17. Pre-Recording Class Lectures
The steps below are a work around.  The ideal method to pre-record your lecture would be to create a private channel in the Teams classroom, in that channel select ‘Meet now’, record your lecture and then move the video file to the Class Materials folder so students can have view access.  However, we found a bug with this method.  The bug has been reported to Microsoft and a fix is pending. 

This document provides detailed directions on how to pre-record.

The document explains how to access your expired Teams Classrooms.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
