For Educators

OIC Movies for Educators

Everyday ASL. Deaf Culture, Stories & Receptive Practice.

Flexible Access for Every Learning Environment.

OIC Movies gives students something traditional ASL instructional materials can't always provide: extensive exposure to everyday ASL from a diverse community of Deaf signers.

With more than 2,000 captioned videos featuring Deaf individuals sharing information on a wide-range of topics and their experiences, OIC Movies helps students move beyond learning signs and vocabulary to developing real-world receptive skills and cultural understanding.

OIC Movies can supplement your existing curriculum across ASL, Interpreter Education, Deaf Studies and related programs.

Access Options for Educators

Classroom Access

Designed for an individual instructor who wants to incorporate OIC Movies into their courses.

Classroom access provides the instructor with full Premium access to OIC Movies along with permission to use and assign OIC content with their students.

A great option for:

  • ASL instructors
  • Interpreter Education faculty
  • Deaf Studies instructors
  • High school ASL teachers
  • Community education instructors

No institutional IP setup is required.

Program Access

For ASL, Interpreter Education and Deaf Studies programs that want to make OIC available to multiple instructors and students.

Institutional access can be structured according to the size of your program, with options for:

  • Fewer than 500 users
  • 500–999 users
  • 1,000–1,500 users
  • Larger programs and institutions

Multiple Premium instructor accounts are included based on the size of the program.

Basic or Premium Institutional Access

Institutions can choose the access level that best supports their instructional goals.

Basic Access provides students with access to OIC videos without captions—ideal for receptive ASL practice and comprehension assignments.

Premium Access adds caption functionality, giving programs greater flexibility in how OIC content is incorporated into instruction.

Instructor accounts include Premium access so faculty can review captioned content while preparing lessons and assignments.

Campus IP Access

Colleges, universities, schools and libraries can provide seamless access through approved institutional IP addresses.

Students and other authorized users can access OIC from the institution's network without creating individual OIC Movies accounts.

IP access is available for institutions of different sizes, from individual programs to large campuses and multi-campus systems.

Interpreter Education Programs

OIC is particularly well suited for Interpreter Training and Interpreter Education Programs.

Students can practice receptive skills with a wide variety of Deaf signers rather than becoming accustomed to one instructor or a small group of instructional signers.

Programs can incorporate OIC content into areas including:

  • Receptive ASL practice
  • Classifiers
  • Deaf Culture
  • Employment and workplace experiences
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Government
  • Family and relationships
  • Technology
  • History
  • Travel
  • Interests and community life

OIC can supplement an existing interpreting curriculum with everyday ASL and real-world Deaf perspectives.

Colleges & Universities

Access can be configured for:
