Create Videos for Your Class

Tuesday, May 21st, 2019

01:00 PM - 02:30 PM

Storrs Campus
ROWE 319 & online

Some advantages of using video in your class include the following:

• Provides a way for students to review material
• Provides instructors another way to present content (i.e. flip the classroom)
• Record video “microlectures” before or after class to help with difficult concepts

Using UConn’s video platform, Kaltura, you can record lectures, store videos, create quizzes and share them in your HuskyCT course. In addition students can use it for homework assignments or for discussions. The training will cover how faculty, staff or students can create, upload, store, edit and share videos.

DIY Closed Captioning

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2019

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Storrs Campus
ROWE 319 & online

We will explore two applications (Kaltura and YouTube) that can be used to create closed captions for your videos. Both use computer-generated captioning which often requires that captions be edited by the video owner to improve accuracy. Research has shown that closed captions can benefit all learners as they watch the video content. Learn more about it here: https://er.educause.edu/articles/2017/8/a-rising-tide-how-closed-captions-can-benefit-all-students.
