The Daily Bruin

The Orbis Cascade Alliance and Northwest Academic Computing Consortium are collaborating to provide webinars focusing on digital accessibility in higher education.

We invite you to join us for a session, “Untethered Teaching and Lecture Capture: Promoting Inclusion and Universal Design for Learning,” via Zoom on Wednesday, June 14, at 11 a.m. You can register now at this link. The webinar will be recorded.

Registration is free and open to anyone from Alliance and NWACC institutions. You are welcome to forward this email to anyone at other institutions who may be interested in accessibility.

Description: Untethered lecture capture (ULC) is defined as the integration of multimedia resources which permit faculty to be freely mobile within the classroom while simultaneously teaching and producing audiovisual digital recordings of lecture.

The integration of cognitive load theory with multimedia instructional design principles promotes accessibility, universal design and facilitates student learning.

Presenting will be Lorretta Krautscheid, an associate professor of nursing at George Fox, and Samuel Williams, chief Information officer at Linfield University.

Please visit the NWHeat website for additional information.

Newberg is expecting temperatures to remain in the low 90s, with up to 53% humidity, through Wednesday evening. Please take extra precautions in accordance with George Fox’s high-temperature prevention plan.

If you work in a building with limited or no air conditioning, we invite you to utilize spaces such as the Murdock Library, EHS atrium, or inside Klages to work. Because temperatures increased so rapidly, our bodies are not acclimated, so please drink plenty of water, work or stay in the shade during the highest heat of the day, and be aware of symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

If you have any questions, contact Kim Knoernschild, the environmental health and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
