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
Off er accommodations to students for illness, emergency, inclement weather, etc.
Showcase guest speakers or special presentations
Off er 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 c lass
Record the segments l ive in front of students
Send them to Kaltura, YouTube, or other c loud video host
Add to Blackboard Courses

WHAT DOES IT ACCOMPLISH? Give distance
learners more of a face-to-face experience
Allow for “fl ipped classroom” segments to be created from traditional courses
Bring dynamic, engaging content to any student – traditional or at a distance.
