For video and voice-over scripts, we recommend drafting them in Word rather than improvising. Remember that you will need to include either a transcript or subtitles to make your course accessible to learners with poor connectivity or difficulty hearing. You want your transcript/subtitles to flow well and be grammatically correct, so it is best to draft a script.
If you use an embedded link, hyperlink the text in a meaningful way (known as a semantic link). It makes it clearer for all users and, importantly, it makes the text more accessible for visually impaired users and/or those using a speech reader. For example: Read about national IHL committees and the law and policy platform. Avoid using “click here” and “read more”.
Avoid adding text to images and in videos, because it may cause issues when translating or editing the text in the future. It may also cause a problem for users who are visually impaired and/or those using a speech reader, as text in images cannot be read.
