16 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.420 Elizabeth Stuart: Alright, I think I will get started. 17 00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:55.920 Elizabeth Stuart: General introductory notes and we'll get into the meat and another minute. So welcome, everyone. I'm lose Stewart at the end for education and just thrilled to have you all here for the first of this series that we're going to have I'll come back to this. 18 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.060 In a minute. 19 00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:07.110 Elizabeth Stuart: Or the second slide. So I think many of you are on this call, because, as you know, looking towards the fall 20 00:02:07.830 --> 00:02:24.630 Elizabeth Stuart: We are going to be essentially operating, similar to how we did in fourth term with mostly online instruction or maybe some hybrid and as I hope you all know we've committed students that they can participate in all of their activities from afar, if needed. 21 00:02:25.470 --> 00:02:26.760 Joseph O'Hagan: But the difference from fourth term is 22 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:29.220 Elizabeth Stuart: Instead of three days to prepare. We have 23 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:37.020 Elizabeth Stuart: A few months. So our goal this summer is to pull together some resources to help staff and faculty get ready for fall instruction. 24 00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.430 Elizabeth Stuart: More information will be coming on all of this. So I'm just going to take a minute right now. To summarize, but CCL is working. 25 00:02:44.790 --> 00:02:55.980 Elizabeth Stuart: Really hard on sort of a one stop shop which will have teaching related resources and all sorts of kind of quick tips and things like that. So that's a web resources that will be coming 26 00:02:56.790 --> 00:03:03.390 Elizabeth Stuart: We are doing this workshop series, which I'll say more on in a second. And then we're pulling together. Some people power. 27 00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:10.230 Elizabeth Stuart: Basically some pure coaches and CTR instructional designers and other supports more to come on all of that. 28 00:03:10.650 --> 00:03:22.890 Elizabeth Stuart: And I want to highlight that this is really a partnership between the dean's office, the Center for Teaching and Learning and multimedia services. So again, more to come on all of those supports that will be coming together. 29 00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:33.330 Elizabeth Stuart: I just wanted to say one more quick word on this series of faculty workshops basically my vision for these is to provide an interactive environment for 30 00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:35.970 Elizabeth Stuart: People to sort of share ideas and we've 31 00:03:36.030 --> 00:03:46.260 Elizabeth Stuart: Come up with a set of topics that I think will cover some of the things that faculty will be thinking about as they think about first and second term instruction so 32 00:03:46.290 --> 00:03:48.120 Elizabeth Stuart: We have this one today. 33 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.570 Elizabeth Stuart: And that we're talking back in a second and then June 25 we have one on sort of 34 00:03:55.020 --> 00:04:05.460 Elizabeth Stuart: Promoting student engagement in a virtual classroom and we have found some faculty who and Amy Pinkerton from CCL who have great expertise and experience in figuring out how to engage students 35 00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:12.150 Elizabeth Stuart: In terms of virtual or online environments. And then we'll have sort of lessons learned from fourth term. 36 00:04:13.380 --> 00:04:22.590 Elizabeth Stuart: Actually, I will give you all a sneak peek. I was just looking at the data from our fourth term of course evaluations and the students were very satisfied with their courses in fact 37 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:31.740 Elizabeth Stuart: ratings were higher this fourth term than they were a year ago, so kudos to everyone for the great job done. We're going to try to pull out some lessons learned from that. 38 00:04:32.490 --> 00:04:37.650 Elizabeth Stuart: A July 20 seconds we'll have one on assessments, because I know that's a big topic for a lot of people 39 00:04:38.070 --> 00:04:54.240 Elizabeth Stuart: And then two sessions in August, with the details to be determined, but sort of more on the kind of nitty gritty of kind of using zoom and some of those tools. If you have other ideas or faculty or staff who you think would be good resources for any of these please reach out to me. 40 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:07.740 Elizabeth Stuart: So I'm really happy to kick us off with this one, which I felt like we've would be a good topic to start with, as we all are on zoom all day and also thinking about recording lectures online. 41 00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:21.960 Elizabeth Stuart: Over the summer and things like that. So I'm really happy to have chip Hickey, and Joe Okay, again here to tell us about how to enhance our professional web presence and I know certainly I think this will be useful, both for instruction in the classroom. 42 00:05:22.470 --> 00:05:26.490 Elizabeth Stuart: But then also for all of us who might be doing other web related, you know, 43 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:27.600 Elizabeth Stuart: Media or 44 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:41.040 Elizabeth Stuart: Any meetings and stuff, as we are all on zoom almost all day. So without further ado, I'm going to turn it over to typically to get into some of the some more information. Thank you so much. 45 00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:50.760 Chip Hickey: All right. Thank you, Liz and thank everybody for joining us this afternoon. We're very excited to be a part of the series that Liz put together. 46 00:05:51.300 --> 00:06:08.130 Chip Hickey: I do have a couple reminders. I want to make sure that that folks use their audio. We don't want to hear sirens or, you know, and we'll talk about sound of a couple minutes, actually. But mute mute your audio and your video for now it's there's there's no reason to have that 47 00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:12.390 Chip Hickey: inside of me there. I'm sorry, Elizabeth, as long as I 48 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:20.550 Elizabeth Stuart: Find her mind people with these sessions are recorded to maybe you were getting to that we're ever gonna put them online for people to watch. Yeah. 49 00:06:21.330 --> 00:06:23.580 Chip Hickey: It may be helpful, like in this setting to 50 00:06:23.580 --> 00:06:26.490 Chip Hickey: Switch over to speaker view not gallery view. 51 00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:33.510 Chip Hickey: So that you get a larger, larger image like you're seeing on your screen right now. And then we're going to go through a number of different 52 00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:48.420 Chip Hickey: Chapters or topics over the next 30 minutes and we'll, we'll stop and take a quick break. You know, between each one to chat, but I wanted to let everybody know that there are several of my production staff on this call. 53 00:06:48.630 --> 00:06:58.140 Chip Hickey: So please use the chat feature for questions related to a specific topic that Joe's going to cover. You don't have to wait until the very end. 54 00:06:58.590 --> 00:07:11.700 Chip Hickey: To do the live Q AMP. A unless you would like to. But there are several of my staff that are available to answer questions via chat and even connect with you on a one on one basis post event should you feel the need to do so. 55 00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:19.890 Chip Hickey: So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Joe and we're going to go get started with our presentation. And we'll see you back at the end. 56 00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:35.880 Joseph O'Hagan: To unmute myself there. Thank you very much, Jeff. And I'm really thankful to the dean's office to Liz chip the information technology office. 57 00:07:36.510 --> 00:07:45.930 Joseph O'Hagan: For the opportunity to be here. We know how important it is. We know how important the instruction is and your, your meetings with with very important people in very important public health topics. 58 00:07:46.470 --> 00:07:54.360 Joseph O'Hagan: And it's really an honor for me to be here to to kind of help you with that. So I, I saw some familiar faces logging in. 59 00:07:54.930 --> 00:08:01.890 Joseph O'Hagan: We've you've seen our work in the video studio in the basement of Wall Street and our live webcast from lecture halls. 60 00:08:02.700 --> 00:08:09.660 Joseph O'Hagan: So I kind of joke with my colleagues and with friends that our job is to play with toys all day. 61 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:27.870 Joseph O'Hagan: So we have a lot of toys there, you know, in the basement, especially in the studio very expensive fancy toys. Lots of lights, lots of microphones and we have the ability to to really do that pro image. The pro sound will even be broadcasting on TV. Pretty soon. 62 00:08:28.890 --> 00:08:30.780 Joseph O'Hagan: But today's challenge was very different. 63 00:08:30.870 --> 00:08:39.390 Joseph O'Hagan: And today was much more about what can, what can you do as faculty or in your zoom meetings or pin up those sessions. 64 00:08:40.020 --> 00:08:55.020 Joseph O'Hagan: To enhance your, your own image quality with the tools that you have, which sometimes are just house lamps and and just the built in microphone on your computer. A lot of times there's no right or wrong answers you use what you have 65 00:08:56.580 --> 00:09:09.420 Joseph O'Hagan: But it's it's with far less resources that then we have. And that's what I wanted to try to set up today to be to to, kind of, you know, I had the mindset when I was setting this up, you know, basic laptop basic webcam. 66 00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:22.650 Joseph O'Hagan: headset microphone kind of thing to kind of put myself in your shoes without all of the fancy bells and whistles with the with the video equipment that we have available to us. So let me get started and share my screen. 67 00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:45.360 Joseph O'Hagan: So the topic of today's presentation is enhancing your professional web presence basic tips for camera composition lighting and sound for virtual meetings and distance learning 68 00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:55.260 Joseph O'Hagan: So we have distributed and we have available in the portal and the technicians who are on the chat right now can send you links. 69 00:09:55.860 --> 00:10:04.560 Joseph O'Hagan: Portal links to a document that there is really helpful, mainly because it has some basic advice, but also some really helpful links. 70 00:10:04.950 --> 00:10:14.730 Joseph O'Hagan: On the first page of that document entitled basic virtual meeting tips for camera composition lighting and sound right in that first paragraph, you'll see a link to advanced 71 00:10:15.630 --> 00:10:23.640 Joseph O'Hagan: Advanced tips and and advanced things that your department or you may want to purchase in order to 72 00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:34.410 Joseph O'Hagan: Enhance your presentations on the last page on the second page of that two page document is the helpful links, which I'll go over right at the end and in summary. 73 00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:44.130 Joseph O'Hagan: But basically, those helpful links will go beyond what we're doing with camera lighting and sound and let you know you know how to troubleshoot your own zoom audio and 74 00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:51.810 Joseph O'Hagan: And the zoom advice for best lighting and that type of thing, as well as some information technology advice as well. 75 00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:59.400 Joseph O'Hagan: So the overview. We're going to go over a toolkit. The basic hardware and software required and or recommended 76 00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:09.090 Joseph O'Hagan: Environment choosing the right location for your virtual meeting or recording will go over lighting, which is kind of tricky, but very important 77 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:18.930 Joseph O'Hagan: You've all seen you know zoom sessions where people are very shadowed or, you know, barely appear at all, or they're not really composed properly in the screen. 78 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:36.900 Joseph O'Hagan: And sound, you know, using microphones and headsets so that we don't have, you know, the audio issues during your session if you use the right resources three microphones and headsets again affordable and available to you is the key. So there's no right or wrong answers. 79 00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:47.520 Joseph O'Hagan: These are most of these are recommendations and not requirements, your home environment is very specific to you you you either have the lamps or you don't, you either 80 00:11:47.910 --> 00:11:59.040 Joseph O'Hagan: You know, have the ability to run a 75 foot ethernet cable or you don't. So we're making recommendations so that you know why things go wrong when they go wrong, basically. 81 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:22.710 Joseph O'Hagan: If you don't have Ethernet and you have Wi Fi. As an example, you know if your video images lagging or your audio is stuttering. Maybe it's because you have that that you're on Wi Fi instead of internet. So before I move on to the intricacies of the toolkit chip wants to say a few words. 82 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:31.110 Chip Hickey: And I'll stop shop just want to go ahead over the hardware and software, Joe, and then we'll jump in to the next section. After we let them know that Jason will be standing on 83 00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:33.900 Joseph O'Hagan: Great and Jason's on the chat. 84 00:12:34.950 --> 00:12:39.570 Joseph O'Hagan: Our multi media team, by the way, is is very expert in so many different areas. 85 00:12:40.590 --> 00:12:44.670 Joseph O'Hagan: And Jason has expertise in a lot of different areas. 86 00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:52.350 Joseph O'Hagan: He's our primary go to for those types of hardware and software needed for laptops and those types of things, but also 87 00:12:52.800 --> 00:13:02.190 Joseph O'Hagan: Video expertise audio expertise and the entire team, you would be surprised how much experience they have in professional audio professional video 88 00:13:02.730 --> 00:13:09.780 Joseph O'Hagan: Live, you know, television, radio station backgrounds and all of these kind of things. So we're really proud of our team and 89 00:13:10.140 --> 00:13:16.110 Joseph O'Hagan: That is, who's available right to you right now to you in your chat. So the toolkit. I'm just going to kind of 90 00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:28.350 Joseph O'Hagan: skim over it and you can ask Jason the detailed questions but here's some of the required hardware and software for now. Understanding that things change. So in the links at the end of the tips document. 91 00:13:29.250 --> 00:13:40.440 Joseph O'Hagan: That will be updated regularly right now. As an example, we're on zoom version 5.0 or higher panoptic version eight point or higher, but that's likely to change. So your best resources to go into those 92 00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:48.300 Joseph O'Hagan: Keep yourself updated with the most recent software, hardware recommendations, you know, basically, we have a list here, but really 93 00:13:48.690 --> 00:13:57.930 Joseph O'Hagan: The most modern device that you can afford and is available to you. The higher speed ethernet connection. All of these things are really important to a strong signal. 94 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:09.150 Joseph O'Hagan: To get good video and and good audio and, like I was saying hardwired connection definitely preferred. So if you could get your router close to your workstation. 95 00:14:09.630 --> 00:14:17.550 Joseph O'Hagan: You're really going to thank yourself later in the quality of your video signal and your audio signal and again ask Jason, a couple of questions about that. 96 00:14:18.810 --> 00:14:27.240 Joseph O'Hagan: webcams sometimes you only have the option of the built in webcam on the computer. I happen to have a Logitech webcam. 97 00:14:28.020 --> 00:14:34.890 Joseph O'Hagan: A little bit higher quality, a little bit of portability, so I don't necessarily have to have it you know connected to, you know, 98 00:14:35.730 --> 00:14:42.420 Joseph O'Hagan: Like opening or closing the screen on my laptop. So there's a lot of flexibility with a Logitech webcam and 99 00:14:43.110 --> 00:14:50.040 Joseph O'Hagan: Not only quality issues, but you could also get software to adjust your appearance within the webcam hardware and software. 100 00:14:50.760 --> 00:15:01.800 Joseph O'Hagan: With within the webcam software you can, you know, increase your exposure or, you know, just make make your image look a little bit better. That's a little bit more advanced, but those Logitech cameras really helped me with that kind of thing. 101 00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:10.710 Chip Hickey: So, so I just want to let everybody know so like this is this is Section one so JASON GRAY IS standing by if you have specific questions about hardware. 102 00:15:11.490 --> 00:15:17.910 Chip Hickey: You can do that now in the chat feature or you can wait till the live Q AMP. A at the end. Now, Joe is going to proceed with the next topic. 103 00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.130 Great. 104 00:15:23.010 --> 00:15:28.440 Joseph O'Hagan: So the environment. This is your own location. So I have my work environment. 105 00:15:29.190 --> 00:15:39.210 Joseph O'Hagan: And I'll be honest with you today is is different. Today, you know, for me, this is a VIP thing I did a little bit more than I normally do. This is more than a casual meeting for me. 106 00:15:39.660 --> 00:15:45.030 Joseph O'Hagan: I don't usually have this amount of space. So you have to allocate, you know, look, take a look at your own space. 107 00:15:45.690 --> 00:15:53.340 Joseph O'Hagan: The more space, the better for for your better look just like a studio. The bigger our studio is the more we can you know 108 00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:02.640 Joseph O'Hagan: Control the intensity of the lights, camera angles and that kind of thing. It's the same in your homework environment. So this is my home and work environment for today. 109 00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:12.300 Joseph O'Hagan: Right, so you can notice a lot of things here. I, you know, there's the background. The white lattice background, you can get that at IKEA. You know, it looks nice behind you. 110 00:16:13.140 --> 00:16:22.350 Joseph O'Hagan: I have some nice things that my children handmade for me, you know, in the background behind me. I can kind of stop the screen share for a second and 111 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:39.210 Joseph O'Hagan: Just, you know, the main thing here is, be cautious. What you put behind you, because it's it's going to go to the world, right. So, um, and it's going to go to your students, and it's going to go to, you know, your VIP interview, whatever you have behind you just know that it's there. 112 00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:53.760 Joseph O'Hagan: Know what people are going to see. And if it's not playing. Why are playing you know whatever pink color you have on your walls and it's nice if you can kind of like organize it and get that a little nicer if that's an option to you. 113 00:16:54.810 --> 00:17:00.330 Joseph O'Hagan: You'll see that I have a tall table on the front. Those are specifically for the lights, because 114 00:17:01.260 --> 00:17:10.800 Joseph O'Hagan: We'll go over lighting in a little bit later, but it should be like a little bit elevated and a little bit at an angle so bringing another table and beyond my desk here. 115 00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:20.730 Joseph O'Hagan: bringing their another table and just for the lights or some five or six foot lights that you can get an IKEA, you know, a nice soft, you know, bulb. 116 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:31.560 Joseph O'Hagan: About you know like 357 feet away, you know, bringing forward and back until you get that look that you're looking for. But again, it's a space issue. The other space issue is 117 00:17:32.280 --> 00:17:38.310 Joseph O'Hagan: Safety right so you got a lot of devices here with cables, you've got a laptop, you got a phone here. 118 00:17:39.300 --> 00:17:49.020 Joseph O'Hagan: Each of the lance has a plugin. So, you know, do you have like a multiple outlet underneath of your desk that all of these electrical devices can plug into 119 00:17:49.650 --> 00:18:03.180 Joseph O'Hagan: How safely, you know, can you get your Ethernet cable to your laptop right maybe some tape to tape that down so that the dog doesn't trip over it, or your kids don't trip over it. But thanks. Think of safety when you're choosing your work environment as well. 120 00:18:05.070 --> 00:18:14.430 Joseph O'Hagan: Distance from unwanted sounds. We'll go over this in more detail in in the sound section, but you have to think about that in even choosing your location right so 121 00:18:15.540 --> 00:18:24.060 Joseph O'Hagan: Like right now, like I'm looking out the window and I'm thinking, are they going to mow the lawn today, like, I don't know. Right, I'm looking to my right. That's my kitchen right 122 00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:28.710 Joseph O'Hagan: Is somebody going to run the dishwasher. You know my laundry is down the hall. 123 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:40.470 Joseph O'Hagan: Have we had that conversation with the other people in the House about, you know, like my classes at seven o'clock tonight, probably not a good time to run the dishwasher. Those kind of things. Do what you can control your sound. 124 00:18:43.410 --> 00:18:52.620 Joseph O'Hagan: We've gone over electric electricity safety in a taping down those cables background, what appears in your view, there's my background. 125 00:18:54.390 --> 00:18:59.490 Joseph O'Hagan: And now we want to get into lighting. I don't know if chip wants to come back on and and 126 00:19:02.760 --> 00:19:11.970 Chip Hickey: No, you're good. Geologists again we're seeing a lot of questions coming in. I just want to go over real quick. We're going to be touching on lighting now shot camera composition 127 00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:23.100 Chip Hickey: Sound virtual backgrounds, which is a popular topic already on the chat feature, but we'll go over all that stuff. And then we'll wrap things up and turn it back over to Liz so great. 128 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.570 Joseph O'Hagan: Alright so lighting is is super important, obviously, um, 129 00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:33.450 Joseph O'Hagan: Let's get back into the screen share here. So one of the first things that you'll 130 00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:40.500 Joseph O'Hagan: Have to identify in the location that you choose or when you're choosing your location is what are the light sources. Right. 131 00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:51.570 Joseph O'Hagan: So these are my light sources. This is a reverse view of, you know, your you see me the webcam is pointed at me. But this is a picture of what I'm seeing. When I look around the room right so 132 00:19:52.080 --> 00:20:03.090 Joseph O'Hagan: Be careful with sunlight coming in that window on the left, right, I completely blocked it off on the window that's right behind me, because it would be too many shadows with those things are right in front of me. 133 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:09.960 Joseph O'Hagan: So use your blinds control your light I this is a picture from yesterday, but because storms were rolling in today. 134 00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:17.580 Joseph O'Hagan: And the target was two o'clock. For the storms. I didn't want to rely on that sunlight coming in that side window at all to unpredictable. 135 00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:27.360 Joseph O'Hagan: By the way, I'm giving your classes. Early in the day or late in the day sunrise and sunset if if some if sunlight is your primary light. 136 00:20:27.930 --> 00:20:39.420 Joseph O'Hagan: And it's going to go down 15 minutes or a half hour after your class starts or an hour into your three hour class, you're going to lose your light. So if you didn't have a backup plan, you know, the lamps or something like that. 137 00:20:40.290 --> 00:20:43.620 Joseph O'Hagan: Then you know just, just know that the beginning of the end of the day. 138 00:20:43.950 --> 00:20:52.530 Joseph O'Hagan: The color of your light, the intensity of light. All of that is going to change and you have more control over the lights that are in your house as opposed to relying on the sunlight. 139 00:20:53.310 --> 00:20:58.770 Joseph O'Hagan: Angles are important. So in in the studio we have three point lighting where 140 00:20:59.040 --> 00:21:07.290 Joseph O'Hagan: We have a key light on one side of fill light on the other side, sometimes even a show light in those kind of things. We use angles, all the time. So you don't want 141 00:21:07.620 --> 00:21:14.580 Joseph O'Hagan: The light to be coming directly in front of you and and you know just thinking about the angles of where your lights are coming from. 142 00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:25.290 Joseph O'Hagan: Again, my lamps today are a little bit above my eye level and about, you know, maybe five feet away. The, the key light is a little bit closer than the fill light. 143 00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:33.450 Joseph O'Hagan: But, you know, those, those things can be accomplished with lamps. You don't have to use studios. This is a horrible example of lighting. 144 00:21:34.380 --> 00:21:48.180 Joseph O'Hagan: Um, you know, kind of showing some really bad pictures of myself here, but this is what I sometimes see when I'm in a meeting with somebody, they're there. In this case, the light is coming from below. Totally shadow on the top right. 145 00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:59.040 Joseph O'Hagan: So be careful of any light coming from underneath of you filmmakers use that for the evil character. You know, like that's not a look that you want, especially in a VIP meeting. 146 00:22:00.600 --> 00:22:13.530 Joseph O'Hagan: How much control do you have over the intensity of your lights do your lights have dimmers you would, you know, definitely prefer them if you could buy lights with dimmers because then you don't have to change the distance of them to get that same 147 00:22:14.580 --> 00:22:24.480 Joseph O'Hagan: Intensity control right so demos are great if you have them. If not, you know, moving your lights forward and back until you get that look that you want is is important. 148 00:22:24.930 --> 00:22:37.170 Joseph O'Hagan: I'm in the distance, really depends on the intensity. Right, so it a 60 watt bulb is at 100 watt bulb. You don't really have to do the math. You just have to move your light, a little bit further away. If it's too bright. And again, using your blinds. 149 00:22:38.610 --> 00:22:49.590 Joseph O'Hagan: As, as you can see here, like I have blinds on the Windows over there. But today I even close the blinds that are to the left because I wanted that control. I don't want clouds rolling into effect. 150 00:22:50.130 --> 00:22:59.430 Joseph O'Hagan: You know my webcam struggling to keep up with my image. And by the way, your webcam. You're in a basic situation, your webcam your automatic settings are fine. 151 00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:07.650 Joseph O'Hagan: For those very reasons like if clubs did roll through your webcam can make a little bit of an adjustment for that if you lock down your settings and you're not 152 00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:18.450 Joseph O'Hagan: You know you're not ready for that change in intensity of the sun going down or something like that, you're worse off than just using your auto settings if you're not too familiar to to tech savvy. 153 00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:27.750 Joseph O'Hagan: The automatic settings for your built in webcam or for your Logitech webcam unless you're an advanced user and you really know how to control those things. 154 00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:38.850 Joseph O'Hagan: Okay, light sources again sunlight. Be careful, we've already gone over that a little bit, but be careful with, you know, like, just know what your sources are 155 00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:47.670 Joseph O'Hagan: And this is something I see all the time. And this is something really to stay away from don't shoot your webcam into a brightly lit window right 156 00:23:48.120 --> 00:23:52.980 Joseph O'Hagan: It's going to silhouette you sometimes it's going to put you in such a harsh shadow that they can't even see you right 157 00:23:53.520 --> 00:24:02.280 Joseph O'Hagan: So if you have already set up your workstation and your meeting is today. And there's nothing else you could do about it at least close those blinds in the background. 158 00:24:02.610 --> 00:24:06.150 Joseph O'Hagan: So that the predominant light is not coming in from the back right 159 00:24:06.540 --> 00:24:18.570 Joseph O'Hagan: You want your predominant light shining on you from the front. You know, like my two lamps are doing today. They're illuminating from the front. So get that front elimination and definitely Don't point your webcam into Windows 160 00:24:20.970 --> 00:24:30.600 Joseph O'Hagan: overhead lights, you would think that these would be great. There are very few reasons why I would use an overhead light, quite honestly, and and 161 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.250 Joseph O'Hagan: And the reason is because it doesn't have the proper angle. 162 00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:43.320 Joseph O'Hagan: So this is what you would get if you're only light in the room before you start your class or your meeting was your overhead light. 163 00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:58.530 Joseph O'Hagan: All of the light is on the hair all of the shadows are on the face it bravely eliminates my big nose. As you can see there. That's not the look that you want. So don't rely on your overheads. Try to get something, you know, like the lamps more at an angle to help yourself out a little bit. 164 00:25:00.030 --> 00:25:08.640 Joseph O'Hagan: And here's the preferred the house limbs. So this is my setup. You can see on the right in the left really soft lamps, not too far away. 165 00:25:09.060 --> 00:25:17.940 Joseph O'Hagan: And I'll stop screen sharing. And you can see, like, I haven't changed the, the angle of that but it provides a nice soft light on me. 166 00:25:18.450 --> 00:25:29.130 Joseph O'Hagan: My background is a little bit more exposed than I want it to be. Because I did want to leave it on the automatic settings, but I have a little bit of control over that as well. But those lamps are particularly helpful. 167 00:25:30.450 --> 00:25:30.900 Joseph O'Hagan: Go ahead, you 168 00:25:31.530 --> 00:25:38.490 Chip Hickey: Know, so that's it that's kind of want to wrap up the lighting section, like, you know, obviously there's a lot of chat going on, which is awesome. 169 00:25:39.210 --> 00:25:48.930 Chip Hickey: Kevin, can OS AND JASON GRAY are standing by if you want to add some more questions to the chat as it relates to lighting and Joe is going to move forward. 170 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.100 Joseph O'Hagan: Alright, so I'll restart my screen share again here. 171 00:25:53.970 --> 00:26:07.380 Joseph O'Hagan: So those are my lambs. You can even go a step further. If you have a couple of extra lamps, you can kind of even eliminate your background a little bit if you want to. And the one use that I would say if the overhead light is behind you a little bit 172 00:26:07.770 --> 00:26:13.590 Joseph O'Hagan: And low intensity enough, it might help your shoulders a little bit. But otherwise, turn it off and use your lambs 173 00:26:17.670 --> 00:26:28.530 Joseph O'Hagan: Camera composition. So this is where we talk about the the framing of your shot, you know, where should your eyes be, should the camera below or higher, so that the the easy answer is 174 00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:38.850 Joseph O'Hagan: And blue jay illustrates this is you want the cameras. You want your eyes in the top of the frame right not in the middle or the bottom of the frame. 175 00:26:39.630 --> 00:26:44.490 Joseph O'Hagan: For for the best. Look, this is the TV look broadcasters use it all the time. 176 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:51.450 Joseph O'Hagan: Blue Jays eyes are a little bit bigger than normal. So it's hard to say whether or not they're 66% near the top of the frame or 75 but 177 00:26:51.690 --> 00:26:56.340 Joseph O'Hagan: You get the idea there in the upper part of the frame and right above its head, there's only a little bit of room. 178 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:11.670 Joseph O'Hagan: So I'm in contrast, I can stop the screen share here and demonstrate. So you have control over your composition. My eyes right now are fine but till down a little bit too much and they're not good anymore right bad composition Tilda. 179 00:27:12.870 --> 00:27:26.130 Joseph O'Hagan: And it's a real distraction. Right. This is not a good look either this is not you know what you would see on a broadcast news station and it's easy to control it. Right, so just bring it to where it ought to be and compose your shot. 180 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.920 Joseph O'Hagan: So I'll go back to the screen share 181 00:27:34.350 --> 00:27:34.950 Joseph O'Hagan: So, 182 00:27:35.970 --> 00:27:46.950 Joseph O'Hagan: I'm camera placement. So again to get that I level look sometimes your desk is a little bit lower, you know, for your hands and you're typing and all of that. 183 00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:55.290 Joseph O'Hagan: And your and your laptop might be low and kind of shooting up the issue with that is that you're shooting up you know basically like right into your nose and 184 00:27:55.650 --> 00:28:06.600 Joseph O'Hagan: You know it's it's not desired if you have to do it. You have to do it, but you could take a few simple steps like I i propped you know something that's about two and a half inches underneath of my laptop. 185 00:28:06.870 --> 00:28:20.610 Joseph O'Hagan: So that I raised my laptop up so that it's at the at the proper level. So like, literally, if you were to have a bubble level between your camera and your eyes, it would be perfectly level. And that's the desire. Look, if you can, if you can get that 186 00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:31.830 Joseph O'Hagan: Tilt the webcam. We went through that. So again, I'll stop the screen share here and leave a small space above your head. 187 00:28:32.340 --> 00:28:40.110 Joseph O'Hagan: And at the bottom of the the the frame just above your stomach. So we call this in in the film and television industry a medium shot. 188 00:28:40.410 --> 00:28:47.940 Joseph O'Hagan: So it's above my stomach here is that the bottom of the frame. There's a little bit of space or probably left a little bit too much space, but pretty close. 189 00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:56.460 Joseph O'Hagan: So this is a medium shot. And this is what you want to use for most of your meetings. If you have a couple of people in your webcam shot for whatever reason. 190 00:28:57.150 --> 00:29:11.160 Joseph O'Hagan: The eyes of the tallest person in the shot should be at that, you know, in the upper part of the frame. And if you could kind of make that adjustment, just like a photographer does when they take a group picture I'm trying to get everybody's eyes in the top of that frame. If you can 191 00:29:12.690 --> 00:29:14.280 Joseph O'Hagan: So let me screen share again. 192 00:29:21.870 --> 00:29:29.820 Joseph O'Hagan: And stay in the center of the frame for a few different reasons, right, usually stay in the center of the frame. Unless you, you know, have to be somewhere else. 193 00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:40.290 Joseph O'Hagan: And one reason is that if your auto everything your auto focus right and if I move from the center of the frame. It's going to focus on something behind me your image is going to look awful. Right. 194 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:52.170 Joseph O'Hagan: So unless you have to just stay in the center and your auto focus will work properly. But it's also you know that the best look in the best image, even for a TV interview or any meeting stay in the similar frame. 195 00:29:54.390 --> 00:30:02.490 Joseph O'Hagan: Chip. You want to come back on and we'll talk about our experts who will be able to help you in chat with the sound features that are coming up as well. And let me step my screen. 196 00:30:02.580 --> 00:30:03.360 Chip Hickey: Yep, so 197 00:30:04.230 --> 00:30:13.830 Chip Hickey: I'm loving all the chat that's going on with everybody again when Joe's team. We have Kevin and Jason who can talk a little bit more specifically about shot composition 198 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:23.010 Chip Hickey: And then now we're going to jump into sound, which is a key element to all of this, along with virtual backgrounds, which I know everybody's excited to hear about so 199 00:30:24.090 --> 00:30:31.920 Chip Hickey: Feel free to keep asking those questions via chat and when we get turn it back over to Liz will do a live Q AMP. A. Thank you. OK. 200 00:30:34.530 --> 00:30:36.720 Joseph O'Hagan: So the screen sharing again so I'm 201 00:30:37.650 --> 00:30:47.460 Joseph O'Hagan: So on the sound. So this is your microphone. So today, and I would recommend for classes. Use a headset and and and microphone Mike with your headset. 202 00:30:48.330 --> 00:30:54.840 Joseph O'Hagan: If you don't, you're not going on TV. If you're giving a class. It's most important that your students hear what you're saying. 203 00:30:55.710 --> 00:31:01.650 Joseph O'Hagan: And and you're relying on your built in laptop, which is you know your your microphone is two or three feet away. 204 00:31:02.520 --> 00:31:16.560 Joseph O'Hagan: Is it's not really a good idea because it's picking up everything else. So the closer that your microphone is to your mouth, the better off you're going to be, but sometimes you know for VIP things if if the headset is not the look that you're looking for. What we'll go over that as well. 205 00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:29.010 Joseph O'Hagan: So the main thing about sound is that quiet location. So we just we talked about before. WHAT NOISES could possibly happen during your class just because they're not happening at five o'clock, doesn't mean that they're going to happen. 206 00:31:29.310 --> 00:31:35.100 Joseph O'Hagan: You know, not going to happen at seven o'clock I was preparing for this thing and right when I got to the slide of the quiet location. 207 00:31:35.340 --> 00:31:46.020 Joseph O'Hagan: That trash truck drove by right some things you can't control. Some things are going to be very temporary, but I can guarantee you if somebody's jackhammer and outside your window. It's not going to go away all day. They're going to be there all day. 208 00:31:46.800 --> 00:31:50.460 Joseph O'Hagan: So know what's going on around you pay attention to those facilities. 209 00:31:51.690 --> 00:32:00.780 Joseph O'Hagan: Thing, like if you're if you're anywhere near headquarters, or if you're if you're teaching from your desk at at headquarters, but your students are remote 210 00:32:01.710 --> 00:32:06.120 Joseph O'Hagan: You know, pay attention to those facilities things to tell you that there's going to be some noise today, right. 211 00:32:06.390 --> 00:32:10.500 Joseph O'Hagan: This wing is under major construction and if the same is true of your house right 212 00:32:10.800 --> 00:32:16.500 Joseph O'Hagan: What's going on today outside of your house. Do they mow the lawn every Thursday right outside your window. Just know that that's happening. 213 00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:28.770 Joseph O'Hagan: Within your house have that conversation. Let's put off the laundry. Let's put off the the dishwasher and and absolutely be careful about how close you are to the restroom, for obvious reasons. Those sounds coming from there. 214 00:32:30.360 --> 00:32:35.460 Joseph O'Hagan: Expect the unexpected interruptions. You know, like if you have a pet at home you know like 215 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:48.480 Joseph O'Hagan: How often does your dog bark and what does he Barca that trash truck rolls down the down the street. Does he bark at that all the time. Like can the dog be in another room far away from you before your class get started. Expect the unexpected to happen. 216 00:32:49.980 --> 00:33:02.940 Joseph O'Hagan: Distance from the microphone so obviously my mic great distance so distant microphones are your choice. And they're in your zoom settings that are in the back of in the link from your basic tips document. Right. 217 00:33:03.870 --> 00:33:15.720 Joseph O'Hagan: You're how to check your audio how to choose which microphone you're using right now. I could choose one of three different microphones, I have this one, but the Logitech webcam also has a microphone. 218 00:33:16.020 --> 00:33:29.850 Joseph O'Hagan: And the laptop has a built in microphone. Which one do you need to choose. And do you even know which one it is. Because it's important that you know how far away you are from it in order to get good quality sound in your in your 219 00:33:30.270 --> 00:33:34.770 Joseph O'Hagan: In your session. So my choices here, but if it was the webcam. 220 00:33:35.370 --> 00:33:44.010 Joseph O'Hagan: And I pull myself back I'm pulling myself further away from the webcam and it's going to sound different. It's going to sound lower and if I'm too close to it. It's going to be too distorted. 221 00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:55.500 Joseph O'Hagan: You didn't hear that because this is my actual microphone here but know which microphone you chose when you set up your session know how far you are from it. Very important. 222 00:33:57.270 --> 00:34:05.940 Joseph O'Hagan: You do have microphones purchase options. And again, they're there in the link. It's called recommended gadgets on page two of your basic tips document. 223 00:34:07.050 --> 00:34:13.980 Joseph O'Hagan: There's a lot of things in there. We're not saying, choose the whole cart. We're saying browse the car and purchase the things that make the most sense to you. 224 00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:25.800 Joseph O'Hagan: Level there and microphone is a great choice right level here with a USB input right into your right into your laptop, and then you don't, you can you can have great sound. 225 00:34:26.610 --> 00:34:40.290 Joseph O'Hagan: Without the look of having a headset on your head, you can maybe use an ear, but to hear and a leveler microphone to speak, all of those are potential purchases in your microphone purchase options on your tip sheet. 226 00:34:41.250 --> 00:34:46.620 Joseph O'Hagan: But one thing to be very aware of this, how many USB inputs, do you have right so 227 00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:59.280 Joseph O'Hagan: If your laptop has two USB inputs and you've already used them you don't have another one for your microphone so which which USB inputs, you know, what are your highest priority devices for your USB inputs. 228 00:34:59.910 --> 00:35:14.820 Joseph O'Hagan: How many inputs you have in your laptop is directly relevant to whether or not you can add a USB microphone to your system right so know how it gets into your laptop and and you know, analyze whether or not you've got the input Stephen handle that. 229 00:35:16.080 --> 00:35:27.810 Joseph O'Hagan: So here's a couple of options. Obviously, I'm using the headset mic on the gadget. On the left is for pro microphone so we have something called XLR where the microphone on the right has three pins. 230 00:35:28.140 --> 00:35:32.010 Joseph O'Hagan: We have a gadget that converts that the USB and then into your laptop. 231 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:39.030 Joseph O'Hagan: You can go that high end if you want to. And you can go that high end if you're tech savvy enough to do that. And if you got the budget for that. 232 00:35:39.690 --> 00:35:48.090 Joseph O'Hagan: But the basics you know that the basic setup you know like I have here. I think it's pretty pretty clear to hear what I'm saying. 233 00:35:48.390 --> 00:35:57.690 Joseph O'Hagan: And I can hear the session with my headset and without all of the distractions that are going on in the house so chip is back on. Let me see what he's got here. 234 00:35:58.350 --> 00:36:02.370 Chip Hickey: Just want to remind everybody, like any other service within multimedia 235 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:13.440 Chip Hickey: A lot of a lot of you. We've heard from that it said well you know i don't have a professional space or I don't have a studio and some of this doesn't make sense. There are definite tips. 236 00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:24.180 Chip Hickey: That Joe sharing that everyone can manipulate and we encourage you, you know, we've we're working from remote longer than we anticipated back when we left the building in March, we want to make sure that everyone 237 00:36:24.600 --> 00:36:30.630 Chip Hickey: Who's doing this on a daily basis is considering some of these things as you move forward because 238 00:36:31.110 --> 00:36:42.540 Chip Hickey: Whether it's teaching or whether it's meetings and sometimes when we have a casual meeting, I might have the dog sit next to me. But if I'm in a VIP type meeting I may choose to not go that route for obvious reasons. 239 00:36:43.860 --> 00:36:56.370 Chip Hickey: So I want to introduce Elena McCUSKER AND SEE notes and Matt Martin, who are also standing by specifically as it relates to the audio section of this presentation. So you can ask some chat questions there. 240 00:36:57.120 --> 00:37:05.850 Chip Hickey: We also know like every other service. If you need some one on one help that you are well within your right to reach out to multimedia. We're here to serve you guys 241 00:37:06.210 --> 00:37:17.280 Chip Hickey: And a lot of questions that may start to come up now may be related to your specific desktop or your laptop or the microphone that you were using. And the thing you're considering the by 242 00:37:17.670 --> 00:37:28.890 Chip Hickey: Please feel free to reach out to multimedia and get some one on one help in making some of those decisions for you. And then just going to move on to virtual backgrounds and we'll be wrapping up here in a few minutes. 243 00:37:33.300 --> 00:37:40.380 Joseph O'Hagan: Alright thanks chip. So virtual backgrounds on. I'm not going to assume that everybody knows what these are. But most of you have probably used them. 244 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:50.070 Joseph O'Hagan: Virtual backgrounds of are those things that instead of having a hard background behind you, like I have here, it's, you know, like, hopefully, like a school branded 245 00:37:51.870 --> 00:37:57.270 Joseph O'Hagan: 16 by nine widescreen virtual background. You can find them on the day GSB portal. 246 00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:08.190 Joseph O'Hagan: It's it's under branding and design tools zoom and interview backgrounds and it's also there's a direct link to it, also from the tips document as well. 247 00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:20.880 Joseph O'Hagan: So it's constantly updated. Jay, just pH has put six, eight of them I think on there. There are the technicians that are going to come full screen when we do the q&a 248 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:27.060 Joseph O'Hagan: Some of them are have been asked to just show a different virtual background so that you see our DHS pH choices. 249 00:38:27.540 --> 00:38:34.320 Joseph O'Hagan: But either pulling off the portal or link to them from the tips, Doc. And that's where to find them on as far as how to load them. 250 00:38:35.010 --> 00:38:48.540 Joseph O'Hagan: There's also a link on page two of the tips document that goes directly to especially to zoom where it's instructions on how to load them into your into your own zoom software. 251 00:38:49.170 --> 00:38:57.840 Joseph O'Hagan: On your laptop so that you can preload them and then choose them to use them when you want to. So this is one of my favorites. The reason is 252 00:38:58.500 --> 00:39:04.470 Joseph O'Hagan: That I like that it's dark. I think, you know, we kind of like with good lighting would kind of pop out in the front of it. 253 00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:17.040 Joseph O'Hagan: This is one of the choices. It's got the school name on the top, beautiful picture of the school, but it's also not too busy in the middle like you know like imagining your image in front of that would be. 254 00:39:18.030 --> 00:39:26.760 Joseph O'Hagan: Nice to see with that dark background and nice contrast. So that's one of my favorites. But you'll see a bunch of them that the techs are going to be using a little bit later. 255 00:39:28.530 --> 00:39:36.510 Joseph O'Hagan: When they use them and when not to use them. So I'm going to screen share. I'm going to stop screen share because I'm going to load a virtual background of my own. 256 00:39:37.740 --> 00:39:49.530 Joseph O'Hagan: To demonstrate that you know they're not perfect and they're not professional TV quality green screen. So think twice about when you would want to use them and how big your VIP session is so 257 00:39:50.160 --> 00:39:59.790 Joseph O'Hagan: This is one of the gh you backgrounds. Obviously the JDS pH, you know, our texts will show you a lot of the JDS pH choice. 258 00:40:00.270 --> 00:40:08.730 Joseph O'Hagan: Choices. A little bit later on. And you can see, you know, when I move this is not a pro green screen you see the white, you know, above the head on near the earphones. 259 00:40:09.120 --> 00:40:18.840 Joseph O'Hagan: Especially when you move you know there's problems on the shoulders and that type of thing. It can be a little bit distracting if you are on a Face the Nation interview about coronavirus right 260 00:40:19.710 --> 00:40:27.420 Joseph O'Hagan: You might want to just take the time to sit up a hard background, rather than choose this. But they're great for casual meetings. 261 00:40:28.080 --> 00:40:35.760 Joseph O'Hagan: We have a gentleman in the Office of Information Technology who puts llamas back there for casual meetings and it breaks the ice, it's, it's great you know 262 00:40:36.450 --> 00:40:52.050 Joseph O'Hagan: Use a little humor with them. If you can, as long as that is appropriate, obviously. But when you're in in meetings that have to do with School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University were strongly encouraging you to use the Johns Hopkins approved backgrounds. 263 00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:55.080 Joseph O'Hagan: And there's Ross. 264 00:40:58.560 --> 00:41:07.920 Joseph O'Hagan: And Ross has his little puppy dog. So this is the Director of Information Technology with his puppy dog demonstrating the the the appropriate use of 265 00:41:09.240 --> 00:41:12.120 Joseph O'Hagan: Humor for the casual meetings for virtual backgrounds. 266 00:41:14.640 --> 00:41:15.600 Joseph O'Hagan: And there's the llama. 267 00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:19.410 Ross McKenzie: Camel for hump day 268 00:41:19.710 --> 00:41:21.270 Joseph O'Hagan: I hope that's not your dog. 269 00:41:22.830 --> 00:41:25.080 Joseph O'Hagan: That is the ugliest dog. I've ever see 270 00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:38.100 Joseph O'Hagan: So let me just finish out here really quickly chip on the virtual backgrounds. So when to use them casual meetings on presentations and discussions. 271 00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:50.730 Joseph O'Hagan: When not to use them VIP meetings TV interviews. And this is just my opinion, by the way, I'm not saying you can't do it, but just think twice about how professional, you need to be and whether or not it may be a distraction. 272 00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:54.210 Joseph O'Hagan: Lighting is important for virtual backgrounds. 273 00:41:55.680 --> 00:42:05.700 Joseph O'Hagan: And don't count on the fact that your background. When you move that you're hiding anything that's behind you that's that's a caution that I have about the backgrounds as well that 274 00:42:06.120 --> 00:42:13.260 Joseph O'Hagan: If it when you move suddenly what is actually behind you may appear. So, you know, be careful with your background and 275 00:42:14.190 --> 00:42:26.850 Joseph O'Hagan: I haven't tested this myself, but I heard that, you know, having a green fabric, similar to the TV green screen is recommended for virtual backgrounds and it may hide some of those problems that I that I shared a little bit earlier. 276 00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:30.150 Joseph O'Hagan: So I'll stop the screen share so chip, they're 277 00:42:34.470 --> 00:42:35.640 Chip Hickey: Not so. 278 00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:38.670 Chip Hickey: That pretty much sums up our 279 00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:43.080 Chip Hickey: Our, our formal presentation, Joe. Did you have any closing remarks. 280 00:42:43.710 --> 00:42:47.730 Joseph O'Hagan: Yeah, just really quickly. I just wanted to show them a different screen share 281 00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:49.860 Joseph O'Hagan: With the 282 00:42:54.270 --> 00:43:02.820 Joseph O'Hagan: Now actually, let's just conclude with, you know, all of us really going to show you this page to that basic tips doc and all of the various links, but 283 00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:11.970 Joseph O'Hagan: If you have questions that are beyond how you look, and your lighting and your sound and all of that. There's a lot of zoom tips. There's a lot of IT resources of the the it 284 00:43:13.020 --> 00:43:20.070 Joseph O'Hagan: The Help numbers for contacting you know the help desk and the multimedia technicians are on the second page there too. 285 00:43:21.330 --> 00:43:31.710 Joseph O'Hagan: So that's all I wanted to show and we can kind of move on to the Q AMP. A I'll keep my virtual background up and and we'll see the technicians coming on, who can answer a lot of your questions for you. 286 00:43:32.580 --> 00:43:37.410 Chip Hickey: So thank you Joe. Liz will turn it over to you. I just wanted to mention to everybody that again. 287 00:43:38.640 --> 00:43:49.560 Chip Hickey: Like every other service. I mentioned this a few minutes ago. We understand that everyone's, you know, not one CNN every day. But this might be for your teaching environment, it might be four meetings. 288 00:43:50.010 --> 00:44:01.740 Chip Hickey: But we only we only go over all this stuff because we like you are in meetings every single day. And we're seeing a lot of trends that we tried to help you consider or correct in today's presentation. 289 00:44:02.550 --> 00:44:08.040 Chip Hickey: So we hope that you know it was beneficial. We may have time for one or two questions. 290 00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:24.060 Chip Hickey: I've asked my production staff to unmute their video and audio at this time. And depending on the question, I'll direct that accordingly. But I also want to give time for Liz to kind of recap and promote her series. Again, which is awesome. Thank you. 291 00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:30.360 Elizabeth Stuart: Thank you so much. This has been great. And you can see I took a couple things into 292 00:44:30.390 --> 00:44:34.020 Elizabeth Stuart: Account. I added a virtual background and put my air pods in so 293 00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:40.020 Elizabeth Stuart: Real time, you know, changes. So I don't know if anyone can tell the difference in the audio. 294 00:44:40.890 --> 00:44:47.850 Elizabeth Stuart: Before, and after. So thank you so much and I hope everyone, it's really nice to see the whole team or not the whole team, but up 295 00:44:48.660 --> 00:44:59.940 Elizabeth Stuart: A bunch of the team members here to show that we do have a great multimedia IP team that is here to help everyone. And so I know you know we've seen lots of questions in the chat. Now, but also 296 00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:15.000 Elizabeth Stuart: There's lots of questions that come up and, you know, reach out, put in to help, call they're they're here to help. So that's really why we want to start out with this session and part to make sure that everyone knows about the great resources team, we have 297 00:45:16.560 --> 00:45:32.010 Elizabeth Stuart: I didn't notice any questions in the chat that sort of weren't fairly easily answered on the chat. But I did want to give an opportunity for anyone to raise their hand if you do have a question that's maybe a little harder to just write out in a sentence or two. 298 00:45:32.370 --> 00:45:40.710 Chip Hickey: Yeah, Liz. I also wanted to mention that we are recording this session. I don't know if we mentioned that at the top, but the session is being recorded so you can use this as a resource. 299 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:47.880 Elizabeth Stuart: Yeah, and I will come back to that in a minute. When I talk about the resources, a little bit more 300 00:45:51.060 --> 00:45:51.630 Elizabeth Stuart: Question. 301 00:45:55.560 --> 00:45:56.400 Elizabeth Stuart: But maybe as 302 00:45:57.870 --> 00:46:12.330 Elizabeth Stuart: I kind of monitoring. I don't see any hands raised. But, and so maybe I will go back and share my slides again just to kind of take a couple minutes to describe what else we are planning. 303 00:46:15.180 --> 00:46:15.690 Elizabeth Stuart: So, 304 00:46:17.580 --> 00:46:18.240 Elizabeth Stuart: This is 305 00:46:19.740 --> 00:46:34.470 Elizabeth Stuart: Again, and we don't we have until three so feel free to continue thinking of questions, but I'll talk for another minute while we're waiting, so again, please reach out to me with any ideas comments or questions. You know, we're here, and I know everyone's going to be working really hard. 306 00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:41.550 Elizabeth Stuart: I think we did a great job in fourth term and I'm really confident that we can really do a great job again in the fall. So 307 00:46:42.060 --> 00:46:52.800 Elizabeth Stuart: But we're here to help provide some additional resources on this slide just had some additional links. I think many of these were included in the chat box. And so you can see those links there. 308 00:46:54.180 --> 00:47:02.550 Elizabeth Stuart: I wanted to mention again the next workshop is June 25 at four. We're trying to sort of stagger the times and day to make sure that people don't have a recurring conflict. 309 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:11.610 Elizabeth Stuart: And that one is going to focus on student engagement and sort of strategies for structuring an online course to think about ways to engage students from a distance. 310 00:47:12.870 --> 00:47:22.980 Elizabeth Stuart: And then I wanted to also just mentioned I alluded to this. I guess I'll go back to this slide I mentioned briefly. This one stop shop for teaching related resources. 311 00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:32.280 Elizabeth Stuart: And so I just want to take another minute to talk about that, it's basically going to be a, you know, the Center for Teaching and Learning has amazing resources available ready and multimedia has a lot 312 00:47:32.700 --> 00:47:42.510 Elizabeth Stuart: What we're putting together is one web page that will sort of, in some sense, provide all of the key resources that I think are going to be really crucial for the fall and sort of quick tips on different topics. 313 00:47:43.200 --> 00:47:54.840 Elizabeth Stuart: That page will have a link to all of these workshop series of recordings from these. And the other thing we are trying out on there is we're going to have a link to a Microsoft Teams site. 314 00:47:55.470 --> 00:48:04.860 Elizabeth Stuart: I know teams, at least in my world teams and yet fully integrated, although I will say my elementary school age kids used it for their online learning the spring. 315 00:48:05.340 --> 00:48:11.580 Elizabeth Stuart: But we're hoping to create basically a discussion board forum there for people to like sort of post questions share tips. 316 00:48:11.790 --> 00:48:20.610 Elizabeth Stuart: And just provide sort of a way for faculty and staff to talk to each other in a really sort of informal just information sharing and kind of question answering format so 317 00:48:21.060 --> 00:48:29.850 Elizabeth Stuart: Again, all of those things will be linked on sort of one page. And we'll be sending out details on that really soon. It's a, it's getting close. We're not quite ready for prime time 318 00:48:30.780 --> 00:48:39.210 Elizabeth Stuart: The other thing I'll just note, while I have everyone's attention is CTA only multimedia, are very happy to come to departments and do and like maybe do a 319 00:48:39.990 --> 00:48:59.310 Elizabeth Stuart: hour long thing for individual departments and so if you think that would be useful, reach out to me or or maybe soupon or Kathy gratia at CCL and we can connect you to have sort of department focused conversations. So let me go back and see if any other questions came up 320 00:49:00.330 --> 00:49:09.060 Elizabeth Stuart: I did maybe. Does anyone want to anyone on the multimedia team want to talk about the kind of color and background questions that are coming up right now in the chat. 321 00:49:09.330 --> 00:49:14.760 Chip Hickey: Yes. See, and I think address that in a, you know, the chat a couple minutes ago but sandy have any more feedback. 322 00:49:17.580 --> 00:49:27.540 Cian Oatts: Now, I mean it's just what I said. You just want to make sure that the, the more differentiate the more differentiation, you have in your colors of your clothes from your background, it makes it easier for your cabin tech 323 00:49:28.140 --> 00:49:35.010 Cian Oatts: And put the virtual background behind you. You're wearing dark colors you have a dark background. It's not going to reward you. You actually noticed like SPOTS EVERYWHERE. 324 00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:41.340 Cian Oatts: So if you can, you know, if you have a black or dark backgrounds were lighter colors and you should be fine, and vice versa. 325 00:49:42.030 --> 00:49:42.930 Chip Hickey: Awesome. Thank you. 326 00:49:48.180 --> 00:49:49.560 Elizabeth Stuart: Any other questions. 327 00:49:52.860 --> 00:50:02.100 Elizabeth Stuart: All right, well, maybe in the spirit of the, you know, we had an email sent out about a 15 minute meetings, rather than hour long meetings to give people a few minutes between 328 00:50:03.240 --> 00:50:12.240 Elizabeth Stuart: Calls if there's no other questions, we can finish up, I again just really want to thank all of you for joining. I'm thrilled with having about 50 people on 329 00:50:12.660 --> 00:50:23.310 Elizabeth Stuart: And and hopefully these resources will be helpful to everyone and we'll all be very professional in our multimedia sound audio video capabilities. 330 00:50:24.060 --> 00:50:33.330 Elizabeth Stuart: So thank you so much and please spread the word. Everyone who was on please continue to share these resources with the people who couldn't join us so great. Have a nice afternoon everyone.
