Accessible Video (implementation guide)
The Video Accessibility Implementation Guide serves as support for the Video Accessibility Checklist. The order of the aspects and the structure according to categories are the same.
Each aspect is divided into three sections in the implementation guide:
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.
2. Video track
2.8. Sign language
The integration of sign language is possible.
What is meant by this?
It must be possible to use sign language in videos. This means that one or more sign language interpreters translate the spoken content into sign language and communicate in front of the camera.
Why is it important?
The integration of sign language is important to give staff, people who use German Sign Language (DGS), approval of information and content in digital educational videos. Sign language is the primary or preferred form of communication for many staff, people with hearing impairments. Through the integration of sign language, these staff, people are able to better understand the content of the videos and participate fully.
How can I implement/check it?
You can either integrate sign language directly via the video playback tool or leave space in the image during planning and admission so that sign language speakers can be added to the video later.
