With the return of face to face teaching we are installing a one cable solution in large teaching spaces allowing you to live stream and record your lectures and seminars.
The process is very straightforward, you simply create a virtual classroom session as you have for the past year, then in the lecture space, plug the 'Owl' into your laptop or the podium PC and select that has your camera, microphone and speaker. That is all you need to do, you then manage the space as you would normally, remember you might have some online attendees too.
If the Owl is not working properly
Most of the time that the Owls are misbehaving, they simply need to be unplugged and plugged back in. Follow these steps:
If the above has not worked, check the default microphone and speaker settings for your device. How you do this depends on the device you are using.
If you still need help after this, please email learningservices@uos.ac.uk - someone is on rota from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.
You can also use this as an opportunity to request assistance with other useful HyFlex activities such as using Padlets, Slido and Kahoots or other Brightspace tools to engage those in the room as well as at home. You will however need to give 4 days notice minimum for us to be able to support these technologies.
