If you would like to record new lectures in a classroom, reserve time in a classroom and record new lectures there. Submit the Reactivate Previously Recorded Content form. If you have previously recorded videos of your lectures, you can access them and make them available to your students. If you planned to lecture to your students, or even to give them short bursts of instructions, you may want to consider recording them on video. We strongly recommend that you make content and textbook decisions early, especially in cases where students may require alternate versions.Are you rethinking your instruction as you teach remotely? Your teaching may be designed with a classroom in mind, but you may not be teaching in a classroom currently. Regardless of the original text format, any work to convert content to another format can take a significant amount of time and human intervention. However, electronic versions are preferred because it’s easier to convert them into other formats like large print, Braille and Kurzweil.Īs a general best practice in universal course design, it’s important to use a text that already exists in alternate format(s) whenever possible. For example, a print text can be converted into many formats, including - but not limited to - Braille, PDF, Kurzweil, MP3 and large print. It’s important to keep this in mind when selecting course content and textbooks. There are multiple factors that impact which types of alternate text formats will work for a student, including their individual needs, the nature of their disability and the subject matter of a particular course. For example, students with a print disability (i.e., students who can’t read, see or manipulate print on paper) may require content in Braille or a digital format like MP3s, PDFs or Word documents.
Students with disabilities may require course content in alternate text formats. Students can’t share recorded content with anyone (i.e., classmates, friends) or upload it to the Internet without your permission. Recorded lecture material may be used for a student’s learning purposes only.Students aren’t obligated to inform anyone in the class (other than their instructor) that they need to record the instructor’s lecture(s) due to their disability.Students should contact their instructor if they have any privacy concerns about others recording a lecture or tutorial they’re participating in.This could result in personal information being recorded. Student participation may be recorded without their knowledge.A student must have an approved accommodation to record lectures, with the exception of recording a portion of a lecture for personal study (unless that recording falls within one of the other exceptions in the Copyright Act).You maintain ownership of your lecture as the instructor.Note: Lecture recordings fall under McMaster’s copyright and recording policy. Students must have permission to record any sessions in your class.

If you still receive an auto-generated email request seeking a note-taker for one of these courses, please contact with the following information: If you provide these note-taking alternatives for your course(s), then SAS note-taking services aren’t necessary. Please refer to the MacPherson Institute for more information about universal instructional curriculum design.
Alternatively, you can explore options for podcasting lectures. Provide digital notes for the entire class through Avenue to Learn. Here are some options for you to consider. In some cases, you may wish to provide note-taking alternatives for all students in your course(s). Offering lecture outlines online before class. Providing copies of overhead slides, PowerPoint slides and/or handouts in advance of a lecture. Recording lectures with a digital recorder.
Students with disabilities may need one or more of the following accommodation options in lectures, tutorials, seminars or any other learning environment: Here are some common note-taking supports that may help students in your course(s).
