Charges and Fees
The Center for Online Learning is happy to assist with digital media projects that are in support of a UD catalog course and scholarship. There typically would be no charge for such projects. If your needs fall outside of these categories, we still can provide assistance; however, there likely will be charges for the work. Our fees will typically be $175/hour for recording, and $75/hour for editing (may vary by project).
Here are the common conditions where we would charge a fee for our digital media services:
- Project is not related to a catalog course or scholarship.
- Insufficient notice before the project deadline.
- Repeated usage of our services beyond the norm.
Why do we charge for work unrelated to a course?
The Center for Online Learning is staffed and equipped to meet the needs of course instructors and program coordinators. We are not staffed to handle more widespread needs. When capacity allows, we do accept projects outside of the area of catalog courses. In these cases, we use the money we charge to update and maintain our media equipment.
Closed Captions
All video content that will be used in a course must include captions. The Center for Online Learning, automatically captions all instructors’ videos uploaded to Warpwire, UD’s streaming platform, within 48 hours. Warpwire is the recommended delivery tool for self-created video content. The Warpwire video tool is fully integrated and available inside every Isidore course site, and is fully supported and managed by the Center for Online Learning. Video content hosted outside of Warpwire but shared through Isidore as a class resource (ex: YouTube) may or may not include acceptable captioning.
The aforementioned automated captions may include inaccuracies. It is the responsibility of the instructor to ensure that their captions are accurate. The Center for Online Learning can provide guidance on how to fix errors in the closed captions.
