Streaming Video / Adobe Presenter (Breeze) / Wimba Overview

This workshop acquaints UMB online faculty members with the uses of streaming video, Breeze and and synchronous conferencing as ways to enhance a UMB Corporate, Continuing and Distance Education (CCDE) on-line course. All online instructors teaching within the UMB CCDE online program for the first time are required to attend a session of the Streaming Video / Adobe Presenter (Breeze)/ Wimba Overview Workshop.

During the streaming video overview, we will demonstrate examples of effective streaming videos, discuss how to engage students through video, and offer tips and techniques for the best use of streaming video for online instruction. During this workshop, we will also review university policies associated with compliance with digital copyright laws and we will go over the process of obtaining written copyright releases and digital licensing

During the overview of narrated PowerPoints and Breeze, we will show you some examples of streaming video PowerPoint Presentations with added narration, and demonstrate how to create narrated PowerPoint's using Breeze, a server-based hosting system that allows faculty account-holders to convert and upload Powerpoint files to the web, making them available for easy student access.

In the Synchronous Conferencing overview, we will examine UMB online faculty members' historical use of Centra Symposium, an online environment that enables faculty to host synchronous learning events. Centra Symposium, a licensed product currently in use by UMB online faculty, represents one of a class of synchronous collaboration tools that include audio and video presentation functions, live interactive discussion and text feedback functions, content presentations that make use of PowerPoint slides, whiteboard and markup capabilities, application sharing and web touring capabilities.
