Videos are often the most highly engaging pieces of content in a course. Videos can be used to introduce new course content, reinforce concepts already learned, share demonstrations, simulations, and much more. You may know that NSU has a media server called SharkMedia which is our branded version of Kaltura. During this workshop, we will review the many capabilities of the SharkMedia platform. We will show you where you can find every function in the platform, from uploading videos, all the way to creating chapter markers and playlists for your students.

If you want to increase student engagement and personalize feedback within your Shark Media videos, the Annoto Widget workshop was created just for you. The Annoto widget is a tool that integrates with Shark Media and can be used in Canvas enabling you to add interactive elements to your videos. You can use it to create questions, quizzes, surveys, polls, and discussions that appear on the video timeline. You and your students can also use it to annotate your videos with highlights, notes, links, and images.

Flip is an easy-to-use tool to foster strong connections within a Canvas course. This tool is offered to educators for free and can be integrated into your Canvas Course to allow students and you the opportunity to record their responses to topics in fun and innovative ways. The social experience of letting students use creativity in composing their video allows them to engage with a topic that stimulates thought-provoking responses from the students and can also be entertaining. Join us to learn more about using this engaging tool in your courses.
