Anatomy Of A Link

Hyperlinks have two components:

• The URL or address of the page (e.g. "http://crc.losrios.edu")
• The link text (e.g. "the Cosumnes River College website")

Correct Use

The link should always describe what the user will see when they click on it. It should never be "click here", "here", or the link itself. For example, these are appropriate ways to include a link:

• For more information, you can view the college catalog.
• Cosumnes River College has a college catalog.

Incorrect Use

Some examples of inappropriate ways to create links are:

• Click here to view the college catalog.
• View the college catalog at http://www.crc.losrios.edu/catalog
• View the college catalog here.

Benefits of Choosing Appropriate Text

• Linked text is more accessible to all users, especially disabled users. Guidelines on accessible hyperlinks can be found under Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• When printing a page, "click here" is irrelevant, and users are not likely to type in a long url correctly.
• To highlight relevant words making it simpler to decide what link to click.

Resolution

Resolution is the height and width of the video in pixels. Most video is original stored at either 720x480 (standard definition) or 1920x1080 (high definition), but gets sampled down to smaller resolutions for streaming, usually 640x480 resolution or smaller. That's because as the number of pixels in the file increase, you have to allocate more data rate to maintain the same quality.

Closed captioned video is placing text on the video to provide a time synched text transcription of the video. Closed Captioning is available through our streaming media provider 3C Media Solutions.

Under federal and state law, we are required to provide all instructional material in a format that is accessible to people with disabilities regardless of whether we have received a request from an individual student.

1. Login to your 3C Media Solutions account.
2. Click Media in the navigation bar.

The captioning process is real humans typing all dialogue and sounds for your entire video. The turn around time is undetermined. When the captioning has been completed the CC icon will show in the lower right corner of the player during playback of the video.
