Russ Lichterman Educational Technology Specialist Video lectures in Blackboard:The Cheap and Easy Way!
How does lecture capture work? • Instructional segments are recorded in the classroom • Videos are stored for student retrieval later • ET, AV, or IT departments deploy and manage equipment, personnel, and storage medium for videos
Potential problems… • In-class recording often requires complicated expensive equipment • Also requires trained technical personnel • More courses/instructors than equipment available • Do-it-yourself options often have poor audio and video quality (camera in back of the room)
Why bother with video? • Bring dynamic, engaging content to online and hybrid courses • Offer accommodations to students for illness, emergency, inclement weather, etc. • Showcase guest speakers or special presentations • Offer alternatives to “read this article, these textbook pages, etc.”
Why bother with video? • Students can review material at their own pace • Video segments let online students have more of a face-to-face experience • Students can watch videos at home and come to class prepared to discuss the material (Flipped Classroom) • Instructors can share content with other instructors – don’t reinvent the wheel!
How does our version work? • Instructors choose the ideal topics/portions of their in-class lectures for recording (5-25 minutes are ideal) • With 20 minutes of training on the Swivl instructors are ready to go • Videos are recorded locally on to the iPad and can be shared directly to YouTube, saved to the gallery, or uploaded to cloud-based video storage
How does our version work? • Instructors set up the Swivl in class • Record the segments live in front of students • Send them to Kaltura, YouTube, or other cloud video host • Add to Blackboard Courses
How does our version work? • Adding to a Bb course via Kaltura using the Faculty Repository:
How does our version work? • Adding to a Bb course via YouTube using embed code:
What does it accomplish? • Give distance learners more of a face-to-face experience • Allow for “flipped classroom” segments to be created from traditional courses • Bring dynamic, engaging content to any student – traditional or at a distance.
