This page is a library of recorded lectures and video resources for ID 246 at NAU. As the semester progresses, videos will be added to this library every week.
Week 1
Introductory note: NAU switched to Canvas from Blackboard Learn in Fall 2023. Many of the video lectures were created before that date. Because of this, you will notice references to Blackboard in several of the course videos. Whenever you hear those references, please substitute “Canvas” for “Blackboard.” Canvas is used in the same way that Blackboard was.
