The services offered by our Web Presentation team include:
Tegrity is a complete solution for multimedia in learning, enabling instructors to effortlessly create and deliver multimedia from inside or outside the classroom. Students benefit from the resulting browser-based lecture that is available on demand. Since 1999, faculty at Kansas State University has used Tegrity to create and archive lectures to help further student learning.
To create and archive lecture, faculty must use equipment such as Tegrity Cart, Tegrity portable tablet, wireless microphone, HiVid, Web camera, camcorder or document camera. If needed, faculty can checkout Tegrity equipment.
For more information about Tegrity, please see the WPS Support website.
Wimba is a real-time collaboration tool so that groups can meet online for lectures, virtual office hours, review sessions, meetings, interviews, and more. It is available by accessing K-State Online or Axio. Horizon Wimba utilizes multi-way audio (VoIP) to send voice through the Internet instead of using standard phone lines. All students and instructors need is are speakers, a microphone and a solid Internet connection to communicate as if they were face to face. The audio is nearly instantaneous, regardless of location.
Some Features of Wimba include:
Check out the Wimba Quick Reference Guide (PDF) for tips on getting started. Wimba technical support and training is available by contacting the Office of Mediated Education's web presentations services coordinator.
Accordent is a complete classroom capture solution that is fully integrated into the room itself. The Accordent Capture Station seamlessly records and synchronizes audio, video and data output from any presentation device (notebook PC, document camera, smart board, etc.) and instantly turns it into an online rich media presentation. Students benefit from the web-based player with the instructor video and everything that the instructor showed on the computer. Accordent is great for showing software or creating any type of training to be captured for on demand playback. Please contact the Office of Mediated Education's web presentations services coordinator to make an appointment and for more information.
A podcast is a digital media file that is pushed to end-users over the Internet so that they access the file on their computers or portable media players, like iPods. Many educators are using podcasts as a way to distribute lectures and other course work and information so that students can access and listen outside of the classroom. The WPS coordinator can help faculty create, edit, and distribute podcasts. Please contact the Office of Mediated Education's web presentations services coordinator to make an appointment and for more information.
