9:30am - 10:00am   The Big Picture: Panning the Room
Speaker: Robin Robinson, Director of Education Technology and Instructional Design, Framingham State University

As access to recording devices and technologies becomes more available institutions are adopting innovative uses of lecture capture tools to engage students, reach external audiences and challenge the boundaries of the traditional classroom. Examples include recording class lectures for flipped learning, course content reviews pre and post exams, student presentations or reflections, remote classroom instruction and engagement with guest speakers. During this session, we wish to hear from you. How are these tools used by your institutions or what would you like to use? What challenges do you face? What questions need answering?

10:00am - 10:15am   Break

10:15am - 11:15am   Campus Conversations
Speakers:
April Bellafiore, Dean of eLearning, Bristol Community College
David Blezard, Senior IT Manager, Academic Technology,  University of New Hampshire
Stacy Cohen, Instructional Technologist,  Framingham State University
Eric LePage,Director of the Teaching & Technology Center,  Bridgewater State University,

The use of video on our campuses is as varied as the stories of our presenters. From mobile access and putting the power of lecture capture tools into the hands of students to transitioning platforms and technology, the panel will share their challenges and innovative approaches to a plethora of projects.

11:15am - 12:00pm   Accessibility: Campus Perspectives
Speakers:
David Blezard, Senior IT Manager, Academic Technology, University of New Hampshire
Stacy Cohen, Instructional Technologist, Framingham State University
Michael McIntire, Manager, Media & Collaboration, University of New Hampshire

Lecture capture and other video technologies open up questions of accessibility to both the auditory and visual content.  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, course content needs to be “accessible,” meaning that someone with a disability can get the same information as someone without.  The immediate response is usually to have video be closed captioned.  That’s a start, but there are different levels of captioning, different technologies to produce them, and different costs. This session will explore how schools have worked with closed captioning and other solutions in their lecture capture and video environments, including the methods, costs, politics, and broader applications of “accessibility.”

12:00pm - 1:00pm   Lunch

1:00pm - 1:45pm   The One Button Studio
Speaker:
Harris Bloomwald, Audio Visual Technician, Bridgewater State University
Eric LePage, Director of the Teaching & Technology Center, Bridgewater State University
Tim Wenson, Academic Technology Specialist, Bridgewater State University

In early 2016 at Bridgewater State University, Information Technology partnered with the Library and Facilities on the development of a One Button Studio, a self-service video recording studio modeled on Penn State's innovative implementation. Since that time, the One Button Studio (OBS) has had over 600 students, faculty, and staff visitors use the OBS recording station for a variety of purposes - video presentation assignments, lecture capture, presentation delivery self-critiques, and more.  There have been many lessons learned, and as a result most of the equipment and support services have been updated.  Join BSU IT staff as they share their inspirations and experiences in bringing the One Button Studio online, as well as the latest development in the studio space - the addition of a podcast recording station.

1:45pm - 2:15pm   Remote Distributed Learning: Classroom Demonstration
Speakers:   
April Bellafiore, Dean of eLearning, Bristol Community College
Stacy Cohen, Instructional Technologist,  Bridgewater State University
Robin Robinson, Director of Education Technology and Instructional Design, Framingham State University 

Synchronized distributed learning uses technology to allow real-time student and instructor interaction from multiple locations. This model enables collaboration among students across geographically distinct campus locations and between multiple institutions. Framingham will share their experience in collaborating with two other MA institutions to offer modern language courses in this model and Bristol will share their campus-to-campus efforts in growing and sustaining smaller programs and specialized course offerings.  

2:15pm - 2:45pm   Hands-on session

During the remaining time, participants are invited to ask questions of the presenters and use technologies mentioned in the presentations including (but not limited to):
  - 360 cameras
  -  Livestream connections
  - VR technologies

2:45pm - 3:00pm   Questions and Wrap-up

3:00pm   End
