Accessibility is not only an important part of building a welcoming and inclusive university culture; it’s also PSU policy. This means that all pdxPDX.edu multimedia content must include the following:

titleCaptioning & transcription options

Caption Your Own Multimedia Content

Content developers may generate captions and transcripts themselves using video hosting sites like Youtube and Media Space. Both of these services offer machine-generated captions and accompanying editing tools. Please note that machine captions are not fully accessible for people with disabilities and must be edited for accuracy. Follow these steps to caption your own Multimedia content in YouTube or Media Space:

Request Professional Captioning and Transcription

Affordable professional captioning and transcription services are currently available through OIT at a cost of $1 per video minute. Follow these steps to request paid, professional captioning and transcription:

  1. Upload your multimedia content to Media Space.

  2. Submit a Caption Request for pdxPDX.edu Multimedia.

  3. Allow 5-7 business days for your request to process.

Do be aware that embedding external content is appropriate for stand-alone widgets and elements that supplement pdxPDX.edu content; they are not intended to replicate an entire other site. If there is an existing well-developed external resource, link to that content instead. This is a mutual benefit as it reinforces the connection between content through interlinking and page views.

titleEmbedding a Google calendar

You can embed a Google Calendar using an iframe. However, there are a few added steps you need to take, to ensure the calendar is accessible:

  1. On a computer, open Google Calendar. You can only get the code to embed in your website from a computer, not the Google Calendar app.

  2. In the top right, select the Settings menu (it looks like a gear) and then Settings.

  3. On the left side of the screen, select the name of the calendar you want to embed.

  4. Select "Integrate Calendar" in the menu that expands under the calendar name you selected.

  5. Copy the "Public URL to this calendar" section URL. For example, the Public URL to my 1:1 help calendar is: 
    https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=pdx.edu_p6hjlahv1gsmk0e8g6oereldh4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

  6. Open some kind of text editor and paste the URL in it. This is just for temporary purposes so we can edit this URL.

  7. Replace everything before src= in the URL with: 
    https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=agenda&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&  

    1. Example: the new URL for my 1:1 calendar is:
      https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=agenda&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF& src=pdx.edu_p6hjlahv1gsmk0e8g6oereldh4%http://40group.calendar.google.com &ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

  8. Copy the new URL, this will be used for the iframe.

A few notes:

  • When creating the iframe, set the width to 100% and the height to 600px.

  • Calendars with appointment slots cannot be embedded; they only display the scheduled appointments, not the available times to book. For appointment calendars, use a call to action to link to the appointment calendar.
