Instructional Material Creation

Classroom Recording

The Classroom Studio is a multipurpose studio that is configured like a traditional classroom with seating for 30 students.  A technician is responsible for operating all aspects of the studio classroom so you can focus on delivering your presentation. 

If you would like to prepare materials for online or hybrid courses, the classroom studio is a great option.  You're welcome to produce content in front of a live student class or alone on your own time.  Also if you need to miss a class due to conference travel, jury duty, or other planned absences, let us assist you in creating content so your students do not fall behind.

Best Practices

• Prepare and test your materials in advance and bring your materials on your own laptop or on a thumb drive.
• Review the Classroom Recording Preparation Tip Sheet (PDF) 
• If desired, select a background image you would like to use with the green screen option.
• If it is your first time in the Classroom Studio and would like an orientation, please note so in the request.

Lightboard Recording

Mediavision, in collaboration with the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFE), has an innovative technology available for content development.

Lightboard provides a unique way to capture your lecture using glass as your chalkboard and provided markers as your chalk. Instructors are able to engage with their students while writing and describing the content face forward.

Best Practices

• All first-timers, please set up an instructional design consultation with our colleagues in CAFE before requesting to use the lightboard.
• Make sure to prepare your lesson ahead of time with an outline.
• For any content you'd like to use in your presentation (e.g. PowerPoint, JPG, PDF, etc.), ensure that the background is black, as this will appear invisible and allow you to engage with this content. Here is a PowerPoint Template for you to download to prepare your presentation (PPT).
• Provide your PowerPoint, PDF, or JPG to MediaVision at least 24 hours prior to recording: mediavision@cpp.edu.
• Be sure to wear solid, darker shades of clothing.
• Make your lesson short! No longer than 6 minutes; one concept, one problem.
