DCMP's AI Scene Description Tool
DCMP operates the nation’s largest fully-accessible educational video platform, with a library of 18,000 videos designed for use by early learner through Grade 12 students with disabilities. Our development team has been working on ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help with accessibility challenges, including those that might be considered “impossible.” We’re excited to present “AI Scene Description,” a new tool for students who are blind and have low vision that can describe the visual elements of any frame within a paused video.

How to Share a DCMP Video in Zoom
Teachers can use video conferencing apps like Zoom to share DCMP videos with students. Sharing DCMP videos in Zoom appears to work fine on Apple computers, but some Zoom users report issues with Windows. While we recommend creating Student Accounts for reliability, we have found a solution that may work if you are using the Chrome browser in Windows.

How to Embed DCMP Videos
DCMP videos can be embedded in any secure web page or learning management system (LMS) that accepts HTML embed code and has a valid TLS/SSL certificate. If you see a "padlock" symbol in the address bar while using your website/LMS, this indicates the site is secure, and should work with DCMP video embeds.

DCMP Implements New Player-Based Captions and Description
To ensure that all media in DCMP's video library is always accessible, captions have been "burned in" or "open," meaning the captions are physically part of the video. Likewise, audio description has been added to each video's main soundtrack. Beginning in April, 2020, captions and description began transitioning to "player-based," meaning that these accessibility features are comprised of separate tracks that can be toggled on and off by the viewer. To continue DCMP's commitment to ensuring each viewing of every video is accessible, at least one accessibility feature will always remain on. All new content will have player-based accessibility upon release, and existing content will gradually switch to player-based as we quality check each one to ensure proper functionality.
