EASIT
Educational Materials.

00:00:15,543 --> 00:00:17,450
Hello.
I am a talking pencil.

3
00:00:17,759 --> 00:00:19,920
I wear black glasses
and white gloves

4
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:22,380
and I have a pointing stick 
in my left hand.

5
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,571
I will be your guide
through the introduction

6
00:00:24,871 --> 00:00:28,130
to the educational materials
of the EASIT project.

7
00:00:28,430 --> 00:00:31,413
The educational materials
that EASIT has created

8
00:00:31,713 --> 00:00:33,430
are distributed into units.

9
00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:37,023
Each unit has different elements 
or general topics

10
00:00:37,323 --> 00:00:39,210
that include various items.

11
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:41,870
The units deal 
with the following topics.

12
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:46,445
Unit 1 is about media accessibility.
It is a general introduction.

13
00:00:46,906 --> 00:00:49,563
Unit 2 addresses
easy-to-understand language,

14
00:00:49,863 --> 00:00:51,747
with a focus 
on the written text.

15
00:00:52,318 --> 00:00:55,233
Unit 3 addresses
easy-to-understand language

16
00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:56,866
in the audiovisual world.

17
00:00:57,167 --> 00:00:59,850
More specifically,
it includes Unit 3A,

18
00:01:00,151 --> 00:01:02,980
on easy-to-understand language 
and subtitling.

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,370
Unit 3B, on easy-to-understand language 
and audio description.

20
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:10,856
And Unit 3C, on
easy-to-understand language

21
00:01:11,156 --> 00:01:12,587
and audiovisual journalism.

22
00:01:13,522 --> 00:01:16,214
The last unit, Unit 4,
is about the profession

23
00:01:16,523 --> 00:01:20,053
and will approach some of the skills 
needed to work in the field.

24
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:24,299
EASIT has produced a wide array 
of educational materials:

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Video presentations.

26
00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:29,315
There are video lectures, 
which are based on a slide presentation,

27
00:01:29,615 --> 00:01:32,441
and other types of videos
such as samples,

28
00:01:32,741 --> 00:01:35,598
interviews with professionals 
and users and so on.

29
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:38,115
Additional materials
for some of the videos,

30
00:01:38,415 --> 00:01:41,229
that is, links to webpages
where you can learn more

31
00:01:41,529 --> 00:01:42,920
about a specific aspect.

32
00:01:43,229 --> 00:01:46,870
Reading lists for each of the units, 
with suggested references.

33
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:50,163
A questionnaire for each of the units, 
plus some suggested tasks

34
00:01:50,463 --> 00:01:52,745
that trainers 
can do in class.

35
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,468
These materials are useful 
for both self-learners

36
00:01:56,769 --> 00:02:00,235
and also for trainers 
who want to use them in their classes.

37
00:02:00,632 --> 00:02:04,100
We’ve tried to make the materials 
as accessible as possible.

38
00:02:04,409 --> 00:02:07,020
This is why we offer them 
in different formats.

39
00:02:07,329 --> 00:02:11,080
For example, for video lectures
you have access to the video,

40
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:14,242
but also to the audio only 
as a podcast,

41
00:02:14,543 --> 00:02:18,336
the slide presentation, the transcript, 
and the subtitles in English

42
00:02:18,636 --> 00:02:20,379
and in other languages, 
if available.

43
00:02:21,621 --> 00:02:26,486
The materials are available 
at the UAB’s open access repository DDD,

44
00:02:26,796 --> 00:02:30,170
and they can also be accessed
through a dedicated website.

45
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:33,343
They are free to use, 
so I welcome you to use them

46
00:02:33,644 --> 00:02:35,700
for self-learning
or in your classes

47
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:37,215
if you are a trainer.
