Tegrity: Lecture Capture in the Nursing Department


The Nursing department has been be piloting the use of Tegrity in both face-to-face and online classes with a grant funded by a Department of Labor. Garth Johnson will also be a part of the pilot. The Tegrity lecture capture software will be available to all of CR’s faculty for the Spring semester 2012.

Tegrity is lecture capture software which means it gathers audio, video, computer screens, and any attached periphrials (e.g. a document camera) and packages it into streaming video files. Tegrity is a web-based application that does not require any software installations on campus computers and is cross-platform. It can be integrated with Sakai and other online tools. Tegrity files can be captioned by the instructor using the Tegrity editor or captions can be added afterwards via the Distance Education Captioning and Transcription grant. Tegrity’s lecture capture interface can be read by the JAWS screen reader and all text in all of the files (including pictures) is searchable.

 The Tegrity showcase website has some very interesting examples of how Tegrity is being used on other campuses. We will keep you informed with how the pilot rolls out here at College of the Redwoods.
