I am currently managing notes from NTE for 14 classes. I pull down the Zoom recordings, send them to NTE, get notified when the notes are ready, download the notes, and then deliver to students via a shared folder on Google drive. It is a bit cumbersome, but our staff is stretched thin, and we don’t have the resources to train students to do this independently right now. In addition, students only have links to Zoom sessions…with NTE, you need to upload audio or video – which I have access to as an administrator for Zoom.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Here’s my issue….in NTE you select the turnaround time you want (24, 48 or 72-hour turnaround). This not only lets the notetakers know how quickly the notes should be completed, but NTE uses this setting for invoicing. We have selected the 24 hour turnaround time. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">There are times when the notes are not completed within the 24 hour turnaround time, and my argument is that we should not be charged the premium cost if the notes are not delivered within the 24 hour timeframe. NTE knows exactly when the video/audio was uploaded, and they know exactly when the notes are completed and the email sent indicating the notes are ready. The invoicing should be based on these timestamps, not on the turnaround-time setting selected (in my opinion). </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Of course, if students were doing this independently, we would not know how often NTE does not fulfill the notes within the 24 hour timeframe because they would not take the time to note the times for the various steps. I have actually taken the time to note the various timestamps along the way. In the beginning of the semester, NTE was pretty good with sticking to the 24 hour timeframe. In November, however, 73.5% of the videos uploaded did not adhere to the 24 hours, and in many cases, took longer than 72 hours. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">My questions for those of you using NTE:</p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Were you aware that the setting for turnaround time is also used for invoicing?</p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Do you think the pricing charged to your university should be on actual time it takes for delivery of notes or based on the initial setting for the turnaround time?</p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Does it concern you that you are being overcharged by NTE if the notes are not delivered within the desired timeframe? </p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><span style="mso-list:Ignore">o<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>It may not seem like a lot, but if you add up one or two classes here and there, multiply by the number of students you have using NTE and then think about the all universities across the country using NTE…the figure seems quite significant to me.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Curious about your thoughts and opinions…</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p><p class="MsoNormal">Cassandra</p><p class="MsoNormal">Humboldt State University</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
