You might have a lot of questions about ADA and FERPA while teaching online as it looks different than in the traditional classroom. This Class Recordings Decision Tree for ADA and FERPA (pdf), also available as a text version, created by Western’s Registrar’s Office and the Center for Instructional Innovation walks you through different scenarios and how to adhere to FERPA while online if you are looking to record your classes. See the FAQ for Faculty: Online Class Recordings for additional resources and details.
