UM Blackboard users,
The Tegrity webinar below appears to be a sales pitch for administrators, but faculty might also be interested in participating. Tegrity has a system that allows faculty to capture lectures, including audio, slides, talking head, document camera, and more. At UM the PDTO (Professional Development and Training Office) uses a Tegrity system to create the presentations for new employees. Most of a new employee's orientation is now done on-line, watching presentations created with the Tegrity system. Tegrity has a new system to capture and upload the audio from class lectures in a highly automated process but it seems VERY expensive, to me.
If you are interested in learning about Tegrity, you might want to sign up for the Webinar taking place Wednesday, January 15, 1:00 PM. Go to this link to sign up:
