Recording a mini-lecture, problem set or other course content
Recording a mini-lecture, problem set or other course content
Keep the camera on as much as possible. Seeing your face, even in short videos, can help keep students engaged.
Breakdown content into short chunks. Five to eight minutes is ideal; anything longer loses effect. It's better to have multiple short videos than one long video. For further research on video duration in online courses, read here.
If you are recording videos from your office/home upload content to your gDrive or YouTube and link to or embed in Moodle. Please DO NOT UPLOAD videos directly to the Moodle server (even if this was your operational method prior to today).
Internet Explorer is not a recommended browser for online video uses; please use Chrome or Firefox.

We will have recording stations set up in the library with assistance. Scheduling and details are being worked out and will be communicated here as they are finalized.

YouTube Live: because YouTube is a Google product, we all have YouTube accounts associated with our CoeMail account. If you have NEVER logged into YouTube with your CoeMail credentials, you'll need to login 24 hours prior to recording your first video (so Google confirm you've got the right stuff!). Just go to youtube.com and click Sign In in the upper right hand corner.
The video to the left takes you through the step-by-step process of recording a live video via YouTube. You could use a live video to connect with students in real time by emailing them the link to the livestream once you've started it; they would be able to send you messages in the chat but you would not see video or hear audio from other participants.
Video is stored in YouTube, share the link or embed video in Moodle.
Loom is a free screen and video recording software designed to support the creation of short instructive and easily constructed videos. You can use Loom as a Chrome extension or you can downloaded application on your desktop; once downloaded, click the Loom icon to start recording; your webcam will create a picture-in-picture with whatever screen application you choose to record. If you're using Chrome, click the Loom icon in your Chrome toolbar. The video to the left is a "how-to-use-Loom" via the Chrome extension.
Google Slides: build slides for your presentation or lecture. Once the slides are created you can use Loom (or any other screen recorder) to record your lecture and share it online.
Loom benefits: video is stored on Loom; you link or embed in Moodle to distribute to students.
Voice Recording is a built-in feature in MS Powerpoint. If you have a built in microphone, PowerPoint will find the mic for us with recording. If you do NOT have a built in microphone, we will have mics available for us. (more tutorial information coming)
Recording on your phone: A simple way to record a short video lesson is to put your phone in tripod (or make-shift tripod) and record yourself in front of a whiteboard.
Make sure you have the YouTube app installed; and once installed log in to YouTube using your CoeMail credentials (if you get your email on your phone, YouTube will already know you).
In the top bar, tap the camera icon and then choose record. After you're done recording you will be able to trim the beginning and end of the clip.
Provide a title; change listing from Public to Unlisted if preferred (Public = it can be found in a search engine; Unlisted = viewer has to get the link from you).
Tap UPLOAD in the upper right-hand corner.
Open the video to copy/paste URL into Moodle, Google Classroom, or other sharing method.
We will have some phone mount-tripods like the image to the left for faculty to use for recording.
Zoom (video conferencing tool with tips on the Virtual Meetings page here) can also be used to record mini-lectures for individual viewing. Here's a tutorial created by Arizona State University that walks you through the steps (with video): Using Zoom for Lecture Capture.
