AI and Video Resources Accessibility in Higher Education: A Private Hispanic-serving University Experience

Online learning has become an increasingly dominant teaching approach in Higher Education, especially during and even after the Covid-19 pandemic, more students with diverse backgrounds are expected to attend online learning, there has been an urgency for ensuring online learning resources accessibility. Video as media resources have been commonly used in all classes for different purposes. Captioning and transcriptions are the two main methods to ensure students’ equitable access to video resources, while not all universities are able to caption all their video resources. With the consideration of the recent advancement of Artificial Intelligence, this paper discusses potential solutions for the challenges on ensuring video resources accessibility based on experiences from a small and private Hispanic-Serving (teaching) university, we hope to provide some insights to address the online learning resources accessibility and further contribute to equitable access among students in Higher Education.
