What multimedia tools are available?

The table below contains information on the various multimedia-centered tools available to faculty and supported by the Office of eLearning.

Tool Description
Isidore (Sakai LMS) Isidore is the chosen Learning Management System (LMS) in use at the University of Dayton. An LMS is a portal to host course content, assessments, assignments, gradebooks, and many other integrated learning technologies to assist and supplement the classroom instruction. Isidore is the portal through which you and your students will conduct the most important aspects of course communication outside of the classroom.
Zoom Zoom is the chosen platform for web conferencing at the University of Dayton. Zoom will be the means by which you hold your online class sessions, office hours, and other meetings for online or hybrid courses.
Snagit Snagit is a software program that allows you to create images and videos to give feedback, create clear documentation, and show others exactly what you see. It can be used to record video lectures using screen record, webcam recording, or a combination of both. Snagit licenses are available to instructors only and can be requested by emailing elearning@udayton.edu.
Warpwire Warpwire is an integrated video software for use in Isidore. Warpwire is added as a tool in Isidore and is an ideal place for storage of course videos. Warpwire may also be used to make screen recordings, live broadcasting, and webcam recordings as well. Warpwire videos are easily integrated into course lessons, assignments, forums, announcements and even tests and quizzes.
Learning Apps Learning Apps are tools developed by the Office of E-Learning in response to instructors' requests for tools that are centered around helping students learn more effectively. Learning apps run on the TSUGI framework. The list of Learning Apps will grow as we build more of these tools.
  • Interactive Video: The Interactive Video learning app allows instructors to add questions to videos that pop up at certain timestamps. To watch the duration of the video, students must answer these questions. Instructors can see if students watched the entire video, as well as students' responses to the questions.
  • The Photo Gallery tool can be used in your course site for both students and instructors to upload photos. The photos can be given descriptions, then displayed on a single page within your course site.

Use of other software and tools are certainly possible but support may not be available if it is not a part of eLearning’s or UDIT’s realm of supported software/hardware .
