Automatic Captioning – easier than it used to be

Adding closed captions to your recordings is one of the best things you can do for viewers, and not just those with hearing problems. But, now you can also do so in real time so students don’t have to wait from captions to become available, they can read them while you’re talking.

Lectures Online in the School of Nursing

‘Lectures Online’ is a new system that has been added to 4 of our 1st-floor classrooms* that will automatically record your lectures and add them to your Canvas course.

Beginning with the Fall 2020 semester, rooms equipped with Lectures Online will automatically record any signals that are sent to the projector and the speakers in the room. The recordings will be published in Canvas automatically, shortly after your class. All you need to do is remember to use one of the wireless microphones in the room.

Whatever is projected onto the screen and whatever is spoken into the microphone will be recorded. However, there is no camera pointed at you or your students.

Signing In to Zoom to Join a Meeting

Over the last several days, UT has made several changes to the security in Zoom to prevent unwanted visitors in our classes and meetings. And, that has also resulted in some confusion when trying to log in, join meetings, and more.

To try and alleviate some of that possible confusion, the screenshots below show you what it should look like when you log in and what options you should select.
