For an online course, record an introduction of who you are and the services you can provide for students in the class.
Ensure that your profile is up to date and includes your picture.
Be proactive in reaching out to faculty in your departments who are teaching online courses. View Miami University Courses and select "Online Course/Distance Learning" under the Attribute category to view the course being offered online for a particular term & subject.
Use this Online Course Guide Template as a basis for creating a guide for an online course.
Camtasia is a robust video recording software that you can use to create tutorials for your students, classes and LibGuides. You can record yourself and your screen with audio which can then easily be captioned for accessibility.
You can download Camtasia by going to Applications--Self Service
Contact Andy Revelle or Jennifer Natale if you would like to learn how to use Camtasia. You can also watch how-to videos through Atomic Learning.
Libraries' videos should be uploaded using Miami University Libraries' Vimeo account. Vimeo ensures higher quality and permanence of videos should a staff member leave. To upload your captioned video, contact Andy Revelle or Jason Michel to have your video uploaded to Miami University Libraries' account. This will place your video on the MUL website and enable you to copy the code into your libguide.
