To assist faculty teaching online, the Media Studio in Knight Library is available as an instructional media space supporting Canvas and Panopto.
The 20' x 40' space has Learning Glass, a green screen, basic furniture and set pieces to create spaces that facilitate a variety of teaching styles and instructional delivery modes.
Learning Glass is a powerful tool for creating dynamic video presentations. Instructors simply write on the glass as if they were using a whiteboard, which recreates classroom presentations for online learning experiences. Unlike writing on a whiteboard, however, the instructor faces the camera, supporting the perception that the instructor is speaking directly to students.
Presentations can be recorded directly to Panopto or your laptop, which can be easily brought into an online course site for students to view.
Green screen technology allows instructors to record dynamic presentations where the presenter is able to "stand inside" PowerPoint slides and engage with material in a unique way. This is the same technology that allows weather forecasters to present distinctive views of the weather news.
The EdTech suite is designed for next level content creation in a quiet space. High quality mics, cameras, lights and accessories are available along with a Mac and Windows PC.
One on one consults are available for any media related topic including introduction and advanced editing for Panopto, improving your camera presence, working with audio, special technical set ups as well as ideas for managing your video workflow.
