Training and Professional Development

  • CETL's Ed Tech Workshops

    Create Videos for Your Class
    Friday, October 12, 10:00-11:15
    Rowe 319 and Online

    Some advantages of using video in your class include the following:

    • Provides a way for students to review material

    • Provides instructors another way to present content (i.e. flip the classroom)

    • Record video “microlectures” before or after class to help with difficult concepts

    Using UConn’s video platform, Kaltura, you can record lectures, store videos, create quizzes and share them in your HuskyCT course. In addition students can use it for homework assignments or for discussions. The training will cover how faculty, staff or students can create, upload, store, edit and share videos. It will be available in person in Rowe 319 and online via Collaborate.

    Intro to DIY Closed Captions
    Tuesday, October 16, 10:30-11:30
    Rowe 319 & Online

    We will explore two applications (Kaltura and YouTube) that can be used to create closed captions for your videos.  Both use computer-generated captioning which often requires that captions be edited by the video owner to improve accuracy.  Research has shown that closed captions can benefit all learners as they watch the video content.  Learn more about it here: https://er.educause.edu/articles/2017/8/a-rising-tide-how-closed-captions-can-benefit-all-students
