out for any any of that comments okay so welcome everyone to our session today developing an online course recording and the audio studio. 5 00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:45.780 Mia M Lamm: i'm neelam a senior instructional designer with the Center for teaching and learning here at the Bloomberg school of public health. 6 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:56.340 Mia M Lamm: And i'm joined by my cto colleagues renee dutton o'hara senior audio producer NED boyle audio producer they'll call another audio producer. 7 00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:08.070 Mia M Lamm: And also another missy to colleagues at pinkerton instructional designer who will be running our slides in our tech today Thank you so much amy and, of course, the link, who will be helping as well with our chat. 8 00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:10.650 Mia M Lamm: can go to the next slide. 9 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.440 Mia M Lamm: i'm very grateful to our. 10 00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:26.790 Mia M Lamm: faculty guest today, Dr Doug huff and Jennifer weinstock Luna for agreeing to share some of their thoughts on the recording experience with the studio later in a very informal chat. 11 00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:40.080 Mia M Lamm: will also have an opportunity for question and answer so we hope we can get everybody engaged at that time, and thank you, we really appreciate you joining us okay so let's dive in next slide please. 12 00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:49.680 Mia M Lamm: To set the stage today i'd like to mention that our focus for the session is developing online course audio material with our cto studio. 13 00:01:50.250 --> 00:02:08.190 Mia M Lamm: Specifically audio narration over PowerPoint slides or podcast style audio narration there are of course many other cto producing media formats, including video, we have a large production team and material recorded in our studio goes through technical writing audio editing and quality. 14 00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:14.100 Mia M Lamm: Control before even opens to students, we also have a medical illustrator and our team that can help a special. 15 00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:14.850 Paula Kent: Projects or. 16 00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:25.530 Mia M Lamm: Like a drawing or a graph and we won't go into a lot of detail of those pieces on or about developing PowerPoint slides specifically today more we're going to plan. 17 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:31.350 Mia M Lamm: To offer sessions on that in the future, so the different components of lecture development. 18 00:02:32.010 --> 00:02:45.540 Mia M Lamm: Many of the best practices shared today around the topics of all quote quality audio can be used for self recording and really recording audio in any capacity, so I hope, no matter what type of content you're planning to record. 19 00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:50.730 Mia M Lamm: or any role that you're in all of this information will be a benefit to you. 20 00:02:52.410 --> 00:02:53.970 Mia M Lamm: We can move to the next slide please. 21 00:02:58.650 --> 00:03:07.860 Mia M Lamm: So we're going to start with a very quick zoom poll, you should see a box pop up on your screen, please select the option that. 22 00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:10.560 looks. 23 00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:16.530 Mia M Lamm: yep just the option that works best for you. 24 00:03:43.230 --> 00:03:43.710 Okay. 25 00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:46.230 Mia M Lamm: We can go ahead and. 26 00:03:50.970 --> 00:03:52.770 Mia M Lamm: So I can everyone see the results. 27 00:03:53.790 --> 00:04:00.060 Mia M Lamm: yeah, so this is really great because it looks like we have a good number of people that have never recorded in the studio. 28 00:04:00.540 --> 00:04:08.520 Mia M Lamm: We also have some people that have done on both in person and virtual recording with our team and a few in between, but that's really nice because, as we start to have. 29 00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:14.520 Mia M Lamm: Some conversation and some question and answer will all be able to kind of share different perspectives both. 30 00:04:14.910 --> 00:04:26.730 Mia M Lamm: Questions having not been in the studio or not recorded virtually as well as on those more experienced that can share their expertise, or what worked best for them, so thank you so much for joining us on that. 31 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:44.520 Mia M Lamm: Okay, so let's just take one quick second and look at the big picture, the big picture is really the effect of online lecture right so good audio is a really important component of that. 32 00:04:45.150 --> 00:04:55.710 Mia M Lamm: Effective lectures can communicate the speaker's interest of a subject or their enthusiasm, which is definitely more engaging for the learner so sound plays a very large part in that. 33 00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:05.490 Mia M Lamm: Online recordings provide flexibility to view or review content at the students own pace, and this is particularly helpful for students whose first language is not English. 34 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.030 Mia M Lamm: planning a clear introduction and conclusion to the lecture emphasizes the legacy points of a lecture. 35 00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:20.910 Mia M Lamm: And will help students retain all of the important material and the finer points that you need them to take with them as knowledge retained after the course or for exams. 36 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:28.860 Mia M Lamm: And all of these elements are reasons to take care with the quality of your lecture material overall and our team is here to support your efforts. 37 00:05:30.450 --> 00:05:31.230 Next slide please. 38 00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:37.800 Mia M Lamm: So now i'll pass it turn a to explain what an audio producer is and what it will do what they do. 39 00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:51.090 Renee O'Hara: Thank you MIA happy to be here today and happy to see so many names and faces that we recognize and have worked with and names and faces of people, we hope to work with soon or to give some pointers to. 40 00:05:51.600 --> 00:06:01.200 Renee O'Hara: So what is an audio producer, we are often asked that here it is a very unique job, at least at Johns Hopkins it is, but an audio producer is out there all the time. 41 00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:10.530 Renee O'Hara: Producing records and other materials, but here at the Center for teaching and learning, we want to make your lecture the best it can be. 42 00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:16.770 Renee O'Hara: We work in partnership with the instructional designers that are working with you on your course and other members of. 43 00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:20.940 Renee O'Hara: To produce a seamless high quality lecture for you. 44 00:06:21.450 --> 00:06:31.530 Renee O'Hara: We manage the studio equipment and we manage the recording session so during this session we talk to you about the content, what is the lecture you're recording a new lecture brand new. 45 00:06:31.770 --> 00:06:39.840 Renee O'Hara: Are you recording a full replacement, are you a guest speaker for another course we go through the content and we look for accuracy and we look for. 46 00:06:40.170 --> 00:06:49.290 Renee O'Hara: Whether you're describing graphs or pictures, for instance, the picture here is of the audio producers and we are downstairs at the school in the basement studio in this picture. 47 00:06:50.130 --> 00:06:53.310 Renee O'Hara: Looking at some materials and then after your session. 48 00:06:53.940 --> 00:07:02.550 Renee O'Hara: we're the ones that are responsible for turning in all the files, so that you can leave and generally We always say we want you to leave happy we don't have you leaving and saying. 49 00:07:02.850 --> 00:07:16.830 Renee O'Hara: I really don't like the way I recorded that so we're going to turn in the audio file from the session we're going to turn into PowerPoint that we might have made changes with you during the session and we're going to take notes throughout the section throughout the session next slide. 50 00:07:19.320 --> 00:07:30.540 Renee O'Hara: So an example of the notes that happened during the recording or right here on this page you'll see in the PDF several cues we've taken your PowerPoint and we broken it into. 51 00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:40.500 Renee O'Hara: handouts and notes for ourselves so we're we're looking at one time during the session at the audio file that's working we're looking at you in the studio or on zoom. 52 00:07:40.770 --> 00:07:44.880 Renee O'Hara: we're looking at the PowerPoint file, you have set and then we're looking at our notes and in those notes. 53 00:07:45.270 --> 00:07:56.100 Renee O'Hara: We are taking notes for each audio cue every time you to start a slide and work through it every time you do a retake maybe we've talked in between about a better way to describe a graph or an image or. 54 00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:59.430 Renee O'Hara: i've asked you to spell out an acronym or another producer has. 55 00:07:59.910 --> 00:08:13.650 Renee O'Hara: And so we work through that and then these notes are turned in to the team after and that's how the instructional designer and the tech writer and the audio editors know what to do with it after you've left the studio next slide. 56 00:08:16.650 --> 00:08:26.430 Renee O'Hara: So why do we want such good quality audio as MIA referred to earlier and we're all using our mics here today we're lucky enough to have them. 57 00:08:27.150 --> 00:08:38.640 Renee O'Hara: We want good quality audio people listen better when the audio is good, you know when something's not good you're distracted you're not engaged you want it to stop if you hear a home or a noise. 58 00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:46.200 Renee O'Hara: I want to thank all the Faculty and speakers who have heard me say in the last year and a half, could you turn off your dryer could you turn off your air conditioner. 59 00:08:46.410 --> 00:08:57.690 Renee O'Hara: Could you do a retake your garbage truck is out there, so we want it to sound really good, and we want to eliminate background noises you can see an image here a senior audio producer Jamie so naegleria. 60 00:08:58.050 --> 00:09:03.690 Renee O'Hara: Working on audio and testing equipment in the room he's just not in the meeting with us today, but he's worked with a lot of you and. 61 00:09:04.020 --> 00:09:12.060 Renee O'Hara: All of our goals as producers is to make sure you are happy with the audio and your product when you're happy with it. 62 00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:17.820 Renee O'Hara: It has much more sustainability, you might want to use it for a future offering you might want to use it for another course. 63 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:32.160 Renee O'Hara: And as me also said, there are some other benefits, you might be doing some public speaking and go wow that tip the producer gave me it's going to help me in this live presentation on doing so, I have a couple of samples i'd like to play for you so next slide. 64 00:09:33.420 --> 00:09:41.700 Renee O'Hara: This one is an example of using your internal laptop microphone versus recording in the audio studio. 65 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:58.440 Renee O'Hara: This is an example of an audio recording using the microphone on a typical laptop computer, and this is an example of audio recorded in one of our acoustically treated vocal booths in our cto studios I think the difference is pretty clear. 66 00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:11.100 Renee O'Hara: I think it is to thank you so much bill gall who you'll see and hear from later and he is an audio producer made that example, I have one more example on the next slide. 67 00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:20.340 Renee O'Hara: Because I mentioned that retakes are fine and any of you who have worked with any of us, we always tell you, if you do this in one take that's great, but if you do this intense takes. 68 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:36.480 Renee O'Hara: Also, great all of this will be removed by the audio editor is there such professional people and they're listening for every arm retake a comment by me everything, so now we have this before and after audio example with the editors. 69 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:42.420 Renee O'Hara: This is an example of what our audio editors can do for your presentation. 70 00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:55.890 Here is the here, let me start again here is the way, most people most people naturally sound, there will be pauses and. 71 00:10:56.580 --> 00:11:12.420 imperfections which is natural when you're speaking spontaneously when you're speaking spontaneously our audio editors will edit our audio editors will help you know smooth out your sound, so that you will will make your presentation. 72 00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:14.610 A bit smoother. 73 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.600 same audio only this time edited. 74 00:11:19.950 --> 00:11:33.270 Here is the way, most people naturally sound, there will be pauses and imperfections which is natural when you're speaking spontaneously or audio editors will make your presentation, a bit smoother. 75 00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:43.500 Renee O'Hara: Thank you NED boil another audio producer who prepared that that example for you to hear, we can go to the next slide amy. 76 00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:55.560 Renee O'Hara: So some of our recording options are here in the school on site, the basement studio that I mentioned before pictured here with net web 502. 77 00:11:55.830 --> 00:11:59.790 Renee O'Hara: And we have a row house studio here, where we work for the Center for teaching and learning. 78 00:12:00.150 --> 00:12:09.450 Renee O'Hara: At 2021 East monument street so if you're recording on site, we welcome you into our studios and now because of the pandemic. 79 00:12:09.750 --> 00:12:16.560 Renee O'Hara: We shut down on a Friday, we started again on a Monday with zoom recordings and the Faculty were very patient, as well as the staff. 80 00:12:16.830 --> 00:12:30.120 Renee O'Hara: So you can also record with us via zoom if you do record via zoom we do suggest using a good microphone because it makes a better recording but you're still going to be supported by a producer in either of these options. 81 00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:38.370 Renee O'Hara: Next slide, so I think it might be a good time now that we've talked about those options to go right to the studios. 82 00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:47.340 Renee O'Hara: and see what's going on, I think me you wanted me to mention that people should maybe look at this full screen instead of gallery because you'll get a better view. 83 00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:58.740 Renee O'Hara: Of the studios and first i'd like us to say hello to bill gall audio producer, he is in the row house studio and he will show you the equipment and talk a little bit for us Hello bill. 84 00:12:59.070 --> 00:13:08.940 Bill Gaal: RNA Thank you let me get my my notes up here, I want to make sure I cover everything as renee said, my name is bill goal i'm one of the audio producers here at CCL. 85 00:13:09.570 --> 00:13:15.840 Bill Gaal: What i'm gonna do today is i'm going to give you a very, very brief technical introduction to some of the equipment that we use. 86 00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:24.150 Bill Gaal: In our cto recording studios and today i'm going to focus primarily on the control room side of the studio, which is the room that i'm in right now, this is what you're seeing behind me. 87 00:13:24.780 --> 00:13:31.350 Bill Gaal: So, as I said, this is the control room, this is in the row House over here to our 2021 room house recording studio. 88 00:13:32.130 --> 00:13:38.520 Bill Gaal: So when you record what will happen is, you will come in and you will go into the booth directly behind me through the glass window. 89 00:13:38.970 --> 00:13:49.770 Bill Gaal: i'll be on this side with a mask on so when you're in that booth and that door is closed, you can take your mask off you're safe i'll keep my mask on as well the producers, the entire time so there's no issues there. 90 00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:54.510 Bill Gaal: Directly behind me i'm sort of pointing backwards, I have i'm pointing at something. 91 00:13:54.930 --> 00:14:02.430 Bill Gaal: You see, the the equipment that we use to make sure that the audio that we're capturing is broadcast quality audio so it's similar to something that you'd hear. 92 00:14:02.790 --> 00:14:07.590 Bill Gaal: On npr, for example, who really want to get the best sounding recording and we can get. 93 00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:13.230 Bill Gaal: The way our process works is that when you're in the vocal booth buying the glass they're delivering your lecture. 94 00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:19.710 Bill Gaal: Your voice passes through an extremely high quality microphone and then into this equipment on the desk behind me. 95 00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:30.210 Bill Gaal: So we use these microphone preamp live fires compressors equalizers all technical stuff that you don't need to worry about that we know how to make sure that it makes you sound amazing. 96 00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:36.510 Bill Gaal: From that gear your audio heads into one of these two computers, the one here on the left. 97 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:45.180 Bill Gaal: This is where we actually record the audio and for those of you that are familiar with audio editing software, we use pro tools to do our recording. 98 00:14:45.750 --> 00:14:53.490 Bill Gaal: So that's a very basic overview of the audio chain technical overview from the booth into the equipment into the computer. 99 00:14:54.060 --> 00:15:01.380 Bill Gaal: While you're in the booth recording i'm on this side monitoring all that, as well as making sure that as you're giving your lecture. 100 00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:15.360 Bill Gaal: You sound great obviously that you're accurate to your slides as they're moving through are you hitting your accessibility requirements and then it just sounds great and hits everything that you wanted to hit and the learning is really coming through. 101 00:15:16.470 --> 00:15:22.230 Bill Gaal: The other computer we have in here is our PowerPoint computer your PowerPoint will be loaded into that computer. 102 00:15:22.590 --> 00:15:30.570 Bill Gaal: Also display it on a large screen inside of the booth behind me so you'll have control of that during the entire lecture mouse keyboard or we also have a clicker. 103 00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:44.040 Bill Gaal: So that's how you will move through our record your audio or net or in there, and you have either a piece so there's your extremely surface level description of a control room cto recording studio OK back to your day thanks. 104 00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:55.110 Renee O'Hara: Thank you, Bill great job, yes, and I think as bill said, you know again we're here to make you comfortable I meant to show you with my mouse to, but I am alone in an office, but if i'm recording you i'd be keeping it on. 105 00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:13.200 Renee O'Hara: And you'd be safe in the bill, so now we'd like to switch to NED who is inside the vocal booth in WB 502 so that you can get a view of that, again, I would suggest you keep it on speaker view so that we can see and hear NED in full voice and full view Hello Hello NED. 106 00:16:14.490 --> 00:16:18.390 Ned Boyle: I renee thanks so much for that and Hello everyone thanks for joining us. 107 00:16:19.710 --> 00:16:25.290 Ned Boyle: It This is where we have you see your PowerPoint but it's important for me to mention. 108 00:16:26.010 --> 00:16:36.420 Ned Boyle: That this for us is not and for you, most importantly, is not an intimidating space, this is a relaxing space is a space where you can be alone with your material. 109 00:16:36.870 --> 00:16:46.740 Ned Boyle: And, is where we are, on the other side of the glass on this tremendously privileged front row seat to hear some of the most remarkable minds public health officials. 110 00:16:47.730 --> 00:16:56.610 Ned Boyle: researchers, scientists and in this room, we will work together and you'll hear me through the glass through a speaker which i'll be talking with you. 111 00:16:57.030 --> 00:17:10.710 Ned Boyle: And you can sit stand, we have our mics on a swivel and this hopefully will be a place where you can really get in touch with your material, and then we can discuss it and bring out the best. 112 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:21.900 Ned Boyle: of your teaching and I can't emphasize enough what a privilege, this is for us to be able to record you and we hope you enjoy your experience here, and that is our goal. 113 00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:29.910 Renee O'Hara: Thank you matt and I just want to point out to the Faculty that when they're sitting in the booth plenty of room for them to sit plenty of room to stand. 114 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:37.050 Renee O'Hara: And our guest speakers everyone listening our learners but the microphone also can be moved in and out make you quite comfortable. 115 00:17:37.350 --> 00:17:44.100 Renee O'Hara: And you have control and retakes and generally, we recommend you bring some water, because your throat might be dry after two hours of talking. 116 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:49.050 Renee O'Hara: So I think with that and the virtual tour with both NED and bill, thank you very much. 117 00:17:49.350 --> 00:18:04.200 Renee O'Hara: i'd like to turn it over to our faculty guest speakers who have joined us here today and we've had the privilege of recording both of them many times, not only on site, but remotely so please let's welcome Doug Hoff and Jennifer weinstock Luna. 118 00:18:05.610 --> 00:18:13.470 Renee O'Hara: Thank you so much for joining us and we thought that maybe they'd give us a few comments and share their experience recording how they prepare and what the experience is like. 119 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.060 Douglas Hough: Jen do you want to go first. 120 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:28.200 Jennifer Winestock Luna: Sure i'll go i'll go first um and actually I will say it is a very nice experience and NED was very. 121 00:18:29.430 --> 00:18:48.720 Jennifer Winestock Luna: inspiring and what he said about being a privilege to listen to us talk, but I will also say that I really had no experience recording like this before I started at at Hopkins doing these things and I did a lot of intense recording over one period of time. 122 00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:58.560 Jennifer Winestock Luna: i'll just give you a few things and I don't know how I suspect that people have different styles and how they prepare, but one of the things is I really prepare a lot. 123 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:06.810 Jennifer Winestock Luna: A lot for these sessions, and more so than if it were an in person or a synchronous class. 124 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:14.310 Jennifer Winestock Luna: So it's really carefully preparing the slides and thinking about accessibility and then I prepare a script. 125 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:29.880 Jennifer Winestock Luna: including making sure i'm very clear about what I want to say that i'm very precise direct and also that i'm describing graphs and photos and anything else I have in there for accessibility requirements, I also listen to some other people. 126 00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:34.650 Jennifer Winestock Luna: Doing recordings of that so I had an idea of the style. 127 00:19:36.030 --> 00:19:50.610 Jennifer Winestock Luna: And I eat the script is my own, so I do the best I can I prepare a lot and then sometimes when I write in front of the in the middle of the recording I realized that I don't like when I just. 128 00:19:50.670 --> 00:20:03.480 Jennifer Winestock Luna: wrote, and so I change it and usually the audio tape says here that's much better, because I have, I have the script actually underneath the powerpoints that I decided i'm not embarrassed that they're saying my script. 129 00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:17.400 Jennifer Winestock Luna: I will also say, since net is there and it's very flattering but I I do get lots of comments, even though i've been told that i'm easy to work with, but after lots and lots of sessions, that I was exhausted. 130 00:20:17.910 --> 00:20:25.410 Jennifer Winestock Luna: And I wasn't preparing everything, as well as I could net at one point, said that ending sucks and. 131 00:20:26.760 --> 00:20:35.130 Jennifer Winestock Luna: And I think about that every time i'm tired i'm getting to the end of my preparation and XX and then of course the fighters mean he says he was so interesting you were talking about this. 132 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:43.170 Jennifer Winestock Luna: Oh Okay, but i'll say that yeah that sounds so much better, so I had to re record it, but I really appreciate it and humorous. 133 00:20:44.820 --> 00:21:01.500 Jennifer Winestock Luna: humorous is good at some other things is that i'm careful about what I like what I wear and i'm giving you a demonstration, if you see this, this is what I should not be wearing while i'm recording and if you can hear it rattles so i'm careful about what I what I where. 134 00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:09.360 Jennifer Winestock Luna: I was also told that my delivery is better when I slowed down, so I learned how to do that. 135 00:21:10.050 --> 00:21:23.250 Jennifer Winestock Luna: also told that rambling is can't be edited out but pausing can so i've learned how to pause I do have to repeat things i'm told either I wasn't clear or something strange happened. 136 00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:33.660 Jennifer Winestock Luna: And in terms of virtual lead the remote recording that i've done, I have had to turn off my air conditioner I also had to pause when i'm in a condo and people were taking out the trash and being really noisy. 137 00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:41.040 Jennifer Winestock Luna: So, but it's good I really appreciate it, because now, I have material that I can work with and I can. 138 00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:57.870 Jennifer Winestock Luna: I can concentrate on on I don't have to be teaching the basics students can listen to the recordings and then we can refine things to go over their work in person, so i'm going to stop but it's a good it's a good experience and i'm happy to be here talking about it. 139 00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:08.280 Douglas Hough: Okay, let me, let me go i'm Doug Hoff faculty and health policy and management i'm an economist do all sorts of stuff. 140 00:22:08.790 --> 00:22:23.790 Douglas Hough: I have recorded three courses entirely online and i've also recorded parts of courses that I can then just sort of plug and play at different times, my first experience teaching was. 141 00:22:25.350 --> 00:22:25.710 Douglas Hough: I was. 142 00:22:28.050 --> 00:22:43.770 Douglas Hough: At one point very early on, like almost 20 years ago we were going to do a online version of the mph MBA program and I went okay fine I will then record my health economics courses, so we did that and only to find out that well the. 143 00:22:45.510 --> 00:22:51.900 Douglas Hough: The an online mph program mph MBA program didn't happen, so I had all these recordings. 144 00:22:52.320 --> 00:23:07.050 Douglas Hough: And I thought hey maybe I can use them for my other courses and and I didn't know what I was doing, then, but it was flipped classroom right, so I had the lectures, and so I remember one time I had the students episode. 145 00:23:08.430 --> 00:23:19.110 Douglas Hough: An evening course from 530 to 830 and I had the students watch the lecture or listen to a lecture beforehand, and then we spent the time talking and. 146 00:23:20.580 --> 00:23:27.720 Douglas Hough: One of the students said at the beginning of class, he said, you know I didn't realize how articulate you are. 147 00:23:30.150 --> 00:23:42.840 Douglas Hough: And what it was was the audio editors had made me articulate the ERS and arms, and you know it was in likes and um and Oh, let me start again well, those were all gone and so all they heard was the was the. 148 00:23:43.530 --> 00:23:52.290 Douglas Hough: final product now one thing to mention somebody I think it was renee had mentioned about or maybe it was a film about npr. 149 00:23:52.980 --> 00:24:00.780 Douglas Hough: One of the things to realize is the expectations of listeners and students when they're listening to an audio. 150 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:09.150 Douglas Hough: they're not thinking of this a recording of what you talked about in class they think it's npr it's podcasts or it's audible. 151 00:24:10.110 --> 00:24:20.520 Douglas Hough: So I mean that's been intimidating that that's but that's what they're expecting the good thing is that ctr can deliver that they can take your ears and arms and ahhs and. 152 00:24:21.060 --> 00:24:31.830 Douglas Hough: Oh, can we do that again, and they can clean that up, so it really sounds like npr and podcasts and audible because that's what happens at npr podcasts and audible you just don't know it. 153 00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:42.360 Douglas Hough: So it's it's really unlike an in person classroom so you have to understand that the other part, is that these folks make it really comfortable to do this. 154 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:56.130 Douglas Hough: And i've worked with NED I don't think i've worked with bill i've worked with primarily with Jamie and one of the nice things about the sessions, they either an hour or two hour sessions is that I come into their into the. 155 00:24:57.390 --> 00:25:04.380 Douglas Hough: Control room, which is actually pretty small and think of a control room like you know NBC or espn is a really kind of tiny. 156 00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:20.280 Douglas Hough: And we probably take 1015 minutes just talking, how are you doing how's this for what stories have you got to know what are we working on and then did a couple things one was it got me into talking second of all like relaxed me. 157 00:25:21.570 --> 00:25:31.770 Douglas Hough: And it wasn't like I was thinking oh my gosh we've got me we have time here, we got to this was important part of just I don't know if you all have cto does this deliberately. 158 00:25:32.250 --> 00:25:42.960 Douglas Hough: But, for me it was nice just to kind of get into the flow and all that now strategies for recording there are a couple different ways in which you can do this. 159 00:25:43.410 --> 00:25:48.300 Douglas Hough: And it depends on your personal style your preference and also your skill in speaking. 160 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:59.850 Douglas Hough: i'm a pretty good public speaker, but, as you can tell i've gotten a lot of entrepreneurs and i'll start over again and that kind of that works in a in a synchronous environment. 161 00:26:00.690 --> 00:26:08.940 Douglas Hough: If you all listening right now are not terribly bothered by it, but if you are listening to this recorded you go. 162 00:26:10.020 --> 00:26:11.910 Douglas Hough: Guy can't talk with beans. 163 00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:17.400 Douglas Hough: Now, but other people are just beautiful who can just walk in and just. 164 00:26:18.630 --> 00:26:24.000 Douglas Hough: just talk from a from an outline, and it would be beautifully articulate so. 165 00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:36.630 Douglas Hough: it's important to to figure out what your personal style and preferences now Jennifer talked about one approach which i'll talk about as well, but the first approach. 166 00:26:37.170 --> 00:26:55.830 Douglas Hough: is to prepare detailed notes and then deliver a lecture as if you were in a classroom and in some sense it sounds more natural because it's like how you would react, or you would teach in the class but expect lots of do overs. 167 00:26:57.150 --> 00:27:08.400 Douglas Hough: Because you're going to stumble you're gonna it's not going to sound quite right and you're going to have to you're gonna have to start over again again the audio editors will do a beautiful job of bringing all that together. 168 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:15.780 Douglas Hough: Now I found that worked, but if, and only if it was a course that i'd already taught before. 169 00:27:16.470 --> 00:27:30.060 Douglas Hough: Like for the health economics thing that I did early on man, I had taught that course 1520 times I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about when I was talking about health insurance, and so I thought Okay, this is just great. 170 00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:38.370 Douglas Hough: And then there was one time I needed to record a section that i'd never taught before and never, never taught before in class. 171 00:27:39.630 --> 00:27:58.200 Douglas Hough: It was a disaster, I was with Judith Judith was was the audio producer and she had a guest in who was being actually was being interviewed to be an editor and it was a total disaster and after about 45 minutes, both of us just said this was awful. 172 00:27:59.430 --> 00:28:08.940 Douglas Hough: We got to stop and reconfigure it, and the reason was I had never taught it before, so I never didn't know exactly how I wanted to say things. 173 00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:17.700 Douglas Hough: And so that was problematic, which leads to the second way of doing it there may be others, but this is what Jennifer was talking about in preparing a full script. 174 00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:29.400 Douglas Hough: And then you're reading it from the studio when you're in the studio this is more like audible you know where someone at author is reading his book or a paid actor is is reading the book. 175 00:28:32.310 --> 00:28:42.450 Douglas Hough: This takes a lot of time to prepare a lot of time to prepare ah and you're as you're doing it you're just going on is just a pain. 176 00:28:43.200 --> 00:29:01.770 Douglas Hough: But there, but the consequences, once you get in the studio it's like you can just do it, I mean it was like if I was going to record a 45 minutes a 15 minute lecture I could pretty much count that we'd be Jamie or net and I would be done in an hour and five minutes. 177 00:29:03.300 --> 00:29:15.630 Douglas Hough: Because I knew what I wanted to say I didn't have to worry about didn't have to think about it, maybe, sometimes I would stumble maybe I would say a word wrong and NED would say didn't you mean this. 178 00:29:16.170 --> 00:29:24.180 Douglas Hough: And you said that i'm like oh yeah you're right because I just misread it, but it works out so much better in the. 179 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:33.690 Douglas Hough: In the recording studio and I expect also that the audio editors love it as well because there's a lot less to have to edit but. 180 00:29:34.050 --> 00:29:48.780 Douglas Hough: But the important thing for us as faculty is it, it takes a lot of time up front, but the benefit is is later on, so and the other part, is you might be want to do a combination of the two if there's. 181 00:29:49.230 --> 00:29:50.460 Douglas Hough: a course that you're going to be. 182 00:29:50.460 --> 00:30:00.930 Douglas Hough: Preparing preparing that you've already taught online a bunch of times, maybe using an a detailed outline and going that way will work. 183 00:30:01.350 --> 00:30:10.020 Douglas Hough: If it's something that's new well, maybe you want to write out the whole lecture because it's Jennifer pointed out, I mean, even when you write it out, you realize when you're talking. 184 00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:20.910 Douglas Hough: I wasn't quite right, I didn't quite get that but but there you are the I guess the final thing for me is trust your producer. 185 00:30:22.350 --> 00:30:30.960 Douglas Hough: When your producer says that didn't sound right guess what it didn't sound right these folks are pros. 186 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:33.060 Douglas Hough: And again, one of the. 187 00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:41.580 Douglas Hough: And one of the nice things is is by the way, is to when you're talking with them is to find out what they've done in their prior lives. 188 00:30:43.770 --> 00:30:47.430 Douglas Hough: Jamie tell me and telling me about how he would be doing. 189 00:30:48.630 --> 00:31:09.210 Douglas Hough: record records in La and how he always loved it that stevie nicks would always ask him how he's doing now, you know that that story always remember but, but again it's these folks know what they're doing really trust them, so there you go that's that's that that's what I got. 190 00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:16.890 Renee O'Hara: Thank you, both so so much before I turn it back to me just your incredible to work with. 191 00:31:17.490 --> 00:31:24.270 Renee O'Hara: Everything we said is true, I did make Jennifer has a baby that lives near her, she doesn't have a baby in her apartment. 192 00:31:24.510 --> 00:31:33.090 Renee O'Hara: But I know we had to pause last time, and she said, oh the baby will stop crying soon and Doug did send me a note of tell Jamie to say stevie nicks left them and ends, or something. 193 00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.020 Renee O'Hara: Last time. 194 00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:41.100 Renee O'Hara: He worked with him, so they get to know us really well and I really love those points I took a couple of notes. 195 00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:54.120 Renee O'Hara: About trusting we aren't doing it to drive you crazy or keep you longer, and not because we don't respect your schedules, it is just because we want you to sound a little more relaxed and get the words right wonderful points on the jewelry. 196 00:31:55.320 --> 00:32:03.240 Renee O'Hara: The wonderful point Doug about the student if they're hearing it they do want good audio or they're going like oh there's teachers driving me crazy. 197 00:32:03.630 --> 00:32:11.100 Renee O'Hara: So, and we want you to relax and I don't think the toppings on purpose, I think we're all just talkers Doug, but I also love the. 198 00:32:11.820 --> 00:32:20.970 Renee O'Hara: don't be self conscious about the retakes, this is a no judgment zone, we are not clocking it like Oh, I had somebody really good today right someone who took a long time. 199 00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:28.710 Renee O'Hara: It we are here to get the best from you and the best for the learner so thank you so much, those were incredible stories to share. 200 00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:37.260 Renee O'Hara: And a whole thing, since both of you mentioned scripts as an audio producer what I always say to is I don't want you to sound like you're reading so i'm thrilled you did the work. 201 00:32:37.560 --> 00:32:43.500 Renee O'Hara: But I want you to sound like yourself saying it celine wrote a pro tip Thank you selina to write it in your personal voice. 202 00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:47.580 Renee O'Hara: Not like your teaching voice so i'm going to go back to me and now. 203 00:32:47.610 --> 00:32:49.260 Renee O'Hara: Thank you, both so so much. 204 00:32:50.580 --> 00:33:06.000 Mia M Lamm: Thank you so much, and if we can share the slides I really appreciate all the insights being shared it's really wonderful let's go ahead and move to studio preparations and I just need to fix my screen sorry one second. 205 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:21.330 Mia M Lamm: Okay, so with all that good stuff on in mind we're going to want to consider a few things when preparing for the recording session. 206 00:33:21.930 --> 00:33:29.220 Mia M Lamm: You can work with the instructional designer the ID we every every fully online course is assigned its own ID. 207 00:33:29.610 --> 00:33:38.190 Mia M Lamm: And we're here to support you in all aspects of the course development, for example, you're going to want to send your powerpoints to us in advance, so that we can review review everything. 208 00:33:38.550 --> 00:33:41.730 Mia M Lamm: will help you and looking at PowerPoint best practices, making sure. 209 00:33:42.330 --> 00:33:50.340 Mia M Lamm: All the sides of sources and whether bringing the medical illustrator into the project makes sense, we can also consult with you, but the balance of content. 210 00:33:50.790 --> 00:34:05.190 Mia M Lamm: and offer resources and best practices for that our team can guide you and chunk of your material we typically ask you to chunk it into sections, whether it's audio audio or PowerPoint or video um any any material for best attention for the learner. 211 00:34:06.270 --> 00:34:14.430 Mia M Lamm: and also for balancing the appropriate cognitive load information overload can be avoided this way by carefully aligning the content to learning objectives and. 212 00:34:14.430 --> 00:34:15.000 Douglas Hough: Sticking. 213 00:34:15.330 --> 00:34:18.840 Mia M Lamm: To the constraints of the 15 to 20 minute lecture section. 214 00:34:20.010 --> 00:34:25.110 Mia M Lamm: When I did you want to pop back in and share more insights about modular ization and accessibility. 215 00:34:25.860 --> 00:34:29.910 Renee O'Hara: Sure me, I just want to comment, we didn't use to always be. 216 00:34:30.720 --> 00:34:37.530 Renee O'Hara: So particular about modular ization, but we have found that a lot of faculty even Doug and Jennifer could have commented on this. 217 00:34:37.890 --> 00:34:43.800 Renee O'Hara: They teach several courses I think Doug talked about three different courses, he did jennifer's done more than one course. 218 00:34:44.130 --> 00:34:47.640 Renee O'Hara: Sometimes you're going to take that lecture content that you're recording. 219 00:34:47.910 --> 00:34:58.230 Renee O'Hara: But you don't want to use it just for the course that you scheduled the session for with us, you have another term another offering or you have a guest lecturer and another faculty scores were using that same content. 220 00:34:58.470 --> 00:35:12.660 Renee O'Hara: So the reason we want it to be modular is said that it can be a standalone recording that can be moved think of it as a catalog so we don't have you say the title of the course when you're recording the lecture we have you focus on the content. 221 00:35:13.410 --> 00:35:25.320 Renee O'Hara: So that we're very careful about that and also about accessibility, we try to work with you selena offers several courses on this, and we appreciate all of her efforts as an instructional designer and specialist. 222 00:35:25.650 --> 00:35:33.180 Renee O'Hara: With accessibility, but as producers, if you have a graph that has color we do like to say, you can use color when you're recording. 223 00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:42.720 Renee O'Hara: We just want another identifier, so that we know what you're talking about so a student who can't see that, but again I think part of having a producer in the session with you. 224 00:35:43.050 --> 00:35:51.960 Renee O'Hara: These are talking points that we have this is a working session and unless the working is making you lose your flow and you can't record and you can tell us that too. 225 00:35:52.290 --> 00:36:04.080 Renee O'Hara: Then we want to work through these points and again make it sustainable and think about sections modular ization a script or an outline and accessibility, but all things that we work on during the session. 226 00:36:12.060 --> 00:36:14.820 Renee O'Hara: And me and now, maybe we can go right into. 227 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:19.770 Renee O'Hara: Some good pointers I think everyone already heard so many great ones from Jennifer and Doug. 228 00:36:20.070 --> 00:36:27.000 Renee O'Hara: But how to connect with your listeners it's often a question that i'm asked sometimes when people get in the booth that we saw NED in. 229 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:37.770 Renee O'Hara: They feel a vacuum, because you no longer have the faces of the students nodding and pained great attention, or maybe looking confused, something that we find that faculty. 230 00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:49.110 Renee O'Hara: When they teach in a lecture hall they're getting that constant feedback but they're not getting it when they're isolated in a vocal booth so we want to offer you a couple of pointers for that next slide. 231 00:36:49.860 --> 00:36:57.480 Renee O'Hara: So you can see pictured here Jamie Sir niggli I mentioned earlier, and MIA and we were working on a piece with MIA. 232 00:36:57.870 --> 00:37:03.750 Renee O'Hara: And our first tip and you've heard it before but it's really hard sometimes when you're in there, and you know we've hit record. 233 00:37:04.110 --> 00:37:11.730 Renee O'Hara: Be yourself relax this is for you think of it really as a one on one experience you know you've heard the expression before. 234 00:37:11.940 --> 00:37:18.900 Renee O'Hara: you'd say it differently to your best friend than you would if you're just saying it so we want to capture that I had a faculty asked me wants in the session. 235 00:37:19.140 --> 00:37:26.640 Renee O'Hara: Why don't you just hire actors, I said the learners the students don't want actors, they want you, they want to learn from you you're the subject matter expert. 236 00:37:26.910 --> 00:37:34.320 Renee O'Hara: So he took a deep breath and did it again so as we've already heard, another tip is write a script or an outline in the notes section, and I can assure you. 237 00:37:34.620 --> 00:37:41.490 Renee O'Hara: Nobody sees that notes section once the slides have gone to our tech writer, that is just a working tool for you during the recording. 238 00:37:42.060 --> 00:37:51.030 Renee O'Hara: Practice you've heard it before practice practice practice we all need to do it talk to a mirror at your House talk to your kids if you have them at home. 239 00:37:51.300 --> 00:37:59.700 Renee O'Hara: A spouse or a friend, or just say it out loud to yourself or ask us for a practice session, and we are happy to do that with you, we want you to be comfortable. 240 00:38:00.120 --> 00:38:03.600 Renee O'Hara: Think about your audience, when speaking that's that modular ization to. 241 00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:12.840 Renee O'Hara: Some faculty that may be i've made a comment to they'll say well these students should already know this, so they don't have to describe everything they can move through at a quicker pace. 242 00:38:13.080 --> 00:38:17.550 Renee O'Hara: You know your audience better than we do so, you might deliver it a little bit differently. 243 00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:25.140 Renee O'Hara: focus on meaningful content, I heard Jennifer say that earlier, you know not not that we've suggested cheese rambled at all, but. 244 00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:33.480 Renee O'Hara: The reason you you do you don't want to hear it back and go I wish I had just focused or gotten to my point sooner, so what are your takeaways. 245 00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:42.690 Renee O'Hara: Use the best equipment and resources we have microphones now, thanks to a technology grant and if you are recording virtually just get in touch with us. 246 00:38:42.930 --> 00:38:49.950 Renee O'Hara: And we will send you a yeti microphone you can see them behind me in my office here there's a bunch of them and we send them in a kit and. 247 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.640 Renee O'Hara: You can also pick them up in the row House in advance and my colleague. 248 00:38:54.450 --> 00:39:02.880 Renee O'Hara: Joyce will see you for that and think about beginnings Middles and endings I often have faculty once they're in the zone in the middle. 249 00:39:03.090 --> 00:39:07.470 Renee O'Hara: they're very comfortable with their material they're the expert they're ready to talk about it they're going. 250 00:39:07.770 --> 00:39:17.700 Renee O'Hara: But the beginning, they might feel a little held up and the ending, what are you trying to do with the ending do you have a summary or conclusion something you're trying to leave the learners with. 251 00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:27.060 Renee O'Hara: A call to action something they can do in public health or in their life or in their area so think about those things before you record and you can always pause. 252 00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:32.640 Renee O'Hara: We don't mind at all if you're in the room in the booth pausing we are following you. 253 00:39:33.120 --> 00:39:45.180 Renee O'Hara: So those are just some things that I wrote down but i'd like to turn it over to my colleagues bill would you like to share something that from a recent session or a remembrance, you have a tip that you'd like to offer our guest today. 254 00:39:45.930 --> 00:39:47.430 Bill Gaal: Sure hold on. 255 00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:49.200 Bill Gaal: something's happening here can you hear me. 256 00:39:50.430 --> 00:39:51.210 Renee O'Hara: We can hear you. 257 00:39:51.300 --> 00:39:55.050 Bill Gaal: Okay, actually this really goes to a lot of the points that Doug made. 258 00:39:55.860 --> 00:40:02.310 Bill Gaal: When you come in and you go into the booth and sit down to start don't worry about being perfect don't. 259 00:40:03.570 --> 00:40:13.980 Bill Gaal: don't concern yourself with what it's going to take if you've done your preparation, as well as you can before you come in we'll take you the rest of the way, so you come in, you deliver it to the best of your ability which is generally pretty good. 260 00:40:15.090 --> 00:40:28.890 Bill Gaal: And it's our job for the to I guess I speak to the entire Center of the cto, and I say this it's our job to take this when the audio that you and I record or any of our producers in the studio goes through the production cycle, at the end of the day, it's. 261 00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:34.770 Bill Gaal: it's supposed to sound like you walked in I hit record You delivered a perfect lecture. 262 00:40:35.790 --> 00:40:45.930 Bill Gaal: You hit stop drop the MIC not literally, but the kids like to say that these days, and then went back to your office so that's why I would say don't worry about coming in being perfect that's our job. 263 00:40:46.950 --> 00:40:54.240 Renee O'Hara: Thank you, Bill that's a great point net i'd also like to ask you the same question what would you like to share today as a your top takeaway. 264 00:40:55.110 --> 00:41:01.080 Ned Boyle: First of all, I say I felt a little melodramatic talking about the privilege and then we heard from Doug and Jennifer and I thought. 265 00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:06.060 Ned Boyle: Well, they just validated my point I think anyone watching can see exactly what i'm talking about. 266 00:41:06.630 --> 00:41:10.830 Ned Boyle: I think that the artist one said the hardest thing to be in your artist yourself. 267 00:41:11.310 --> 00:41:25.500 Ned Boyle: I mean if you were an Impressionist painter you're going to follow Mathias you're going to have all these influences professors have had mentors and people in their lives, but this space that you're recording, it is not just what we try to make a safe space. 268 00:41:26.580 --> 00:41:40.890 Ned Boyle: But a support base for you so that you in that journey of finding your own voice you've got people around you who care, who will do what they can in that journey and. 269 00:41:41.370 --> 00:41:55.860 Ned Boyle: relaxation ends up being something to work on a little bit because you know if you're in front of a camera in front of a big microphone it can seem somewhat intimidating at first, so we do our best to support you and help you find your own voice in the space. 270 00:41:57.210 --> 00:41:58.980 Renee O'Hara: Excellent point net and you know. 271 00:41:59.220 --> 00:42:03.270 Renee O'Hara: I know me, I said that the top that we're talking about audio and PowerPoint lectures. 272 00:42:03.570 --> 00:42:09.870 Renee O'Hara: But I should re emphasize that because I can't tell you how many people write me back when I write them like hey we'll see you Tuesday we'll see you Thursday. 273 00:42:10.230 --> 00:42:14.340 Renee O'Hara: i've had people say should I wear a jacket, should I wear a tie, should I put on makeup. 274 00:42:14.850 --> 00:42:27.540 Renee O'Hara: lucky for us we're just recording the audio now another ctf team might ask you to do something, but not us, you come as you are, and be comfortable, just like we've all said, we are here to support you great point me back to you. 275 00:42:28.680 --> 00:42:29.130 Renee O'Hara: Okay. 276 00:42:29.580 --> 00:42:34.950 Mia M Lamm: We just have a couple more slides before we get to our Q amp a and we're going to talk a little bit about. 277 00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:38.520 Mia M Lamm: What you can do now so next steps. 278 00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:41.340 Mia M Lamm: i'm sorry. 279 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:47.040 Mia M Lamm: So the first step is to reach out. 280 00:42:48.330 --> 00:42:57.000 Mia M Lamm: You know, to the ID your ideas, the project manager right, so you can working with their ad they were going to assist you in communicating deadlines organizing the process. 281 00:42:57.540 --> 00:43:10.290 Mia M Lamm: um one thing that worked really well and we've been doing more and more of is scheduling pre recording meetings our entire team, including the tech writers on specifically the audio producers are available for that and. 282 00:43:12.150 --> 00:43:22.020 Mia M Lamm: It really helps to brainstorm solutions and ideas for the content test your settings just work through any problems to make the most of your time so it's time efficient when you go into the studio. 283 00:43:23.130 --> 00:43:30.930 Mia M Lamm: And you want to figure out how many lectures you'll need to cover to cover your learning objectives right, so you need to figure out how many lectures, how many sections and. 284 00:43:31.290 --> 00:43:38.250 Mia M Lamm: what's targeted to your objectives for for that learning module and then you want to go ahead and we have. 285 00:43:38.610 --> 00:43:54.930 Mia M Lamm: Something called our acuity scheduler which schedules, the studio that's really nice and easy the URL is on the slide and we will definitely share it in our follow up email after this course after sorry after this session, and I believe selling just shared it in the chat. 286 00:43:56.010 --> 00:44:03.990 Mia M Lamm: And you can use that to book the sessions and with the days and times you prefer again for them fully online classes is usually what we're recording for. 287 00:44:05.220 --> 00:44:15.660 Mia M Lamm: And it also will help you to decide early whether you're inviting guests speakers to create lecture material so renee What would you say, is the most important at that point for the thought process and the next step. 288 00:44:16.470 --> 00:44:26.550 Renee O'Hara: I would say me that, with the acuity it offers you a one hour session or two hour session a lot of faculty or guest speakers think well I give this and an hour and a Hall, I only need an hour. 289 00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:35.070 Renee O'Hara: You generally need to because of the things that Doug and Jennifer mentioned, and we mentioned we're checking your levels when we're meeting with you, we are reviewing content. 290 00:44:35.340 --> 00:44:40.170 Renee O'Hara: we're trying to get you set up to talk, there will be retakes and some stops and starts to remind ask you to. 291 00:44:40.410 --> 00:44:50.100 Renee O'Hara: redo a graph sometimes you'll get through a whole lecture and we might ask you to go back and do the intro because now you do sound relaxed so that's something to consider, but if you have questions we're here to help you. 292 00:44:50.700 --> 00:45:03.210 Renee O'Hara: We do want to know as MIA said if you're having a guest speakers, or if this is a two person session at the moment, while we're in a safe space, if you were doing a two person in the studios we showed you, we would ask you to stay mast. 293 00:45:04.110 --> 00:45:09.840 Renee O'Hara: If you're just by yourself, you do get to remove the mask so that's something to think about if you're doing a two person remotely. 294 00:45:10.080 --> 00:45:17.910 Renee O'Hara: This remote around site, we give you both the same zoom link and that's how you would record bet you could be together and we've done many of those. 295 00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:23.220 Renee O'Hara: So you certainly can do it, and then like we've said before, think about the equipment, you need for the remote. 296 00:45:24.120 --> 00:45:33.120 Renee O'Hara: We can hold up the yeti Mike said that you see them and a good Internet connection we've had some rough weather and sometimes you'll lose Internet and you'll have to reschedule. 297 00:45:33.900 --> 00:45:37.350 Renee O'Hara: But a good Internet connection makes a big difference wired if you can be. 298 00:45:37.710 --> 00:45:43.890 Renee O'Hara: A quiet space we do suggest you shut the door we don't want you to have to go into your closet to record to have the best sound then. 299 00:45:44.160 --> 00:45:53.940 Renee O'Hara: pillows and close around you, but a quiet space is very helpful because we want you to focus too that's more if you're recording remotely if you're on site, we have the quiet studio for you. 300 00:45:54.330 --> 00:46:00.180 Renee O'Hara: And then I talked about the microphones and I could hold hold mine up right here, where you can see it. 301 00:46:00.720 --> 00:46:07.890 Renee O'Hara: it's next to me, this is what they're like they are a USB plug in we give you two plugs one if you have a newer computer and need the mini. 302 00:46:08.160 --> 00:46:18.360 Renee O'Hara: plug in, and then a standard USB So those are some other things, but again, if you have any questions like MIA said talk to us, I would highlight that, if you have a lot of lectures to do. 303 00:46:18.630 --> 00:46:30.390 Renee O'Hara: We wouldn't want you to have to do them all in one week as Doug and Jennifer said there's a lot of prep work your voice would be really tired, if you had to record with us all five days of the week, so a little pre planning space it out. 304 00:46:30.900 --> 00:46:37.170 Renee O'Hara: For your your own work and balance and vocal needs thanks me sure. 305 00:46:38.070 --> 00:46:40.050 Mia M Lamm: So let's take a few minutes. 306 00:46:40.110 --> 00:46:44.700 Mia M Lamm: You know, five minutes for Q amp a does anyone have any questions you're welcome to. 307 00:46:45.750 --> 00:46:46.590 Mia M Lamm: Go ahead and. 308 00:46:47.640 --> 00:46:54.420 Mia M Lamm: You can raise your hand or go ahead and turn your MIC on or chat put your question in the chat. 309 00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:08.640 Mia M Lamm: It can be a question for you know our faculty guests or audio producers any thoughts, you have about getting ready for the first recording session. 310 00:47:17.160 --> 00:47:19.050 Scott Zeger: No questions I have a question. 311 00:47:21.120 --> 00:47:21.450 Okay. 312 00:47:22.950 --> 00:47:32.700 Scott Zeger: um if you are recording a live lecture and want to make it available to students who do not attend. 313 00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:46.920 Scott Zeger: Is it possible to do the kind of quality improvement that the engineers, can you describe the engineers can do with what's recorded live in a lecture Hall, rather than in the studio. 314 00:47:48.060 --> 00:48:02.670 Mia M Lamm: So so typically our recording studios in this process is really for our fully online classes and production for let's say blended classes they're using asynchronous material, because the volume would be so enormous if we are editing. 315 00:48:03.330 --> 00:48:10.770 Mia M Lamm: For everything so typically no I believe multimedia has some services, but it would be different okay. 316 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:11.100 Scott Zeger: Thank you. 317 00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:14.640 Mia M Lamm: Does anyone have any any other information from my team to add. 318 00:48:16.680 --> 00:48:27.450 Renee O'Hara: I think I would add that if you're recording on your own and trying to do those edits and it's really hard, because you don't get to stop and start, like us, and Edit give yourself a little space at the top. 319 00:48:28.020 --> 00:48:36.570 Renee O'Hara: And before each slide so that it can be a little bit cleaner, if you have to edit on your own, and I would still suggest a quiet room and I would suggest a MIC. 320 00:48:37.380 --> 00:48:48.660 Renee O'Hara: So that so that you can get the best sound possible and I think now with some of the streaming classrooms, I think, like me, I said, there are several things through multimedia that could probably be helpful. 321 00:48:56.430 --> 00:49:06.150 Celine Greene: i'm sorry multitask and try and find this one wasn't enough for me to choose to record at home and it's lingering stands out of. 322 00:49:06.630 --> 00:49:16.740 Celine Greene: The faculty to do choose record on their own, either because they've decided that that's what they're going to do or there's just not enough time and they want that. 323 00:49:17.190 --> 00:49:30.240 Celine Greene: And we do have a few tips on our toolkit site I, I will try and work with amy and Nea who are going to send a follow up email, I believe, to find that if you left it at home, for instance, there is a. 324 00:49:31.470 --> 00:49:42.000 Celine Greene: There is a section of actually blog post on recording for things like when good mic do that, but we do have advice as to how to test your own microphone like that. 325 00:49:42.510 --> 00:49:50.100 Celine Greene: leveling quality of lessons and Dr podcast and then come back and listen to your own sample on your reporting, how could you adjust the. 326 00:49:51.990 --> 00:50:06.450 Celine Greene: The other thing that I would say is if you've never edited before you, you could go down a rabbit hole, and that would take a lot of time, so again if you're doing on your own and you want editing either find your. 327 00:50:07.500 --> 00:50:20.790 Celine Greene: find a resource with multimedia or you're really, really patient child or neighbor said or or another for sometimes we have these you have to do things on our own. 328 00:50:21.900 --> 00:50:25.440 Celine Greene: If you want to deal with work to work with you can go ahead and. 329 00:50:26.460 --> 00:50:37.620 Celine Greene: Definitely targeted by but if you're doing something completely on your own due to bad weather so that's like a last minute thing, or is it just the traveling or anything else we can plan ahead. 330 00:50:38.040 --> 00:50:46.860 Celine Greene: We do have some tips for you, for finding that right that right package for at home, but again when it comes to actual editing, which is what you were. 331 00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:57.270 Celine Greene: originally asked me for I would really recommend that and don't make that your first foray into editing make it a little side project to learn how to edit in. 332 00:50:57.600 --> 00:51:06.090 Celine Greene: The same page or something but you're not going to edit able to edit much in terms of audio level will be able to edit anything and cannot do it ourselves. 333 00:51:06.600 --> 00:51:17.430 Celine Greene: And if you were recording not really on you can do is turn out people, and then you know and come out the beginning and the end and not even the buttons in the middle so. 334 00:51:18.420 --> 00:51:30.240 Celine Greene: that's that's what you're given if you're doing it on your own you're going into the great unknown or you're getting somebody up by the detail, but you can work with it yeah we can help you with more targeted infection. 335 00:51:31.770 --> 00:51:43.230 Mia M Lamm: That great explanation also leads leads us to kind of highlight why recording in the studio for fully online classes, is so important. 336 00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:51.660 Mia M Lamm: Because our students that are fully online that's kind of all that's everything that they're getting right, so they don't have that in person component, that they can eat. 337 00:51:52.080 --> 00:51:58.710 Mia M Lamm: Usually here well and see well, so the material that obviously the online students are getting it makes it that much more important. 338 00:51:59.340 --> 00:52:08.580 Mia M Lamm: And I i'll add one more thing that if you have a online class or another class that you are going through cto production to create lecture material for. 339 00:52:08.940 --> 00:52:21.030 Mia M Lamm: If you can repurpose that as asynchronous material for another class that's possible too, so you can import in course Plus, for example, lecture material from course to course, no matter what format, it is. 340 00:52:23.910 --> 00:52:30.060 Mia M Lamm: So I guess we're we're getting close to the end of our session we can end a few minutes early is there. 341 00:52:30.210 --> 00:52:34.020 Mia M Lamm: Are there any last words from anyone on our team, if my father has. 342 00:52:35.340 --> 00:52:39.660 Celine Greene: A question in chat about loaner equipment. 343 00:52:47.040 --> 00:52:50.910 Renee O'Hara: I see the question or the restriction for who can get a microphone for coursework. 344 00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:53.310 Renee O'Hara: I haven't been. 345 00:52:54.390 --> 00:53:11.820 Renee O'Hara: Generally ours, have been for online classes, like our team has said, but if someone needed one i'm sure I can talk to my leadership and see if I could learn your microphone so I don't have 100% answer but there be no problem, reaching out to me and seeing what I can do, does that help. 346 00:53:14.580 --> 00:53:15.600 Ava Hoffman: And then we can thank you. 347 00:53:15.870 --> 00:53:18.210 Renee O'Hara: Set up the equipment to so. 348 00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:22.170 Renee O'Hara: Okay. 349 00:53:22.200 --> 00:53:30.000 Mia M Lamm: So if there's no other comments we can just pull up that last slide I can show you a few resources Oh, I think we. 350 00:53:31.650 --> 00:53:32.160 Okay. 351 00:53:41.190 --> 00:53:50.190 Mia M Lamm: So you'll see here on the slide i'm sorry there's chuckling if you see, I see her on the slide and that there's contact information from an a bill net and I. 352 00:53:51.030 --> 00:54:02.040 Mia M Lamm: Also, if you have just a general question not sure who it should go to where you have a technical question, please go ahead and contact cta i'll help you to help@hq.edu. 353 00:54:02.550 --> 00:54:13.770 Mia M Lamm: On
