Over the past month, I have received some cries for help when it comes to successfully recording videos and adding subtitles to them.<\/p>\n

We know that the use of video is a really significant part of teaching and they have really positive benefits for both students and staff. Videos are engaging, accessible, reusable, cost-effective, great revision aids, and more!!!<\/p>\n

However, they can be difficult and time-consuming to make if you don\u2019t use the right tool for the job!<\/p>\n

So here is a brief introduction to three tools available to you here at Lancaster that allow you to record videos. Hopefully this will help you choose the right one for you:<\/p>\n

Microsoft Teams<\/h2>\n

Teams is for teams<\/u>. It is a collaboration tool where you can record a meeting of multiple people who share screens and discuss a topic. You might be using Teams if you need to record a meeting for posterity or you used it to record a \u201clive lecture\u201d for distance learners. You would then upload this video to eStream as Teams meetings stored in OneDrive will expire after 60 days. You are able to create the subtitles in eStream<\/a> using Microsoft Azure if needed. From there, you can upload the video to Moodle using an activity such as the \u2018Page\u2019 or \u2018Text and Media\u2019 activity.<\/p>\n

However, Teams isn\u2019t useful when it comes to recording an individual person who might be presenting content solo to create an asynchronous resource for students. The faff of uploading a video created in Teams, then uploading it to eStream and then uploading it to Moodle is quite something! This is made more time-consuming when you are trying to upload the transcript<\/a> or captions<\/a> along with it. Just record a video like this directly into eStream (or you could use Panopto \u2013 see below). Save yourself some time!<\/p>\n

You can find further information on the Recording Microsoft Teams meetings page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

eStream<\/h2>\n

You can use eStream for both recording and storing videos. Students and staff can use it and it integrates well with Moodle which is why it is recommended for students who need to record and upload a video as part of their assignments.<\/p>\n

If you are recording a one-off video, such as a \u2018Welcome to the Course\u2019 style introduction, eStream is the best tool for the job. You can record using eStream, add subtitles automatically through Microsoft Azure (available in eStream), and then upload to Moodle. You can embed the video on a course page or add it using a Moodle activity such as the \u2018Page\u2019 or \u2018Text and Media Area\u2019 (look for the little green \u2018e\u2019 icon in the text editor in the activity settings).<\/p>\n

More information and training on how to use eStream<\/a> can be found in the portal.<\/p>\n

Panopto<\/h2>\n

Panopto is our lecture capture system which is used within lecture theatres however, the software can also be downloaded onto your laptop for use for recording lectures, introductions and other educational videos. This can be done via AppsAnywhere<\/a>. Panopto has the added bonus of being able to add quizzes and YouTube videos to your recordings. It can also record more than one screen\/input at once if needed. Again, this is a great option if you are recording a video on your own without a \u2018Team\u2019 but need to share it via Moodle for your students using the Panopto activity. You can also generate captions automatically in Panopto.<\/p>\n

More information and training on how to use Panopto<\/a> can be found in the portal.<\/p>\n

As always, feel free to get in touch with myself (Liz Walkden<\/a>) or the ISS Digital Learning Team via the help centre <\/span><\/a>with any questions about video production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
