Recommendations
It is recommended that faculty continue to adopt asynchronous practices in their teaching for those students that may not be able to join synchronously in real-time such as international students.
To ensure that all students have access to the same learning experience, instructors should record their lectures when possible, using the YuJa lecture capture software. Recorded class content can then be made available to students through Moodle.
