Audio Recording Checklist

DRC recommends students practice using their chosen recording method and verify it works before recording for class. Below is a checklist of items to confirm during practice and after each recording. 

  • Recording can pick up other people talking 
  • Recording does not cutout or stop 
  • Recording can pick up sound properly (i.e. is loud enough, can record instructor speaking at a distance if needed) 
  • If possible, recording can pick up self-talking 
  • Students using NTE should check the recording can be saved and uploaded to NTE website
If students are having difficulty audio recording, please contact drcnotetaking@cpp.edu.
