Video Production | Center For Teaching Excellence | SIU

Hi, I’m Gregory Wendt, video producer in CTE. In this short video, I will introduce you to how I can help you put video content into your courses.

CTE offers several tools to assist with teaching, especially online teaching. You might use ZOOM for live or recorded lectures and interactivity, or Echo360 for recording PowerPoints and screen captures along with your voice and optional image. And off course D2L offers numerous features, including Virtual Classroom, which is an alternate to ZOOM. 

However, if you find you need a more sophisticated video recording--possibly one that requires editing, you can schedule that with me. For example, have a look at some of the videos here: PLB320 Plant Biology. They are a semester’s worth of lab sessions that enabled the course to be offered online. Obviously, recordings such as these require more time and planning than simply talking to a webcam, but if your courses require demonstrations of this nature--in any subject matter, I can help you achieve your goals. There are many other videos we have produced that you can watch here: vimeo.com/user31365405 You can reach me at 618 453 3860 or at gwendt@siu.edu 

You can also find more information at: cte.siu.edu or by calling or emailing appropriate staff: cte.siu.edu/staff/index.php

Good luck in your transition to online teaching.
