The following syllabus statement for NameCoach has been provided to the faculty to explain how NameCoach will be used in their courses. The syllabus statement will provide an overview of NameCoach, its use within the course, and the resources and support available to students.
Syllabus Statement:
This course uses NameCoach, a simple yet powerful tool in Canvas that lets you record your name in your own voice and hear its correct pronunciation. By recording your name, you help your instructors and classmates address you correctly from the start, fostering clear, professional communication in the classroom. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating your one-time recording and sharing it outside Canvas using the NameBadge feature.
