As of the time we are creating this course, faculty teaching hybrid courses at UW Tacoma are expected to "be aware of the ongoing need for flexibility and accommodation as the potential for illness and self-quarantining is likely to remain. This means that asynchronous alternatives should be provided for online meetings, recordings of in-class sessions should be made by the instructor, and opportunities to make up missed work should be offered."

If you have face-to-face lectures in your class, the simplest (but not necessarily the least time-consuming!) method is to share your lecture as text on a Canvas page and/or by linking Word, PDF, Powerpoint, and other files.

This is a natural method if you normally create a written lecture or script , and you've already learned how to link to files or create and edit pages to provide your lecture content.

NOTE: the purpose of this is to provide an equitable opportunity for students who cannot make it to your class. This means providing some form of your actual lecture (and activities), not just notes or links to resources!

If your lectures are synchronous, or you are willing to record a lecture—during your class or at another time—your options expand greatly, as you will see next.
