Hello and welcome to the presentation
of Audiovisual Translation: Dubbing, Subtitling and Media Accessibility
which is part of UNED Lifelong Learning.
Dr Noa Talaván, course director, sends you her greetings
from the department of Philology and Linguistics.
And I send you mine. Tomás Costal. Tutor at UNED.
Here are our contact details
for any queries or suggestions before you decide enrol.
This is a Lifelong Learning course offered by UNED
which is part of the Personal and Professional Development section.
It is worth 6 ECTS credits
which may be convalidated by your institution.
If you finish the course successfully
you will be sent a certificate around late June.
This is a course for students
but also for teachers and academics
as well as professionals
with an interest in communication, audiovisual translation and languages
or anyone passionate about the topic.
As for the content, we'll be dealing with accessibility modalities
with a special emphasis on subtitling in all its forms
with dubbing, with design for all
and also media accessibility, in terms of audio description
and respeaking.
Concerning study materials
we have prepared, in conjunction with Dr Ávila-Cabrera
our colleague at the Faculty of Philology
the title "Traducción y accesibilidad audiovisual".
It's divided into four sections
a theoretical introduction
with abundant references for those who are not beginners
a very complete section on subtitling
then comes dubbing, and finally audio description
and a general approach to media accessibility.
Also, extra content in the virtual forums
which will be freely available with an open license
or without copyright.
They will be used in individual and collective projects.
Remember that it's an online course
which means a 150-hour commitment
between early December and the end of May
so you should schedule your work over seven months.
We'd like your effort to be sustained and your interventions to be weekly.
This work will be divided into three main blocks.
Each with a theoretical introduction discussed in the forums
followed by individual practice to get familiar with the technique
and then an individual or a collaborative assignment.
At that point, it's essential to intervene in the forums
and establish groups, as there'll be diverse students
and different points of departure.
Forum interventions, like the other assignments
will be assessed and marked.
Don't worry.
You will receive support from the very beginning
and we'll guide you through the process
as in this case, with subtitles for the deaf.
What do you need?
A computer with any operating system, such as Windows, Mac or Linux
and we'll provide you with the software you need
which will be free.
You'll also need a microphone
preferably mid-range for the dubbing tasks.
Perhaps an external microphone with an USB port.
Let me remind you that no previous knowledge is needed
but some experience is also welcome
since the activities are designed for different levels.
If you speak a foreign language, the course will be more enriching
particularly in the subtitling and dubbing sections.
Your feedback is very valuable to us.
As for the assignments, they grow increasingly complex
so the students' needs will be taken into consideration.
You may enrol from early September
to early December.
For more information, follow this link.
"Formación Permanente" and then "Facultad de Filología"

Again, here's our contact information
in case you have any questions.
Thank you and see you soon.
