<span style="color:black">I think we also need to be mindful of the quality of the learning experience and the specific student populations we serve in our various programs. In order to process requests for technical support for HyFLex or other forms of remote

Adam has developed a suite of resources that you can access on-line to support the distance delivery of courses, the recording of lectures, and other aspects of course engagement that can enhance the student learning experience. Janet Woodruff-Borden clearly
indicated that we are expected to record our lectures and post them on Canvas to provide access to students who cannot attend class. The following is a selected list of the most relevant resources and where they are located.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
