Remember to Post Recording Reminders to your Class

At the start of each live Zoom session that you are recording, it is important to remind students that you are recording the class in order for them to review later or for classmates, who can not attend class, to view. Please add the following language to your Canvas page and remind students at the beginning of each recorded sessions:

"In an effort to provide equitable access to all students in this class, I will be recording this class session. If anyone has a concern, please feel free to let me know. If at any point during the session, you would like me to pause the recording, please let me know and I am happy to pause the recording."
