  Si Chen, Haocong Cheng, Suzy Su, Lu Ming, Sarah Masud, Qi Wang, Yun Huang · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Educational videos have exploded in higher education and online learning, but accessibility guidance for d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) learners has barely moved beyond captions and transcripts. Chen and colleagues argue this is a theoretical gap as much as a practical one:…
