John and Parker,

Thank you for your responses! Parker, I'll look closer at Bandwith. I think
I need to understand it more. John you are tapping into exactly what I'm
looking for. I've sent you an email.

I would like to add though, that you're correct, the Deaf community would
disagree with providing just text. This is why I'm really focusing on the
use of video and it being fast to download and fluid to watch. Albeit,
perhaps it can be more economical to use just text for certain things? Or if
the content is brief then perhaps a sentence or two of text and the use of
open captioning would then be considered acceptable from the Deaf community.


I am hearing imparied and so I can say that I am particular to avoid
educational situations that don't accomodate my need for text reference. On
that note, if I were Deaf, I would think I would be just as selective if an
educational situation did not accomodate my need for ASL.

Again, gentlemen, Thank you for your help.
Shannon VI
