ADA Compliance Information - PLEASE READ (sorry-long e-mail)
by Silvana Martini 23 May '25

23 May '25

Hi all, Unit Leaders had a meeting with Dean Heng-Moss yesterday about ADA requirements. Below is some information about the meeting and resources that you can use to make your material accessible. Please note that this is NOT only for teaching. All web material must be ADA compliant by April 20th, 2026. This includes workshops, social media, and websites. Reminder: federal web accessibility requirement: A new rule under Title II of the ADA requires all digital course materials to meet W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by April 24, 2026. Resources are available for faculty and staff to get ahead of compliance prior to the 2025-26 academic year: o Digital Accessibility Training course available in Bridge. o Center for Transformative Teaching accessibility workshop series. The next workshop is March 5. o Instructional designers within the colleges. o Institutional Equity and Compliance - contact at oiec(a)unl.edu. o UNL's ADA Title II resource webpage. o UNL's Web Developer Network File Best Practices resource webpage. Digital Accessibility Workshop Series: https://teaching.unl.edu/workshops/digital-accessibility-series/ How to Use the 3Rs Framework: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://accessibility.umn.edu/getting-started/u… During the meeting I mentioned that faculty in the department were concerned about the accuracy of lecture transcripts.... And the amount of time that it would take for them to double check the transcripts... One of the speakers (Jaci Lindburg jlindburg(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:jlindburg@nebraska.edu>) followed up with the e-mail below. "One of the things I wanted to follow up with you about is your great question on the accuracy and time it could potentially take faculty to "fix" transcripts and captions in the videos they create for their courses. I'm copying Amy Barry here. She and her team support faculty on the Lincoln campus in using tools like Canvas and Yuja. Yuja is the platform I'd highly recommend to you for creating instructional video and captioning it. As I mentioned, we are seeing higher and higher percentage accuracy numbers in most cases with Yuja's machine captioning, which can automatically be applied after a video is created and is not an extra cost to the university. We also have access to a very small number of minutes of human captioning, which is over 99% accurate but we know we need to limit its use to where its needed most in order to be cost-effective across the university system. Silvana, could you please let Amy know about some of the specific courses you were thinking about when you asked your great question today? First and foremost, I want to confirm you/the faculty you're thinking of are using Yuja and our recommended captioning workflow. Amy, I was hoping you could then take a look at captioning accuracy of the course(s) Silvana flags and see where they fall in terms of accuracy. Finally, if needed, since I believe the course(s) Silvana mentioned are very large in terms of student enrollment, I'd like us to consider if it makes sense to apply some of our human captioning to this course(s) if the accuracy is not where we'd like to see it." I hope this is somehow helpful. Please, please, let me know if I can help in any way... I might not have the answers, but I can probably help you find them...

RO water low - no autoclaves
by Jayne Stratton 16 May '25

16 May '25

Good morning, Nebraska Nova stopped by my office and mentioned the building RO water is low and is trying to replenish. They have shut off the autoclaves on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors to try to reduce usage. Service has been contacted to assist in correcting the issue. Hopefully the autoclaves can be turned on again after lunch if the system is working properly, and I will send another message then.
