use more video content in our courses, captioning becomes more important. We are taking a proactive approach here at Shoreline, where faculty were surveyed this year about the types of video content they are using for learning activities. While faculty are welcome to provide their own video captioning, eLearning is here to help. Unlike many other colleges, we have set aside funds specifically for captioning instructional video content. Do you have videos that you use on a regular basis that need captioning? Contact Amy Rovner (arovner@shoreline.edu) or Stephanie Diemel (sdiemel@shoreline.edu).

If you did not complete a survey, you can do it now.

If you want to learn more, join us for our last Lunchtime Training Session on campus – next Friday, June 5.   We will have pizza and snacks to fuel your brain!

5 Steps to Accessible Syllabi Training
Friday, JUNE 5 1:30-3:00pm, Room 2926

If you cannot attend this on campus training, you can view a recorded version of it  from a webinar we did yesterday for the SBCTC Ignis Webinars.

Thank you for your support of this important effort for student success!

SCC Head Baseball Coach Travis Fox Resigns, Coach Dave Snell Steps Up to Bat

May 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline Community College Athletic Director Steve Eskridge has announced the resignation of Head Baseball Coach Travis Fox. Fox resigned yesterday to take a full-time position at Microsoft. Fox has been a part of the Shoreline Community College baseball program for the past four years serving as the Head Coach for the past two seasons. In his final season at Shoreline, Fox led the team to their first playoff appearance since 1979.

“We wish Travis the very best in his new position,” said Eskridge. “Travis has had a big impact on our baseball team and we are looking forward to the baseball program’s continued success.”

Shoreline will turn to a familiar face to take over the baseball program as Associate Head Coach Dave Snell has been named the next Head Coach of Dolphins Baseball. Snell has been a member of the coaching staff for the past four years as the Associate Head Coach and Pitching Coach. Snell, a Shoreline resident and former Ingraham High School star, brings years of coaching and playing experience to the position. As a player Snell was drafted by the San Francisco Giants and spent time with the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners organizations. Snell founded the Seattle Select Baseball program in 2005.

“We are excited to announce Dave Snell as the next Head Coach of our baseball program,” said Eskridge. “Dave already knows what it means to be a Dolphin and his years of experience in baseball make him the perfect choice to build on the historic 2015 season.”

For any inquiries regarding the baseball program you can reach Coach Snell via email at dsnell@shoreline.edu or in his office at 206-533-6742.
