Role-play activities are an essential part of many conflict resolution courses and these activities are recorded on video. For this course, we ask that you come prepared to shoot video on your personal device (smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc). Please ensure that you know how to adjust the video settings on your device, and have sufficient storage for up to one hour of video.

If you are unable to bring a recording device, Continuing Education will provide a video camera to record your role-play sessions. In this scenario, we ask that you bring a 32 GB microSD class 10 memory card to class. Your video will be saved to this card. Larger capacity cards are not compatible with the recording equipment being used. Many retailers and Amazon.ca sell a memory card and card reader as a package. For questions, call 403-220-2866.
