Are you there – remote polling with Turning Point

But not with clickers but any device using Responseware.  Now that first summer session is over and we are halfway finished with 11 week summer session why not try something different.

Some tips while doing this via a webconference you can allow students to send private chats and then you can review the questions at a break time during your session.  Have a muddiest point discussion in your LMS for students to express.  Ask one question at a time, don’t ask too many rapidly.

Contact OET to try it out or check out this Webinar from Turning Technologies and for information on using the product.

 

The question I keep getting asked. . .

Where will my Mediasite recordings go when Blackboard is no longer available?

The answer is all recordings that are done using either the Classroom Lecture System or Desktop Recording live in the Mediasite server, it’s own entity separate from Blackboard and Canvas.  You can review all your Mediasite recordings, both classroom and desktop by going to My Mediasite.  You can find more information about working with My Mediasite at this blog http://blog.ecu.edu/sites/medrec/mdr/

Please note links copied from BB may have to be updated in Canvas.  When the recording request from comes out please indicate if you need updates.

You can specify Respondus Monitor for use with any Canvas or Blackboard quiz. First create the quiz, then specify Respondus Monitor in the Respondus options.

Recommendations

  • Add information to your syllabus about using Respondus Monitor.
  • Require that students first take a low-stakes practice quiz using Respondus. This ensures their computer and other devices are properly set up to use Respondus Monitor.
  • Inform students that extra time is required to complete the Respondus Monitor setup.

Create and Deploy the Test in Blackboard

Before setting up Respondus Monitor, create and deploy the quiz to Blackboard.
