The recorded content is searchable, provides for note-taking and participant rating of content, can be streamed live, and can be used on portable devices having internet access.

An instructor’s lecture for the DNP is recorded and stored within a learning management system for the duration of the semester. Instructors will record IVN and other lectures on Tegrity.
