There is a brief intro of NYU Stream in our general Remote Teaching Resources, however we just wanted to provide a few more indepth resouces to this tool and how it can help support the learning outcomes of many PS classes.
NYU Stream provides the NYU community with a wealth of media tools that facilitate collaborative communications, content sharing, as well as a repository to store your audio, video, and images files.
NYU Stream is a great way to share media via NYU Classes (faculty only), NYU Wikis, Web Publishing, Google Sites, as well as any other website that you have publishing rights.
3 Helpful NYU Stream Tools:
Kaltura Capture:
This tool allows you to record a webcam video of you giving a lecture while also recording a second video feed of your screen. It will produce two files you can upload on to NYU Classes or store on NYU Stream. This can support any sort of asynchronous videos you would like to share with your class.
Express Capture:
This tool allows you to record a webcam video of you giving a lecture or instructions to your class. You can also complete very basic video editing tasks to essentially trim the video or use just an excerpt from the video. Once the video is complete you can host it on NYU Stream to share with your class via NYU Classes.
Annoto:
This tool enables viewers to add text-based comments and facilitates conversation that is linked to specific points of the video. It is available within your NYU Classes course sites or through a channel on NYU Stream. This elminates the struggles of screensharing a video on Zoom and trying to watch the video with a class. Zoom screensharing videos could lag different lyfor each user and also required students to keep up with the Zoom chat as a "discussion" about the video happening in a separate window. This tool allows viewers to add comments to specific time marked points on the video as well as allowing others to "like" those comments or respond to them and create a comment thread. The video is then saved with the comments to allow students to refer back to the video to remember the discussion and supplement their own notes.
