Dear teachers, I'm Jitka Daňková from Information System.
Are you now at home with your children like I am?
Because of the rector's vacation and the cancellation of contact teaching, you are now unable to meet with your students.
However the schooling is still happening and students need you, your lectures and explanation.
So what can you do about it? Let's take a look at how easily and quickly you can make your lectures accessible from home.
You will need either smart phone, tablet or laptop.
We will start with the laptop.
Most of you use PowerPoint presentations,
so as you open them up,
choose the tab "Slide Show" and choose the option "Record Slide Show"
A black window with your presentation appears and in the bottom right corner you can see yourself.
You can start recording.
Talk about each slide,
highlight what is needed
and be careful, because you will not be able to reach previous slides.
Go step by step and tell students what is important.
In the end save the presentation as mp4 video.
Locate the video on your laptop and upload it to the Information System into the "Study materials" of your course.
You can easily just drag the file into the window.
Copy its address, return to the "Teacher's Notebook" and send the address to your students through the mail.
Now to the smart phone,
you will use it the most if you are using a board during your lectures,
for example if you are writing down a formula or solving an exercise.
Use it as a camera and record solving the problem on the paper with your commentary.
For short exercises you can hold it yourself, or you can ask someone from your home.
You can also improvise and build your own way to hold your device, using things at home like chairs, books or boxes.
These are two basic examples how you can make your lectures accessible from home,
and if you have MacBook, desktop computer or you need to make accessible something more complicated,
visit is.muni.cz/selfstudy where you will find detailed instructions for more complex situations
as well as contacts on the technicians that will gladly assist you.
