Webinar:  "Do It Yourself" Educational Description: Guidelines and Tools



Join us for a free, forward-looking webinar on the changing world of
educational video description on October 24, 2012. This innovative webinar
is presented by the Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP), in
collaboration with the Video Description Research and Development Center
(VDRDC), and the Description Leadership Network (DLN). Register now at
http://webinars.dcmp.org/.



This exciting and interactive presentation is perfect for teachers,
administrators, and parents who want to learn about the latest developments
in video description technology and how it can help students who are blind
and visually impaired in educational settings.



Topics include:



*             Live demonstrations of two FREE software programs which can be
used to add description to media.

*             The "Dos and Don'ts" of description.

*             An update of the activities of the VDRDC.

*             An overview of resources for obtaining described materials for
use in the classroom.



The Video Description Research and Development Center (VDRDC), administered
by The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, is a two-year project with
the mission to develop new technologies and techniques for the annotation of
online video content and improving video accessibility for students who are
blind or visually impaired. The VDRDC is funded by the Department of
Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), grant number
H327J110005.



This webinar is the second in a series of four to be presented during the
two-year project. An archived copy of the first webinar, Bringing Video
Description Into the 21st Century, is available on the registration page.
