Content Creation

Please contact your college's teaching and learning consultant for help in adjusting your courses or creating online content. A few basic ideas are listed below:

Record yourself presenting your lecture using Zoom, and post the video in one of the following ways:

• Streamed on Zoom (see Managing Cloud Recordings)
• Upload to and post a link to the video file on Box
• If you are using Canvas, you can upload the video in the rich text editor.

Record short lecture “snippets” using Digital Dialog

• Present and pose questions using Text, Video, or Audio
• Create a discussion prompt once and share it with the class, with small groups, or with individuals for one-on-one discussions

Create PowerPoint Slides with narration and share them by:

• Posting on a Content Page or in a Digital Dialog Discussion
• Exporting the files as an MP4 and uploading the video file on Box then linking to the video on a Content page in Learning Suite (If you are using Canvas, you can upload the video in the rich text editor).
• Posting the video or PowerPoint file on Box and posting a link on a Content page in Learning Suite

Recommendations and Suggestions

• Asynchronous doesn’t have to mean “not interactive.” Consider ways to engage students using discussion boards, chat rooms, TA labs, homework groups, etc.
• Asynchronous can take on a lot of different formats:
  • Lecture style videos
  • Screen captures
  • Interactive content & quizzes
  • Preparation ahead of time and then some interaction with the professor, TAs, or other students
