Thanks, Jeff and Gary. I'm not positive whether the new slides will be
just to make the video less boring, or whether the slide/image content will
contribute to understanding of the topic. I've asked about this and about
whether we're re-filming these clips. If the latter, I'll make sure that
the script describes the slides clearly so no audio description will be
required. I'd like to keep it as uncomplicated as possible for the
students. Besides, an audio description track does nothing for the
deaf-blind.

IF a major overhaul of the videos is in the works for the near-future,
then holding off might well make sense, time and money-wise. What about
audio-description? Will you be able to work that in at the same time,
bringing the videos up to a more full level of accessibility and
conformance while you have the opportunity?
