Accessibility Belongs on Every Back-to-School Checklist
School supplies checklists are inevitable as teachers and students prepare for their return to the classroom. NCI is committed to ensuring that accessibility tools are at the top of those lists because they can make a world of difference to your institution. When lectures are live captioned or translated and transcripts are available, every student has the tools they need to follow along and succeed. With NCI’s Lightning classroom solution, adding accessibility to your school’s routine is simple and seamless!
Accessibility Is For Everyone
Captioning and transcripts aren’t just for students with hearing loss; they help everyone. English learners can follow along more easily, students who struggle with notetaking can review content later at their own pace, and anyone with auditory processing disorders benefits from seeing and hearing information simultaneously. Making accessibility part of the classroom routine helps educators set up all students for success, creating a more inclusive and engaging learning environment from the very first day of school.
Lightning Makes It Seamless
NCI’s Lightning solutions are designed to make accessibility easy for students and administrators. With live captions and translations, offline transcripts, and a comprehensive student portal, Lightning integrates smoothly into existing classroom workflows. Students can use their personal devices, and teachers can focus on instruction, knowing their students have reliable access to each word in every lesson. A big bonus is that Lightning is extremely user friendly for administrators to quickly create student accounts, AND your school only receives one monthly bill.
Real Impact In Schools
Schools that use Lightning will reap noticeable benefits: students stay engaged longer, comprehension improves, and learning becomes more inclusive overall. Teachers also find it easier to support diverse learning needs without added workload. Accessibility isn’t just a feature; it’s a tool that transforms the classroom experience for everyone.
Make It Part Of Your Routine
Just like pencils and notebooks, accessibility belongs on the back-to-school checklist. By implementing Lightning in your classroom, you ensure that all students—regardless of hearing ability, language proficiency, or learning style—have the opportunity to participate fully and to succeed.
