Slides for this event are available below:

We hope you will join us either in person in HA 492 or online via Zoom.

The agenda of the session is as follows: 

  • Updates from the Dean’s Office regarding the latest data on international student success at getting to campus and student vaccination rates.
  • Lecture capture (recordings): Learning Services will walk you through investments that have been made in our classrooms by Sauder and UBC.  We will show the plans support the capture of your lectures, how to make them available to students who are delayed arriving to campus or need to quarantine or self-isolate, as well as plans for welcoming remote guest speakers that many of you have asked about.
  • How you will be supported: we will discuss current plans in place for you and your TA’s, including the new STP (Sauder Teaching Playbook) which is an easy to use and search reference for Sauder teaching resources, tips, and tools.
  • Q&A – the LS team will stay as long as there are questions and discussions.  If you have current pressing concerns that you want addressed from a pedagogy and/or technology perspective, please send them to Rob ahead of the meeting.

Branding your videos

There are two ways to brand your videos. One is using the automated branding service via Panopto that was developed by Sauder Learning Services. The other is for those who already edit your own videos, we have created Sauder branding templates for the two most popular video editing software suites (scroll towards the bottom for the templates. Note: you must be signed in to access the templates).

Automated branding service

Here is an example output of our automated branding service. The branding intro, watermark, and outro in this video were added automatically with our new software integration. This example is embedded using Panopto video platform:

To use the automated branding tool, please follow these steps and prerequisites for your video:

  1. Record your video and edit content as usual using a technology outlined above. Please note: ensure you have at least 3 seconds of silence at the beginning and end of your video for the transitions between the branding slides.
  2. Upload your video to your personal folder in Panopto.
    • If you have a Panopto account and you use cloud recordings for your live Zoom classes, the cloud recordings will also get pushed to Panopto and placed in a folder named “Meeting Recordings” in your “My Folder”.
  3. Visit our web request form to tell us which video you would like branded and the text for the beginning titles.
  4. Once processed, we will upload the branded version to your folder where you can share and embed in Canvas as usual. The processing turnaround time is 24-hours.

Self-serve templates

Note: the template files are only available to signed in users.
