Case Study: Johns Hopkins University enhances learning with captions and transcripts from 3Play Media

Johns Hopkins University manages 5,700 videos with 3Play Media captions and transcripts

Johns Hopkins University's Graduate School of Engineering, a large online graduate program, faced the challenge of efficiently providing closed captions and transcripts for its extensive and growing video lecture library, doing so primarily by student or faculty request. They partnered with the vendor 3Play Media for captioning and transcription services to meet accessibility needs and enhance the learning experience.

The solution implemented with 3Play Media streamlined the captioning workflow, allowing instructional staff to submit videos for professional captioning a week before classes. This provided students with synchronized captions and downloadable transcripts. The results extended beyond accessibility compliance, improving comprehension for English language learners, enabling study aids, and preparing the institution for future mandatory captioning regulations, all facilitated by 3Play Media's service.
