HurixDigital Develops Accessible Math Videos for K-12 Students

Client Overview

The client is one of the leading K-12 online education providers. Their online curriculum is designed for homeschooled children and as a supplement to classroom teaching. They wanted Hurix to develop learning videos for grades K to 12. The videos were to be developed in a highly engaging manner and comply with the WCAG guidelines. To ensure inclusivity, the client specifically required Accessible Math Videos that cater to diverse learning needs, including students with disabilities. Hurix developed Accessible Math Videos with clear visuals, audio descriptions, captions, and interactive elements, making complex mathematical concepts easier to understand. These videos aligned with WCAG standards, ensuring an equitable and engaging learning experience for all students.

The Challenge

  • Create engaging learning videos for Grade K to 12
  • Ensure the videos are WCAG compliant with audio descriptions

Our Solution

  • The project workflow included developing storyboards, video recording,
    graphic development, voice-over, sound recording and final review
  • We used live actors to introduce the core concept of the topic. This was
    primarily used for introduction and closing of the video
  • The videos were created using WCAG 2.0 guidelines which included-
    1. Audio description at the beginning of the visuals to describe the following scene. These descriptions were created separately over and above the regular voice-over script
    2. Creating SRT files for closed captions
    3. Following the color contrast ratio of 4:5:1 for animation art and illustrations
  • Tools such as Adobe After Effects and Photoshop were used for graphic and
    layout development
  • Four videos were developed as part of the ‘Proof of Concept’. Two for each
    Maths & English subject; one depicting video with illustration and one with
    live actor recording
