CATS 2008 - Day 3 Closing Session(s)
By msmith - 4/2/2008 If you missed day 3, you really blew it. I was one of many people who had low expectations for the festivities. Boy, was I surprised. My own experience, which I heard expressed by others, was that this was the most valuable day of CATS 2008. The networking was excellent and will continue to be valuable to me at my campus, I'm sure.
CATS 2008 Day 2 session: Camtasia vs. Captivate Smack Down
By pdifalco - 3/29/2008 Patrick Crispin has created an evaluation rubric to pit these two worthy competitors against each other, specifically Adobe Captivate 3 vs. Techsmith Camtasia 5 (newer than what we’re using in TLP). His matrix weights ease of editing very highly (appropriately, I think) but gives nearly equal weight to ease of recording and captioning.
CATS Day 2 Session: Flash Video Captioning (pt2)
By pdifalco - 3/29/2008 Presenter: Joel Bennett (CDL) One possible workflow for creating captioned flash videos for the web: 1. ExpressScribe (free mac/pc) to help create transcription - need audio file version of video 2. Captionate software to create synchronization file (DXFP format XML) 3. Flash 8 to integrate FLV, SWF, XML for progressive download video with captions on 2-line lower third - this uses some ActionScript cut/pasting. Joel Bennett will provide the script with his presentation.

CalWac2 Notes: Testing for Accessibility
By kristin - 4/25/2007 - Category: accessibility By Jim Thatcher. Presentation slides: http://jimthatcher.com/knowbility/testing0906.html. The most important message I got from this presentation is that accessibility testing is a multi-dimensional process. You can’t assume your site is accessible by running it through an automated check. Human testing is also required.
