ABSTRACT

With the rising popularity of and legal requirements for media accessibility, a need has arisen to train professional audio describers and, to this end, to educate audio description trainers. This paper aims to serve as guidance for trainers who wish to design and conduct their own audio description course. It first identifies shortcomings in the current audio description training literature. We then specify theoretical foundations for course design, including situated and contextualised learning models. Building on the experience from the ADLAB PRO project, we then present a procedure for designing an audio description course based on learning outcomes and such elements as learning through acquisition, inquiry, discussion, practice and collaboration. This typology of course elements serves as the analytical framework for examples of good practices described in the article. It is the first study to date that shows how audio description training can meet the demands of modern learning models and the requirements of an emerging profession. It can be used as a reference point by all those creating curricula and by trainers willing to enrich their teaching approaches.

摘要

随着媒体可访问性的日益普及和法律要求，需要培训专业的音频描述者，并为此目的，教育音频描述训练者。本文旨在为希望设计和实施自己的音频描述课程的培训师提供指导。它首先找出当前音频描述培训文献中的不足。然后，我们指定课程设计的理论基础，包括情境和情境学习模型。然后，基于ADLAB PRO项目的经验，我们提出了一个基于学习成果和诸如通过习得，探究，讨论，练习和协作进行学习等要素来设计音频描述课程的过程。课程元素的这种类型可以作为本文描述的良好实践示例的分析框架。这是迄今为止的第一项研究，显示了音频描述训练如何满足现代学习模型的需求和新兴专业的需求。所有创建课程的人和愿意丰富其教学方法的培训人员都可以将其用作参考点。
