I am building a course that needs accessibility for deaf persons added.
I am wondering if anyone from the staff or any users have experience what would be better performance-wise: 1) Two different courses(one accessible, other not) or 2) Accessibility inside one course
Second option means that all videos have to be imported twice, once normally and second with subtitles. Other things as well.
Would it make course run slowly if it gets bigger by importing twice as much content in it?
What version of Storyline are you using? Storyline 3 and 360 allows you to import closed captions for your videos, so you wouldn't need to have two different files of the same video.
I'm a big fan universal design- the idea that things that benefit disabled people can also benefit everyone. For instance, adding closed captions to your course could allow learners to watch it at their desk without headphones. I would create the accessibility within one course. If you're not using 360, you could make your own closed captions using objects and the timeline. You could add a closed caption button that changes the state of your captions to normal or hidden to allow users to choose if they want to see captions.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Allison!
That is much simpler solution that what I was thinking of.
Do you know maybe what is the best tool(if any) to use to make captions for audio files?
And just one more thing, what would happen if I choose to restart my video, would captions follow that course of action?
