E-learning startup Udacity has partnered with Amara to use crowdsourcing for closed captioning of its video assets.  Udacity's free online classes have been attended by some 750,000 students since Udacity’s launch in January.
Closed captioning could not only help Udacity to make its content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing students, but also be the first step towards an international expansion.
