Quality captions provide a text version of any verbal content within your digital content for people in your audience who are deaf or who may be language learners. *If you would like to have your course videos proactively professionally captioned so they will be more inclusive for all students, please take advantage of our Course Caption Grant, available to all Wake Forest faculty members.
