Academic Video service to UNL campus:

The UNL Academic Video service is available to instructors and students at UNL. 

Video captioning service for UNL Campus: 

• Professional Closed captioning is currently available  for individual students of need as determined by the Office of Student Disabilities. To request captioning under these guidelines, please contact Barbara Woodhead (bwoodhead1@unl.edu) at the Service for Students with Disabilities office.We hope to gauge user needs to determine if the proper resources to serve all faculty will be available at the end of Fall semester 2018 and if not, to allocate more resources as necessary. It is our desire to allow all faculty to professionally caption their videos with this service in the near future.
  
  Video recorded in General Purpose lecture halls using our Automated Lecture Capture service will also be captioned.
