Case Study

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 grade K to 12. The videos were to be developed in a highly engaging manner and comply with the WCAG guidelines.

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

The Result
