Publishing

MediaSite is a lecture capture tool that allows faculty to publish their classroom recordings for students to reference. This lecture capture tool can be used to simultaneously capture the video/audio in the room and the presentation on the computer. Here is a Mediasite example.

MediaSite creates an interactive experience that allows students to watch the video and slides together or choose to watch just the slides or the video.

MediaSite is currently available in Coronado 102, Beyster Institute for Nursing Research 207 and 209 and the School of Law classrooms. Contact Media Services at ims@sandiego.edu to find out who your area booking manager is or ask your local IT representative.

If you would like to see if your lecture can be recorded in another room, please fill out a video production request and we will respond within 24-48 hours with an update to let you know if your lecture can be filmed with our mobile MediaSite unit.

MyMediasite is a software you can use to record your webcam and/or desktop.

The Ensemble Video Server is our ‘in-house’ location for streaming media and is the most secure of all the publishing options as the presentation is streamed, rather than downloaded as a file. Another feature of the streamer is that you may publish large files that are then compressed and optimized for you.

Within each video, you also have the option of adding links to multimedia files, a description of the video, use automated closed-captions and create chapter marker annotations to highlight key sections for easier navigation. View our Ensemble Portal to get an idea on how videos are displayed.

The staff member or professor is in full control of what and when is published. Videos can be published to a link as a single video or a playlist with multiple videos that can be posted on a web site, as an email link, or securely embedded inside Blackboard.
