Accessible Moodle (implementation guide)
The implementation aid Moodle barrier-free serves as support for the Moodle barrier-free checklist. The order of the aspects and the structure according to categories are the same.
Under the heading "What is meant by this? " you will find a detailed description of the aspect to be ticked off. The section "Why is it important?" describes which barriers you are removing with the respective aspect and for which groups of people this is essential. Finally, under the heading "How can I implement/check this?" you will find detailed instructions on how to implement or check the respective aspect.
7. Video and audio
7.5. Transcripts
Embedded audio clips have a transcript (as text on the page or in a separate document or on an external website).
What is meant by this?
A transcript is a written recording or text document that reproduces the content of a spoken audio or video. It contains the full text of the spoken words in order to make the content accessible to all recipients.
The transcript can be displayed as text in the Moodle course itself, in the notes, in a separate document or as a link to an external website. The transcript contains the full text of the audio clip so that recipients who prefer to absorb the content visually can read and understand it.
Why is it important?
Recipients who prefer to record auditory content visually, cannot hear or listen at the time of reception, do not have an audio output, whose native language is not German or who wish to copy or search the content of the audio clip benefit from a transcript. The transcript enables these recipients to understand and access the content of the audio clip, regardless of their hearing ability, language skills or the availability of an audio output.
How can I implement/check it?
There are various ways to create transcripts. In addition to the manual method, there are also specialized software solutions that support the transcription of audio and video recordings. These can simplify the frequent correction processes, navigation in the recording and adherence to formal transcription rules.
"Express Scribe" is a free digital transcription player that allows you to configure the audio playback speed to match your typing skills. With "f4" you can also conveniently put audio recordings on paper. The tool has a return interval so that you can hear the previously heard seconds of the recording again when you pause. The interval can be adjusted manually. The finished transcript can be provided as text in the Moodle course itself, in the notes, in a separate document or as a link to an external website.
