Instructional Design & Technology

Occasionally, you or your students may be unable to make the trip into Camden. Here are some options you might consider:

1. If campus is officially closed, you may not be permitted to hold a required alternative class. (Is this true? I haven’t yet found an official policy statement on this.)
2. If you’ll be in the classroom, but want to give your students the ability to watch a class recording later
   1. schedule the in-classroom RUCams system to record your class session
3. If you’ll be off campus, but want your students to join you live for an online class: use the Canvas Conference tool which uses a system called BigBlueButton (similar to WebEx, Zoom,  GoToMeeting, Skype, etc.)
   1. How do I create a conference in a course?
   2. How do I record a conference?
   3. How do I start a conference?
   4. and for your students: How do I join a conference?
4. If you want to simply record a lecture, which could be a video of you speaking directly to the camera OR a narrated slideshow: use the KalturaCapture tool licensed by Rutgers and linked from Canvas
   1. How can I launch Kaltura from within my LMS? (Sakai or Canvas)
   2. audio only…
   3. to record yourself talking to camera: How can I record a video with my webcam using Kaltura?
   4. to record your slides with narration: How can I record a presentation/record my screen using Kaltura?
   5. How do I embed Kaltura media on a Canvas page?
