Online teaching

When students participate in teaching at the same time as you. Other words used about this, are streaming, live webinar and synchronous teaching. 

• Blackboard Collaborate 
• Zoom 

Video can be used in teaching in many different ways. Several have tried recording traditional lectures, but often it gives more benefit to students if you break up the lecture into short videoes instead of a long lecture. Smaller videoes are easier to integrate into a holistic teaching program, and can be used more flexibly afterwards.

1. Record video

• Recommended from home office: Blackboard Collaborate, Panopto or PowerPoint when recording from your PC. 
• Recommended at campus: You can use NTNU's studioes eller some of NTNU's auditoriums to record your lecture. 
• Alternative: Record sessions in Zoom. In addition, Camtasia (Norwegian only) or Snagit (Norwegian only) can be used for screen and camera recording.  

2. Edit video

• Recommended: In Panopto you can trim or remove sections of a video, add a quiz, and subtitle videos. You can add PDFs and embed web pages in the video. It is possible to put together clips in Panopto, but for this we recommend Camtasia
• Alternative: Camtasia (Norwegian only) is an easy editing tool for video with some extra functionality compared with Panopto. Snagit (Norwegian only) is mainly for screenshots, but you can also make simple short videoes and for example convert to GIF. Adobe Premiere Pro is a very advanced tool for professional editing that all NTNU employees have access to.

3. Upload video

• Recommended: Panopto eller MyMediasite 

4. Share or embed in Blackboard

• Recommended: Blackboard
• How to link or embed video from Mymediasite in Blackboard
• How to share Panopto video in Blackboard (link will come).
