DECO has two representatives who serve on the DEETAC board.

25:05
Has DECO taken any position on this proposed change?

25:36
Susan Johnson, Compton College

25:46
The DECO reps on DEETAC support the change

25:57
Good to know Lisa, thanks

26:00
So do the ASCCC reps

26:11
Lisa is one of our DECO reps at DEETAC.

26:52
I am the other

30:24
Good News

30:50
Yes!

30:57
Ally funding?

31:42
Erin- Do you know if the Chancellors office will be doing DE surveys this year?

32:24
What’s the deadline for spending the HEERF $?

32:29
Ally is one of the tools we are evaluating for statewide support for next year so there is no decision yet.

33:13
@Kandace end of September 2023

33:46
@Jory The accessibility position that our district is creating that is posted to the VRC DE Coordinators community explicitly supports our local POCR program as a first priority.

33:55
@Heather - No, the Chancellor's Office does not plan on running the DE student or faculty surveys at this time.

33:59
😬thanks, @Jim . . . really, I was paying attention—too many details

34:16
@Erin-Thank you!

35:07
@Erin do you think the CO will ever restart systemwide faculty and/or student DE surveys? Or would you recommend that colleges independently do that going forward?

36:03
Self-install instructions available at: https://cvc.edu/exchange/it/

38:06
@Jim - I am hopeful that we do some statewide DE surveys in the future. Ed Services is building a research team, so I hope to get in their queue.

39:31
Thanks, Erin, that’s promising. I think a lot of us have relied on those surveys to give us longitudinal and comparison data … and also to help fulfill accreditation expectations regarding regular evaluation of DE … so it’s hard to be in limbo with those.

39:33
Thanks, Jory

39:46
Thanks Jory!

40:02
It’s my pleasure. This is such a terrific group!

40:37
Agree, @Jim! I’m also hoping for some guidance for how to manage college data at the course level when coding during the pandemic was . . . inconsistent

42:30
@ Jim- I agree as well!

45:37
I thought the new standard was WCAG version 2.1 level AA.

46:57
Are users with disabilities part of the National Digital Access Team?

47:41
Good questions! We will bring to her attention when she pauses or at conclusion.

48:30
What tools does the OCR use to evaluate websites for accessibility?

49:00
Does Ava have a recommendation for handling a situation where an instructor is using a governmental website or document as a learning tool but the resource isn’t accessible?

54:12
Does OCR hold the vendor responsible for accessibility barriers in its product when the institution does not have control over removing the barrier?

55:01
Thank You Very Much for saying that

56:19
I always thought auto captions on YouTube did not meet accessibility standards.

56:46
@Jennifer I believe she meant the navigational aspect was more accessible, not that the video itself was.

57:03
@Helen, thanks!

59:39
@Helen, I understood the statement in the same way

59:56
Regarding auto-captioning, I think it’s also important to note that she keeps saying OCR doesn’t hold to a strict standard (508/WCAG) - so the issue might arise if it was clear that auto captioning for a particular case was not providing equally effective access - but from the OCR perspective, use of auto-captioning doesn’t automatically equal accessibility non-compliance

01:00:21
equally effective alternate access plans

01:01:52
Related to alternative access: Would being in process of updating course materials be the same as a website. meaning a faulty member has a note in syllabus or identified a plan for updating the course materials.

01:02:27
just attended training on the process to determine fundamental alteration. Very specific expansive, time intensive process that should be followed in order to make a case.

01:06:29
Thank you SO much!!!

01:06:42
Awesome!

01:06:46
It was very helpful, thank you!

01:08:13
Thank you!!

01:09:20
The new version of Adobe Premiere has a captioning functionality, for you editors out there.

01:09:40
you may want to refer to the Harvard and MIT settlements regarding auto-captioning

01:09:42
Is there a threshold for meeting compliance on captions, what would be appropriate level of accuracy?

01:09:45
I am hearing that you need to correct your auto captions.

01:09:52
OCR is only one aspect of accessibility “compliance” though...

01:10:03
Their standards are not the only standards.

01:10:33
It also sounds like no service provides auto captions that are perfect.

01:10:47
What counts for being “on notice”?

01:11:34
What if the institution did not contract with the non-compliant vendor--the faculty member did? Faculty can require students to purchase access codes for electronic platforms without an institutional contract.

01:11:58
Great Session

01:11:59
Ava referred to colleges being liable based on “contract” rather than vendors. Does that apply for inaccessible commercial textbooks instructors choose? No formal contract but publisher is “vendor”…

01:12:02
Thank you

01:12:23
Thank you!

01:12:24
Thank you so much!

01:12:25
Thank you!

01:12:26
Excellent discussion today! Thank you :)

01:12:27
Thank you!

01:12:29
Thank you, Ava!

01:12:29
Thank you!

01:12:30
Thank you!

01:12:32
Thank you!

01:12:32
Thanks!

01:12:35
Regarding "converting to accessible PDF", check the process that is appropriate for the product being used, i.e., Google Docs are different than documents from Word, etc.

01:12:37
Thank you Ava!

01:12:39
Than you!

01:12:39
Thank you all

01:12:39
Thanks!

01:12:40
Thanks!

01:12:46
Thanks. Very informative.

01:13:16
Done! :-D
