Loom

Loom is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED cross-platform screen and/or cam recorder. It’s quick to install, easy to use, and free to all faculty and students.  It allows users to capture any combination of camera, microphone and computer screen to easily share with others.  Best of all, Loom includes cloud hosting and storage of your content, eliminating the need to use YouTube for storage/distribution.

Flipped or Blended Learning

Easy video tools to help you focus on what matters – your students.  Create tutorials or lessons for classroom instruction.  Share videos with students so they can learn on their own. This allows you to use your in-class time more efficiently.

• • Improve student outcomes: Share videos to prepare your students for in class discussion. Have your students learn the subject before entering the class. Drive deeper conversations and understanding during classroom sessions.

  • Create on-demand classroom: Capture lessons and share your videos. Students have the flexibility to watch (and rewatch) when they have questions. Give recaps of key learnings to reinforce lessons, before students jump into homework. One of your students is out sick? Students can still be successful, watching videos to catch up on missed work.

  • Connect with students: Build deeper relationships with your students through video. Capture your unique personality and teaching style to connect with students. Let them hear your voice and see your face! Go ahead, have a conversation reach your students outside of the classroom.

Lecture Capture

Capture your lectures so students can watch them anytime. Videos are perfect for students who need time to review course material or were unable to make it to class. Share video links, add content to an online course, or create a channel.

• • Extend your reach: Keep everyone up to speed with video! Perfect for students who are unable to make class, or students who need extra time to review class topics.

• Save time with video:  Create and organize a library of lecture videos. Reuse lecture videos for flipped lessons. Add content to an online course, or create a channel and share them with the class.

Student Assignments

Get creative with student projects and assignments.  Have your students create their own videos to unleash their creativity and communicate their ideas. Have them create their own how-to video, or partner with other students to create a group project. 

• • Homework for a new generation: Assign videos to students and connect one-on-one outside the classroom in a format that works. Use videos for class prep, allowing you to cover more content in the classroom. Students can watch and re-watch videos if they have questions. No need to wait until class!

  • Get creative!  Have your students create their own videos to unleash their creativity and communicate their ideas. Have them create their own how-to video, or partner with other students to create a group project. The possibilities are endless with video.
