Federal funding for GURIEC ended October 2016. This website will be maintained for at least 2 years, but will not be updated. All videos on the GURIEC YouTube channel will remain available. We encourage you to download any materials you would like to keep. Through April 2017, you may still email guriec@gallaudet.edu with any questions. |
The GURIEC Video Interpreting Repository hosts a collection of articles, discussion, and other material and media dealing with Video Relay Service (VRS) interpreting and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI).
