November 2020 Online Workshops from MSU IT
November is all about media creation. We will be hosting two workshops around the creation and distribution of video and other media content. Each of the two workshops will occur twice in November. In the two workshops we will cover the phases of video production and provide some help tips to get the best quality video possible. We will also explore basic and advanced tools that you can use to create your videos. All the tools that we explore are free to use, either due to a license that MSU has purchased, or because of they are free to everyone. We will also make sure to make time for any questions that you may have around planning and recording techniques or using the tools.

Remote Teaching with Lectures
Lecture
Lectures can be created and offered using a combination of Office 365 (PowerPoint), Zoom, MediaSpace, and D2L. This will allow you to give and record your presentation (adding narrations to PowerPoint and local recording in Zoom) and deliver it to students (uploading video to MediaSpace and adding video content to D2L). We recommend you schedule online sessions during a time your course already occupies. Videos may be recorded via Zoom and then streamed to students via MSU MediaSpace and D2L.
Lectures can be created and offered using a combination of Office 365 (PowerPoint), Zoom, MediaSpace, and D2L. This will allow you to give and record your presentation (adding narrations to PowerPoint and local recording in Zoom) and deliver it to students (uploading video to MediaSpace and adding video content to D2L).
