[blindLaw] ABA CLE Verification Codes

Mon Jan 31 16:55:41 UTC 2022

What is ABA doing to automate this so that any code displayed via video always has an audio and/or text equivalent in the browser?  I was under the impression that the displayed code was added by the video platform afterward, not part of the actual presenters or original broadcast.  I haven't seen enough of these with codes to know if it is a common practice.

To Tim's point about the ABA courses, I did a few of them in 2020 and was not able to access the verification codes. I e-mailed the moderator after the program, told them the situation and was sent the course certificate immediately after I completed the course evaluation. It would be better if they fixed the accessibility issue, but they were completely willing to work with me to get the credit.

The cost was $60, and you can complete them on-line. A 3 digit code is spoken twice during each 1 hour presentation, and you enter this code when the video finishes. I can send you their contact info if you are interested.
