Teach With INFOhio

New Accessibility Features Added to World Book

Author // Sarah Mowery Friday, 22 November 2024

To support learning for all students, World Book recently added closed captions to videos within World Book Early Learning, World Book Kids, World Book Student, and World Book Advanced

Here is an example of a video with closed captions from World Book Kids.

While the default in each of these resources is to have the closed captions turned on automatically, there is an option to turn them off.
