<p>Dear All,<br>
<br>
Following guidance issued by the University on its "Learning &
teaching 2020/21 - Support & Guidance" website for staff:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.strath.ac.uk/coronavirus/staff/learningandteachingsupportandguidance/">https://www.strath.ac.uk/coronavirus/staff/learningandteachingsupportandguidance/</a><br>
<br>
and subsequent Teaching Committee and Departmental Committee
discussions, it was decided that the minimum requirement is to
have all lecture material pre-recorded with transcripts available.
This is pretty much the advice as discussed in previous emails to
staff (27 July and 29 June).<br>
<br>
The University guidance is that all lectures must be pre-recorded
with transcript (document of lecturer's words) and video captions
(subtitles on the recording/powerpoint). We are seeking
clarification on the circumstances in which subtitles are
necessary. Meanwhile, a transcript should be prepared as this can
help with improving delivery and may (possibly!) be used to
generate subtitles, if necessary. <br>
<br>
Please therefore ensure that your lecture material is pre-recorded
in short (~10/15 minute) videos with accompanying transcripts.<br>
<br>
A method to record the transcripts efficiently, along with a lot
of other very useful material, is given in the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://classes.myplace.strath.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=25066">Physics
Playground</a> on MyPlace. People may need to re-enrol using the
password “physicsisfun”.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Brian.<br>

<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>As you will be aware from previous emails, for the first few
weeks of Semester 1 we are expected to provide students with
online learning and thereafter blended learning (a mixture of
online and face-to-face). Some of this will be via recorded and
via voice-over-powerpoint or Zoom material. We are required to
provide transcripts and subtitles (captioning) of the recorded
material and guidance on this has been provided by the
University in the links below. <br>
</p>
<p>As a basline position, the minimum requirement is for
transcripts of all material. So, please make sure you read and
start trying this ASAP - it can be quite a time consuming
process. <br>
</p>
<p>If we find more efficient methods we will put it onto the
Physics Playground on MyPlace. If you develop, or know of more
efficient methods, please share!</p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p>Brian.<br>
