Faculty members might find the self-service UD Capture Studios to be particularly helpful in presenting missed material to students. The studios, located in 309 Gore Hall and 208 Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory, are equipped with a recording station, microphone, and a video connection for a laptop computer. 

The rooms are available for reservation online and a quick start guide is available to guide faculty through the recording process. Note that this option requires that Gore Hall or Harker ISE Lab is open for access.

Faculty should evaluate all of these tools to see which will best match their teaching needs during a regular semester and which may help maintain continuity during unusual circumstances. 

Faculty who would like additional assistance using these technologies can contact the IT Support Center by submitting a Help Request Form, calling 302-831-6000, or emailing consult@udel.edu.
