Start Gradually to Make Your Transition to Social Distance Mode Easier

There are a number of low-tech solutions that can be implemented as instructors and departments look to make course material accessible for students who are unable to attend class meetings. While high-tech solutions like streaming video can be impressive, the steep learning curve along with the time and the resources necessary for such an implementation can easily overwhelm an already overloaded faculty.
A number of suggestions have emerged during the ongoing conversations about pandemic flu planning. One point raised at a recent ITC meeting was the lesson learned from Distance Education that video solutions should not necessarily be the first response to delivering course material to students. Audio recording is a much less intensive and less technically challenging solution. With most new laptop computers having built in microphones an instructor could simply start to record as they present their class lecture.
