The Department of Education is inviting applications for new awards under the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials for Individuals with Disabilities program for fiscal year 2021. The program aims to set up a Captioned and Described Educational Media Center to provide accessible educational materials, such as captioned and described video content, for students with disabilities. The center seeks to improve educational results for these students by developing and offering technology and media resources that are accessible and useful in classroom settings. The application submission deadline is April 27, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to help schools get videos with words and sounds that are easy to understand for kids who might have trouble seeing or hearing. They are giving money to create a special place to make these videos, but it might be tricky for smaller groups to join because there are a lot of rules to follow.
