Ben Labrum & Lily Bond will cover the legal requirements for making training video accessible, the benefits of captioning, and how to get started with captioning.

Ben will discuss how Oracle uses video in training, why they decided to caption, and the impact of captioning and transcription on engagement.

In 2011, Ben was central to introducing a successful video-based training product which leverages transcription to enable captions and search.

Since then, Oracle University’s digital learning curriculum has exploded.  It is now a multi-million dollar business providing Oracle customers with almost 1000 active courses and learning subscriptions containing about 60,000 transcripts.

Topics include:

• Legal requirements for captioning training videos
• Benefits of captioning training videos
• Actionable tips for getting started with captioning
• How Oracle uses video for training
• Why Oracle decided to caption training videos
• Oracle’s workflow for captioning and transcription
• How captioning their training videos improved engagement
• How captions and transcripts improve learning and comprehension

Ben & Lily are looking forward to sharing insights he has gained building and managing an operation of this scale.
