  • Echo360 Intermediate Training, 11:00-12:30
    • The College of Pharmacy adopted Echo 360 as our lecture capture and hosting tool in 2019. Since then, the Echo 360 team has continued to make advancements in what their tool can do! In this virtual session, join OEIS team members and representatives from Echo 360 to learn more about the following engagement tools within the Echo 360 platform: 
      • Interactive Media: A type of media which allows for embedded polls/quizzes within your Echo 360 videos. 
      • Confusion flags: An engagement tool which allows students to mark which part of a lecture video is confusing to them. 
      • Video analytics: Provides the number of views, time watched, etc. 
  • Effective Educational Videos: 1:30-3:00
    • What do you think has been most effective in educational or course videos that you have seen or used? In this workshop, learn about pedagogical and technical considerations for educational video production from the OEIS team. Additionally, the OEIS team will walk you through the development of your own educational video idea and how to get started
