A closed captioning decoder is needed to display the usually hidden captions.
Most buildings now have CC-equipped monitors.
Decoders can be borrowed from Media Services with advance notice. Lecture halls using overhead video projectors are being retro-fitted with CC decoders. Instructors should consider always using open-captions when showing videos with this support. Research indicates that many students benefit from seeing the text because it serves as an aid to memory. This is especially helpful for students who rely most heavily on their vision for learning, and students who have learning disabilities.
