The MyMediasite Portal is a comprehensive video platform managed by the office of Instructional Media Services.
To access the portal, visit http://mymediasite.bloomu.edu.
Please direct any questions regarding use of this system to mediasite@bloomu.edu.
Do you want to provide video content for your students to watch outside of the classroom or in courses offered via distance? Does your class include video based assignments that your students need to submit for faculty and/or peer review? If so, please consider using Mediasite as your streaming video platform. In a few steps you can upload your videos to Mediasite, embed them in your BOLT course, or share via email.
The "MyMediasite" Portal is accessible under the "Resources" tab within each BOLT course.
The "Mediasite Module" is also accessible under the "Resources" tab within each BOLT course.
Users can also add Mediasite Assets anywhere the rich text editor is available by clicking the Insert Stuff icon.
For more information on these functions, please refer to the IMDC Infobase.
MyMediasite includes a desktop recorder application. MDR offers a simple workflow for recording narrated presentations and other computer based demonstrations including a 'talking head' video window similar to Camtasia, Captivate, Jing, etc. with no time limit, additional licensing fees, or third party outsourcing.
To get started, Download the Desktop Recorder.
Please note, if you are on a university owned Windows 10 computer, you must install through Software Center.
Please note, MacOS 10.13-10.14 required. Due to core changes in MacOS 10.15 Catalina, the current version of Mediasite Desktop Recorder will not support MacOS 10.15 Catalina. A new application with Catalina support is currently in development but is not yet available.
In many cases, the 'talking head' element offered by the Desktop Recorder application is not necessary and all components of the lecture are contained within a PowerPoint Presentation. In this scenario, the Record Narration function of PowerPoint is often a more efficient method to produce an online lecture.
MyMediasite also includes a web based video editing application. The Mediasite Editor provides basic editing functions for trimming unwanted segments of a presentation and adjusting slide content. To access the web editor, open the Presentation Details page of any presentation and click the "Edit Video" button to the right of the preview window.
Permanent recording systems are integrated in the following rooms on campus:
These recording systems capture video of the presenters via permanent cameras as well as high resolution images of any content from the room PC or mobile devices.
To request configuration of an automated lecture capture recording schedule, manual lecture capture recording bin, or drop box for student projects, please complete the online request form.
The Instructional Media Services Office also maintains a mobile recording system that can be used in virtually any presentation space on campus. This system includes a High Definition Camera, wireless microphones, and connections to integrate with any classroom presentation system. This system must be operated by staff from the Media Services office. For more information regarding event recording services, please see the Video Recording Services page.
