Madera Community College provides Notetaking as an accommodation which allows students who are eligible to receive a volunteer peer’s notes in the same course that they are enrolled in. Volunteering to share notes allows the requesting student to access course information that they may not have access to while in the course.
Once a student requests notetaking for their courses using the DSP&S AIM Portal, a notification is sent to the instructor for them to announce that a volunteer notetaker is needed to provide notes to a peer. The instructor is not to identify the requesting student in anyway. Instructors will direct the volunteer to the Volunteer Notetaking Website where they will register on the DSP&S AIM Portal and be able to upload their notes. When notes are available, the requesting student will be notified to download them from the DSP&S AIM Portal.
The Following are the responsibility of the volunteer notetaking:
If unable to attend the course, please ensure to notify the instructor and ask another peer for their notes for the day(s) missed to ensure the notes are consistently uploaded for the requesting student.
