blackboard Blackboard

Blackboard help is provided by Humber's Teaching and Learning Department.

vlc VLC Media Player

VLC Media Player is a cross-platform desktop video player that makes integrating captions in *.srt format simple. Usually, all that is required is for the video file (e.g. video.mp4) and the caption file (e.g. video.srt) to be located in the same folder. You can read instructions on using caption files in VLC. 

Instructions for using caption files on other platforms can be found using their respective help systems or support forums.
