WEB STREAMING (Yuja): Yuja is a lecture and content capture software that was chosen by the ND University System to provide that service for its 11 campuses. Yuja enables faculty, students and staff to record presentations, lessons, training, an entire lecture, and more. 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. Yuja integrates with most learning management systems and is ADA compliant. 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 Yuja. Students should be aware that their voices or any presentation they do in class may be recorded on Yuja and available via Blackboard for other students in their class to view. Web streaming is located under the heading “Yuja” in your courses. The recordings will be available for viewing for the duration of the semester. Watching class via web streaming does not count as attendance for class but is highly encouraged if you are unable to attend class or wish to review concepts covered in class. Please refer to attendance policy if there are any questions. FACULTY/STUDENT COMMUNICATION: Faculty/students are responsible for checking course announcements in Blackboard, bulletin boards and/or mailboxes as appropriate at each campus for messages each class day. Email is used extensively within the Blackboard Learning Management System, students are responsible to have a working college email account and check it daily during the semester. Students, staff and faculty are expected respond to emails promptly – within 48 hours during a usual work week or as requested. The purpose is to assure rapid communication between students and instructors. Students must notify the nursing coordinator if their email address changes .
