Recommendations for Success:● Do a test recording first to make sure everything is
working well (ie. microphone, webcam, etc.) and that the sound level is good
● Spread students out in the room so as not to pick up sounds from others on recordings (also consider using quiet spaces such as “booths” and/or areas such as hallways)
● Use headsets/microphones for best quality experiences and outcomes
