Technology

The classes in this course will be remote, which requires reliable access to internet, a computer, laptop, or tablet device. Attendance in the zoom online classroom is mandatory.  Every student will be required to submit video-recorded counseling demonstrations, which means students need working cameras and microphones in addition to audio.  Students will need to have the ability to record either via zoom or an alternative method and submit a full transcript of the demonstration as part of the assignment.  Most zoom platforms include a running caption that can be printed for the transcript.  Other students in the past have utilized free online transcribing software such as, Transcribe Me or Otter AI.
