Zoom AI Digital Note Taking Accommodation
The Disability Resource Center at SUU offers students who need digital note taking accommodation with tools through Zoom AI.
Students who have an approved accommodation for Digital Note taking or recordings should not record lectures prior to activating their accommodations for the given semester.
Students approved to record course lectures as a disability-related accommodation should use recordings and transcripts only for their own educational purposes and only in connection with their disability accommodation. Recordings and transcripts may not be shared, distributed, posted, or provided to others. Students should delete all course recordings and transcripts after the course has been completed.
Please read these steps to set up digital note taking with Zoom.
