<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Welcome back to campus and to the start of the 2021-2022 academic year. I hope all of you managed to relax and rejuvenate over the summer to prepare for what is bound to be another complicated year. This year
as we resume in person courses and activities we will continue to need to be flexible and have a problem solving mindset as we continue to cope with the rise in COVID-19 cases locally and nationally.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Campus vaccination rates are high, but as we know we do not exist in a bubble and the reality is that we will most likely be responding to absences in faculty, staff and students due to COVID related reasons.
To this end we are providing the following recommendations for all faculty and instructors in the college to ensure students will have access to course content. In this email you will find guidance to address some of the questions I have been receiving. If
you have questions that are not addressed in this email please reach out and I will find the appropriate responses.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Recording class lectures: We recommend that all faculty record their class lectures using Panopto. You do not have to pre-record your lectures, but rather record while you are delivering the lecture. There
are many resources that can help you learn how to use Panopto. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

The fantastic<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Adam
Pritt</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>has created brief (1-6 minute) videos on using this very powerful course capture system that is embedded within Canvas. I have used it for years to record my course lectures in real time (i.e., using a wireless
microphone). Students have found it helpful incase they need to miss class as well as to relisten to a key element of a specific discussion. However, it can also be used asynchronously to record lectures and there are ways to embed quizzes if that is something
you would find helpful—and Adam has a video for that and other helpful things! Considering that we may have students or instructors that may need to miss class due to quarantine or illness, using this tool makes class content more accessible:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
