Michael Cooperman was awarded “Best Conference Presentation” for the second year in a row at the annual 2011 BESAC conference in Sacramento, California. His presentation titled “Using inexpensive or existing gadgets to create instructional video” described how instructors can use the cameras they already own in their phones, iPods, computers, etc. to create ADA compliant instructional video. The presentation summarized the results of a series of workshops that he delivered during February – March 2011 where he demonstrated the process of shooting video, importing footage into the computer, and using YouTube to edit, upload, and caption the video. The two-day conference consisted of many presentations on a variety of topics, and attendees voted for their favorites after each.
