[ED][Captions] Example videos #101

Open shawna-slh opened 6 years ago

Why make people go off to other page to see these? Why not just activate on this page (and make it clear that you have to click to see it)?

Or, not have images at all - just a link.

Note: At first I didn't realize that the images were linked, and I reacted: "These all look the same, I can't tell that they are different." Later, I figured out to click on them. I almost always right click and open in new page, but I didn't in this case -- I guess the icon made me think it was opening in a new window. So I just clicked it. Then way it was with just the video, I didn't realize it was not a new window, so I closed it... then I lost the whole thing and had to go back and find the resource. And, I did this more than once. :(

I think it's probably best in this case to open them in a separate page (that is, new window), and make that clear. Probably just a link, not image -- since the static image doesn't convey any information:

Roll-up captions example (opens in new window).

I was also not aware that those images would open into videos until I saw this issue, I thought they were static images.
