Jot This Down gives you practical advice to start and maintain an effective note-taker program — and legal guidance to ensure it complies with the law. You learn where to find qualified candidates to become note-takers and what perks to offer them – so you recruit and retain the best people. And, with details on paid versus volunteer programs, you can determine which alternative is best suited to your institution.
Plus, you discover:
- How to work with professors to ensure that note-takers are getting the gist of class lectures and discussions
- When OCR will allow reasonable delays in getting students their notes
- Other auxiliary aids that can be used instead of note-takers
- Essential elements of an effective note-taker training program
You also get a form for students to sign to assure professors that tape recorded lectures will not violate their copyright for course content. And, summaries of OCR letters show you how the agency has ruled on other institutions’ actions, so you can change your policies to comply. (January 2006. Pamphlet, 47 pp.)
