  • No Audio-Only Content: Every lesson is delivered as text, so no information is available only by listening.
  • Video Captions — not applicable yet: Our course content is currently text-based and contains no video or recorded audio. When video is introduced, captions will be required before it is published. We would rather state this plainly than claim captions for media that does not exist.
