ADA Title II Compliance for Education
ADA Title II mandates that public education institutions make their digital content accessible, using WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the required technical standard. To meet these requirements, your video content must include:
- Captions: All synchronized media with audio (including dialogue and important sound effects) must have captions. For live videos, this requires real-time captions.
- Transcription: A full text transcript of the video’s audio, including speaker identifications and descriptions of relevant non-speech sounds, must be provided.
- Audio Description: If a video contains important visual information not conveyed through the audio, an audio description track must be provided.
- Media Player Controls: The video player itself must be accessible and operable by a keyboard, with clear controls to pause, play, adjust volume, and turn captions and audio descriptions on or off.
By providing captioning, transcription, audio description, and an accessible media player, 3Play Media is your all-in-one partner for achieving and maintaining ADA compliance.
