Preparing a slide for possible ASL
I had a request for an optional ASL interpreter video for a course already built in Rise. So far, all the information I've found is for Storyline... Anyone have a workaround/idea for doing this in Rise? TIA!
What would the interpreter translate? Rise can contain Storyline blocks and video blocks so those could feasibly just contain the signed video as an inset in the original non-Rise content. Everything else in Rise is more or less written text, right?
Hi! I had the same thought! The customer wants the embedded videos to appear with the ASL interpreter video as picture in picture ideally. I'm starting there. The customer does want the whole course in ASL as they have been told it's a preference of many HOH individuals who use ASL to have ASL interpreters present all content. Yes, I agree it does not make sense in Rise and have let them know that I can start with the video content and go from there (😉). So far, I'm having the best luck with Replay although I do know it's no longer being supported starting 2027. Thanks for replying!
Best of luck, and if you come across a novel solution, I hope you'll post it back here somewhere. The HOH community is very underserved.
I've seen instances where ASL is provided in support of text. My understanding is that for some deaf folks, the writing rules don't make sense because they come from features of spoken language. For example, "a" and "an" are technically the same word, but respond to a language quirk where speakers blend vowels. Extrapolate that other language quirks, and there comes a point where ASL is just easier for them to read.
