CLASS RECORDINGS

This is a full catalogue of video recordings of SCANS online courses.  Some courses were delivered only as Zoom webinars, and others were delivered in hybrid mode, which included in-person audiences.  Each hyperlink will bring up a YouTube playlist of all the classes presented in that course.  Most of the courses comprise six (or five) sequential separate class recordings.    Some of the more recent courses comprise only three classes.  A very small number of courses have playlists with only a single recording, because these were courses cancelled following covid restrictions in 2020.

Following SCANS policy guidelines, video recordings are made unavailable following a two-week period after the end of term.  Navigation to the YouTube playlist will simply bring up a notice that the videos are "private".  There are two exceptions.  Marcos Zentilli has consented and requested that the recordings of both his courses be made available for viewing without time restriction.  The Zentilli lectures can be found near the bottom of the list.
