(See <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/pmc\/legal-policies-and-responsibilities\/accommodation-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">杏吧原创&#8217;s Accommodation Policy<\/a> and visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/pmc\/faculty-and-instructors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Menton Centre support page for faculty and instructors<\/a> for guidance).<\/li>\n<li>Caption any web conferencing recordings by uploading the videos to Kaltura Mediaspace. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/capture\/add-new-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uploading recordings to Kaltura Mediaspace<\/a> creates automatic captions for all video content. If you cannot caption or if you have students with weak internet, download a <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/capture\/captions\/#sect2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transcript<\/a> and post the transcript to the course page as an alternative mode of learning.<\/li>\n<li>Post notes, slides and other materials for students who require material in different formats.<\/li>\n<li>Allow enough time in your web conferencing sessions to get a response from students. Students need time to process and think through your questions. Silence in web conferencing feels extra long, but allow the silence to settle long enough that students can craft their responses.<\/li>\n<li>Allow students to decide when to turn on\/off their cameras. Sharing webcams is a high-bandwidth activity and many students have slow internet access. For some students, sharing a web cam interferes with their ability to focus on the session and can cause anxiety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more tips on creating an accessible classroom, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/teachingresources\/accessibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Accessibility Resources for Instructors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<h3>Facilitating<\/h3>\n<div class=\"slideme\"><dl class=\"slideme__list\"><dt class=\"slideme__term\"><a href=\"#slideme-joining-the-meeting-early\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"slideme-joining-the-meeting-early\" class=\"slideme__heading slideme__trigger\">Joining the meeting early<\/a><\/dt><dd class=\"slideme__description\" id=\"slideme-joining-the-meeting-early\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Join at least 15 minutes before the session is planned to begin.<\/li>\n<li>Test audio and video and upload\/open any teaching materials you will be sharing.<\/li>\n<li>If you plan to record the session, post a slide indicating that you plan to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<div class=\"slideme\"><dl class=\"slideme__list\"><dt class=\"slideme__term\"><a href=\"#slideme-technical-participation\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"slideme-technical-participation\" class=\"slideme__heading slideme__trigger\">Technical participation<\/a><\/dt><dd class=\"slideme__description\" id=\"slideme-technical-participation\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the start of the session, communicate the expectations for how participants will engage technically (e.g. using the chat to post questions, raise their hand or use built-in tool \u201creactions\u201d to indicate they have a question).

The following guidelines provide insight into when an instructor may wish to record classes and instruction on how to do so in a way that is consistent with university policies.<\/p>\n<p>Students are prohibited from recording class sessions and are also prohibited from the distribution of class recordings.
