Audio/Video Media Production
Our AV Multimedia Developer works with faculty in our approved programs to produce professional-grade audio and video pieces for their courses, including talking-head videos, interviews, interactive lecture recordings and podcasts. We shoot on-location and in our recording studio, located at Malloy Hall 106 on the Hilltop.
The Learning Glass is a presentation system made of clear glass surrounded by LED lighting. It is an illuminated, see-through whiteboard. Students are able to observe the nuances of problem-solving while their instructor teaches facing the camera, maintaining a "social presence" vital to student engagement.
At USF, the Learning Glass is primarily used for short videos of graphic demonstrations and worked-examples for online, hybrid, and other technology-enhanced classes. Other universities using the Learning Glass have found success in teaching STEM courses.
The Process: The instructor is recorded writing on the Glass with neon-colored whiteboard markers. The image is then flipped horizontally in a video-editing program, output to a video file, and provided to the instructor via our video streaming server.
