Christopher, did you mean whether the course would teach us about including closed captions within HTML audio and video, or did you mean if the transcript of the course is available?

As far as I can see, there's no transcript available yet.

Do you know about Amara? It's a non-profit developed service and tool to both provide interlanguage subtitling and transcript captioning of web videos. It doesn't help in this situation, but it's a pretty neat tool.

It may not have closed captions, but you should be able to read the transcript of the presentation below the video frame. Although, I have seen a few videos so far that don't have the transcript, or it's empty.

I find this especially useful when I'm searching for an answer, but don't want or need to watch the entire video. I just do a search for keywords relating to the question.
