However, captioning benefits many members of the MIT community, not just the hard of hearing and deaf. For example, our the large international population, for whom English is not their first language, often use closed captions to improve their comprehension and fluency. Captions are also useful for watching video in environments where audio is not appropriate such as in an open office or lab.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Barbara Johnson</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On Aug 10, 2010, at 1:46 PM, Kris Brewer wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">Greetings MIT TechTV Users! </span></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial"> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; ">We have some very exciting news that requires your attention and participation.</div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial"> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; ">MIT TechTV is undergoing some major changes as you read this to allow us to make the site bigger and better suited for your needs (more details below). </div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial"> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; ">What this means for you:</div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial"> </p>
