    Where will the link to the recording of the video for the NC-ASA webinar #1 be posted so I can use it in my class?  Also, will it eventually be closed captioned?

    Thank you,
    Bernie​

    Hi Bernie,

    The link to the recording of the video has been posted on NC-ASA's brand new YouTube channel (link here). We plan to also post future webinars here. There is a button to add close captioning on the video. This was done automatically, so I'm not sure how well it does, but I'd love to hear any feedback on it if you use them.

    Best,

    Ryne

    I thought it was a TERRIFIC  talk and one all academics SHOULD watch, (but I know they won't). But I can require my students to watch it!  RIT, where I teach is the home of the National Technical Institute of the Deaf so to use anything in my classes, it has to be CC'd.  The auto CC will help but I will need to have our staff use that as a base and bring it up to professional quality when I get to use it.  (I am not teaching this semester.).  I will share the link when I get it done.

    Best regards,
    Bernie

    I also thought it was a terrific webinar.  Aric will be presenting again in the series on "Proper Model Validation" later this fall .  NC ASA's next professional webinar will be Introduction to Modern Machine Learning Techniques by Funda Gunes at SAS on Friday May 17th at 12pm.
