This course will focus on real-time remote interpreting and pre-recording interpretations for remote or virtual instruction. Participants will learn how best to prepare for interpreting in a remote learning environment, best practices for screencasting, and use tools for reflecting on work and documenting successful strategies that were used. Participants will apply problem solving skills to develop coping strategies in this new learning environment.

Although this workshop will provide resources, tips and tools for virtual meetings and screencasting, this is not a workshop on how to record or edit videos using Loom, Zoom, etc. The training is designed to support the logistics of interacting with these platforms to enhance interpreting work for student access to instruction.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Foster effective communication between families, students and educators
• Identify effective coping strategies during virtual interpreting scenarios
• Evaluate personal workspace for accessibility
• Practice recording interpreted lessons using screencasting technology
