The University of Bath
![](/uploads/allimg/200402/2-20040221162Y55.png)
The University of Bath has several systems that enable staff to teach online if staff and students cannot attend campus. The four main systems are: Moodle, Microsoft Teams Meetings, Adobe Connect and Re:View (Panopto).
1. Moodle
Moodle is a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) used for both synchronous (live) and asynchronous activity such as discussion forums, learning activities (e.g. quizzes), learning materials, lecture notes and presentations, and pre-recorded audio and video.
2. Re-use last year's lecture recordings
If you recorded your lectures last year you can share those with this year's cohorts.
Students can be reminded to use these resources in a number of active ways, not just passive viewing.
3. Record at your desktop and make available to cohorts
You can record new material by downloading the Re:View (Panopto) desktop recorder software. You will need a headset (and mic) to record. A webcam is optional. Recordings are uploaded to the Re:View (Panopto) website for your students to access via URL.
You could also record narration directly in PowerPoint and save the presentation as a video, uploading to a folder in Re:View for your students to access. Do not upload video files directly to Moodle - this will slow your course down and make it difficult (or impossible) to backup.
4. Run a live meeting / webinar
You can use Adobe Connect. This is a web conferencing tool that provides a virtual meeting space.
You can use Microsoft Teams Meeting. This is primarily an online meeting tool, like Skype.

Using IT services for distance teaching
There are a range of IT services available to help support teaching at a distance - this includes using Microsoft Teams to run live events and the preparation of online teaching resources using various methods, such as voice recorded over your PowerPoint slides, screen recordings and other videos.
1.For pre-recorded events (slides, screen recordings, video and audio)
Microsoft PowerPoint allows you to record an audio voice-over on PowerPoint slides using the Narration feature. The audio is saved as part of the PowerPoint file. You can also save the presentation as a video if needed.
While Panopto is often used for capturing and the playback of lectures, it can also be used as a recorder to capture your screen, as well as slides, voiceover and webcam video. The created video can be easily published to Moodle, and auto captions can be generated. You can learn more about accessing and using Panopto below.
eStream allows you to record your screen, webcam video and voice. eStream can be used to store and host videos created videos, or the created video can be published directly to Moodle. There is no auto captioning function, but you can manually upload captions to a video.
2. For live events (webinars, group and 1-1 tutorials and class discussion)
Microsoft Teams is the recommended tool for any live events, for example webinars, for carrying out group tutorials or to allow online video or voice conferencing for class discussions. See the instructions below for information on how best to use Microsoft Teams for live events.

Online classes and seminars/meetings
An alternative to live lectures and meetings is Zoom which is a secure, easy platform for video and audio conferencing, messaging, and webinars across mobile and desktop/laptop.
Pre-recorded lectures
Pre-recorded lectures are an alternative to live lectures. Record a video as a way of delivering teaching to students. You can record videos with Zoom, It is also possible to record videos with other tools such as Echo 360, Camtasia and Stream (available via Office 365).
Moodle -Teaching & Assessment support
Use Moodle for online assessment
Use Moodle and Turnitin to submit and mark assignments online
Use Moodle to communicate with (large groups of) students

Delivering teaching remotely
1. I need to deliver a lecture through Learn
By default, all your lectures from last year will have been copied over to this year’s module block on ReVIEW. You can edit or delete recordings where necessary. The Panopto Personal Capture software that is connected to ReVIEW, allows you to record your screen, microphone and webcam.
2. Can I continue to record my scheduled timetabled lecture?
If you feel it is necessary to live stream a lecture, live streaming can be turned on within the Personal Capture software.
3. I need to interact with my students
Use Adobe Connect. This allows students to join a virtual meeting room where you can interact with them via chat, audio, shared screens and interactive whiteboards. Students do not require any additional hardware or software to interact with Adobe Connect.
4. How can I connect with an individual student?
Adobe Connect can also be used for individual tutorials. The Adobe Connect guidance linked previously details how to set up a 1-2-1 meeting with a student.
More traditional methods like email or the chat functions in Learn can also be used. You could also use other tools such as Skype or even the phone!
5. How do I enable my students to interact with each other in groups?
There are several activity types within Learn that can be used for collaborative groupwork.
You can use Adobe Connect to give students additional permissions to review a document as a group and facilitate a group discussion. It is also possible for students to share and edit documents in a collaborative way using OneDrive.
6. How do I make myself available for students to ask questions?
We would recommend using Adobe Connect.
7. I need to deal with assessment
Giving feedback using Turnitin
Giving feedback using the Learn Assignment
