Yes!  Eduvision enables you to assemble your board members through Zoom or other virtual meeting applications when they cannot meet in the same location.  When in the same place, you can stream directly through Eduvision. We use a world-class content delivery network, and your meeting is available on any device from Apple, Google, or Microsoft.

Your live broadcast will include TV-quality captions and moderated interactions with your viewers.  Optionally, you can translate your captions to over 100 languages.

You can also simulcast your board meeting with live captions to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter/X.

We have many schools that broadcast daily news — schedule opening day announcements for the entire school year with just one quick, straightforward setup.  We make it even better with Eduvision Premiere, which provides you with custom templates for your news introduction, pledge of allegiance and silence, and ending.  Once this easy setup is done once, all you need to do is to upload your news content and we’ll automatically insert your latest into your news broadcast, which will be aired on your pre-determined schedule.

It is easy to broadcast – a simple download of our free Eduvision Live App on your mobile phone, iPad, or other tablets supports live streaming with one click to start and one click to stop.

The announcement is distributed to the classrooms, auto-saved in the cloud, and placed in the teacher’s channel, safely and securely. The video can be set to private and only be accessed with a direct link and can also be password protected.

Simply upload your content, as easy as making an attachment to your email.  It could be unique content from your instructors or content from other sources. Eduvision supports unlimited channels and sub-channels. The Channel Manager approves all content uploaded, so nothing goes online until its reviewed.

Use our automated closed caption service with “one-click,” and you are good to go. One more “click,” and you can add translation to other languages. Select public, private, or add a password for access. You can also select available “from” and “to” dates and times, add registration or quizzes, and add associated documents, PDFs, etc.

Your Eduvision portal also supports Learning Technology Integration (LTI) and can provide your video and quiz results to be accessed from your Learning Management System. 

You have the freedom to create an unlimited number of channels, users, and content on Eduvision. Whether you want to organize your channels by topics, instructors, or even have sub-channels for student content, the flexibility is yours.

Additionally, ensuring accessibility compliance is a breeze as you can effortlessly add closed captions and translations to your video content, meeting legal requirements in a cost-effective manner.

Section 508, an amendment to the United States Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, is a federal law mandating that all electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by the federal government or agencies and schools funded by the government, be accessible to people with disabilities. The law requires Federally funded agencies and schools to make their Electronic Information Technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities.  This brought closed captions to television.

Since January 2018, the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) an international standards organization, took over the Office of Civil Rights Section 508 with the updated Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG establishes clear guidelines for compliance. The American Disabilities Act (ADA) had no provisions for technology, so the new WCAG guideline was updated to the Rehabilitation Act. More accessibility information is available here.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations; but will not address every user need for people with these disabilities. These guidelines address the accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Following these guidelines will also often make Web content more usable to users in general.

WCAG 2.1 success criteria are written as testable statements that are not technology-specific. Guidance about satisfying the success criteria in specific technologies, as well as general information about interpreting the success criteria, is provided in separate documents. See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview for an introduction and links to WCAG technical and educational material.

Eduvision provides Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (WCAG 2.1 AA) Compliance for your video content. We also are compliant with student privacy requirements.  The presence of Closed Captions is the most critical and visible element of WCAG compliance. You can provide closed captions for live or uploaded content with just one click. We allow users to change the font, font color, background color, and opacity, use keyboard commands, and more. We also can translate your captions to over 100 languages.

Eduvision stands apart as a white-label alternative to platforms like YouTube. Here, schools and districts have the power to create their own channels and appoint channel managers to oversee all uploaded videos. Unlike YouTube, your valuable content will never be associated with questionable material, and we completely exclude third-party advertisers.

Eduvision ensures your brand’s integrity remains intact, and your content not only meets but exceeds WCAG accessibility requirements. Moreover, we offer an array of educator-friendly workflows to enhance the use of video in education.
