Because State policy and Federal standards mandates we provide captioning and/or text equivalents for our multimedia content, below are SUNY Oswego guidelines for multimedia content*:

• If a video has sound, it needs to be closed captioned
• If a video does not have sound, it needs a video description (a file that can be read by a screen reader)
• If it is an audio file, it neeeds a transcript (a file that can be read by a screen reader)

*multimedia file types include: .mov, .swf, .mp4, .mp3, .asf, .wmv, .wav, .wma

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format that allows the syndication of lists of hyperlinks, along with other information, ormetadata, that helps viewers decide whether they want to follow the link. An RSS document (called a feed) usually contains a summary of content from an associated website. The user subscribes to the feed by clicking an RSS icon in a browser or using an XML link provided on a website.

According to studies, reading from computer screens can be more than 25 percent slower than reading from paper. Plus many users are reading on smartphones and don't want to scroll too much. As a result, experts recommend writing 50 percent less text onscreen than you might for a printed piece.

In addition, college applicants make snap decisions based on an institution's Web site, and make those decisions in just seconds -- which again argues for brief, user-centered and Web-savvy copy.

New York State Office for Technology Policy P09-005 (PDF). requires that "... state agency web-based information and applications are accessible to persons with disabilities." Federal standards mentioned in the policy can be found here. Also see FAQs (PDF).
