Video lectures and/or podcasts

Using UmU play and other software, you can get your video lecture or podcast up and running within a few days.

You have the following choices:

• Record your presentation using our equipment with expert assistance on standby in the ICT Studio or in the ICT Coach's office. Here is an example called The Language System
• Book an appointment with the ICT Coach and learn how to do this on your own laptop - in your office or your home. If available, you can borrow a microphone or headset
• Learn how to use UmU Play to record then stream your video lecture or podcast via Cambro or Moodle. Instructions here (in Swedish)
• Instead of making lectures yourself ... get students to make video lectures for each other. This is called Student Generated Content. This is example of instructions for students about how to do this

Online seminars or lecture (in real time)

Umeå University uses ZOOM for real time lectures or seminars. The capacity for same time users has been massively increased recently to cope with the overload. Try a demo meeting with the ICT staff at Humlab. We can help in the following ways:

• Get you up and running to be able to use Zoom to have online seminars with your students where you can see and hear them in real time. See this example here
• Use Zoom to lecture in real time. You can share your computer screen and present your powerpoint or other program
• Learn to use Zoom yourself or use our facilities at Humlab to have your lecture or seminar online.
• Provide you with instructions to give to your students for a successful seminar(lecture

Other tools for online collaboration with text, audio and video

We have other online tools used at tutors at Humfak. These tools allow students to video/audio record themselves and to provide feedback to each other. We have licenses and can get more user licenses for tolls such as: Padlet, Voicethread, and others.

It is not possible to go into detail here. They can be presented in an online Zoom seminar in the coming days/weeks. On viewing them you may feel inspired to use them with your students. We can help:

• Set it up for you in Cambro or Moodle
• Provide you with instructions to give to your students
