“The idea [is] that you record the students doing whatever it is that they have to do, and make the videos available to students afterwards so that they can review [and] see what they did wrong, maybe pick up a few ideas, get some feedback and improve the next time around,” said Flynn.
Kaltura’s webcam recording feature allows professors to better communicate with distance learners. Professors can record class feedback or announcements and make their messages a little more personal.
Looking forward, Flynn believes that informing faculty members about Kaltura’s interesting features is the key to its long-term success at NUI Galway. She created a guidebook that explains how Kaltura works for professors, and hopes that her efforts will empower the faculty to step out of their shells and embrace the new technology.
“Now that we have started and we have the infrastructure in place, we need to ramp up our training, and we need to have a lot more of those studio workshops where we can bring staff into the studio and show them how it all works,” said Flynn.
