*Important note: If Morbid Anatomy is storing your recorded classes on our Vimeo, please use WeTransfer or DropBox to send them to us, making sure to do so immediately after class so we have time to upload them and get you the link to send to your students. Also please change the filename to read name class, instructor, session (e.g. Manifesting from the Beyond, Joanna Ebenstein, Class Two) If you upload your recordings yourself, great; also fine if you share the zoom link if applicable, but be aware if that link expires and, if so, when. We suggest making the videos available at least 6 to 8 weeks, thus giving students who only watch your class as a recorded video time to do so.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions about this: Education@MorbidAnatomy.org
