Captioned Videos

Requesting video captioning

To request video captioning, please contact the Adaptive Technology Centre at adaptive.technology.centre@queensu.ca. Video captioning is only available for library materials. Video captioning may require substantial preparation time. Please submit your requests in advance of the semester you require this service.

Requesting Library Materials in Alternate Formats

Student, staff, faculty, and community members with a print disability may request print library materials in alternate format, if they have a print disability. Staff will send the request for digitization through the ACE repository.

Accessible Content E-Portal (ACE) is a repository of accessible format texts available to users with print disabilities at participating Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) institutions. 

Requesting Course Materials in Alternate Formats

This service is coordinated by the Assistant to the Coordinator of the Adaptive Technology Centre. Requests can be made at any point in the semester, but it is recommended that you contact the Senior Assistant 4-6 weeks before the semester in which the alternate format is required. 

Please provide course codes, section numbers, names of instructors (if known), and preferred text formats when you contact us.

Copyright & Remote Instruction

Pedagogical and technical issues may make the shift from in-person to remote instruction a challenge but copyright concerns should not be a significant barrier!

Key points to remember

  1. Most of the legal issues are the same whether the teaching is done in person or online. 

  2. If it was allowable in class, it is often allowable online – especially when your online access is limited to the same enrolled students.
