Description
Welcome to WeVideo
This recorded webinar explores the video creation and interactivity tools available to California Community Colleges that have migrated from PlayPosit to WeVideo. It supports users in applying existing knowledge while introducing features that enhance instructional design within the WeVideo platform.
What You Will Learn
This webinar provides guidance for users at colleges that have migrated to WeVideo, helping them develop robust, engaging learning experiences.
- Stream videos from multiple sources (e.g., 3C Media, Canvas Studio, YouTube)
- Create engaging video lessons with quizzes, discussions, and annotations
- Track student progress and identify areas needing additional support
- Assign and grade within Canvas
Q&A
Q: When using YouTube videos, how can transcript accessibility and copyright compliance be evaluated?
A: Not all transcripts meet accessibility standards. To align with WCAG 2.1 (Level AA), review the following:
Accuracy: Auto-generated captions may contain errors and lack proper punctuation.
Speaker Identification and Sound Indicators: Captions should identify speakers and include relevant non-speech elements.
Synchronization: Captions should align with spoken audio and remain visible long enough to be read.
If captions are insufficient, consider using tools such as WeVideo to generate and edit captions.
For copyright considerations:
- License Filtering: Use Creative Commons filters on YouTube.
- Fair Use: Educational use is not automatically compliant and should be evaluated carefully.
Q: How can I get assistance with a PlayPosit or WeVideo issue?
A: If you run into any technical issues, please email support@wevideo.com and CC stephanie@wevideo.com.
Q: Can fill-in-the-blank questions include multiple blanks?
A: Yes, fill-in-the-blank interactions can include multiple blanks. Each blank can support multiple correct answers, allow partial credit, and is not case-sensitive but remains spelling-sensitive.
Q: Are there strategies to reduce the misuse of transcripts or AI-generated responses by students?
A: Interactive video tools can incorporate features such as randomized question banks and engagement analytics (e.g., time spent) to encourage active participation and reduce passive or automated responses.
Q: Can YouTube playlists be used directly in interactive video tools?
A: Currently, YouTube playlists may not be directly supported. As a workaround, multiple videos can be combined using video segments or grouped into playlists within the platform.
Q: Why do some embedded web links not display properly within videos?
A: Some websites block embedding due to security settings. Ensure links use HTTPS; otherwise, alternative resources or playlist/grouping features may be required.
Q: Do AI features use instructor data to train models?
A: No, instructor data is not used to train AI models. Refer to the platform’s AI policy for details.
Q: What does the “audio” feature refer to and include an example?
A: The “audio” feature refers to adding sound elements within the multi-track editor, such as narration or other audio layers.
For example, the presenter explains that you can record your own voice and place it on the timeline as a separate audio track, allowing you to add narration over a video.
Q: Is the video editor a new feature, and how long has it been available?
A: The video editor is not a new feature. It has been available for some time as part of the platform’s existing tools, though some users may not have used it yet.
Q: How are uploaded videos stored and accessed?
A: Uploaded videos are stored in the cloud within the platform’s media library and are associated with the user’s account. This allows users to access their videos from any supported device and incorporate them into projects using the video editor.
Content remains available for reuse within the media library, enabling users to organize, manage, and add videos to the editor timeline as needed.
Q: How does internet speed affect performance when editing cloud-based video content?
A: Performance may vary when editing cloud-based video content, but it generally performs well for a web-based editor. Internet speed can affect responsiveness and playback, so performance may vary depending on connection quality. Testing within your own environment is recommended.
Q: If teaching at multiple institutions, can content be reused across systems?
A: Content can be reused if it is accessible within your account or can be downloaded and uploaded into another system. Media stored in your library can be used across your projects; however, reuse across institutions depends on your access and your ability to transfer content between environments.
Q: How much storage is available, and how can usage be monitored?
A: Storage availability depends on the user’s account or institutional allocation. The presenter, Stephanie Gates, indicates that users can monitor their storage usage, allowing them to review how much space they are using and manage their content accordingly.
Q: Where should users log in after transitioning from a previous platform (e.g., PlayPosit)?
A: It is recommended to access through your LMS. Direct login may also be available via the platform’s sign-in page with existing credentials.
Q: What should be done if a tool does not appear in Canvas?
A: Contact your institution’s Canvas administrator to verify installation and access.
