IBT Introduction, part 7:
Classroom biography (video) - optional
Instructions
Use the steps and questions below [in conjunction with the power point slide template - see
Vula IBT_2018 Resources -> Introduction week] to create a short video biography on the
members of your IBT classroom (participants and staff).
We suggest that this video take a similar format to the ‘meet the IBT core team’ video which
can be located on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMYQE_GYsOKY6j8z9N6Adw?view_as=subscriber (please make sure to subscribe to the channel for easy access
to all lecture recordings).s
However, as there are many participants in each classroom and we would like to keep the
video short (3 minutes), please elect a few participants to speak on the classroom’s behalf
Important: participants should be encouraged to speak. We encourage you to give everyone
the opportunity to be seen and to wave to the camera at the beginning or end of the video;
for example, by enlarging the webcam (see recording guidelines below for more details).
Once complete, the head TA of the classroom should inform the course convenors (Verena
Ras and Paballo Chauke). The course convenors will then add your video to the IBT_2018
Youtube vhannel
Steps:
1. Open the power point template for the IBT_2018 classroom biography, which can be
found in IBT_2018 Vula site -> Resources -> Introduction week
2. Add your classroom specific information as prompted by the template (e.g. add your
classroom’s name, add your institution’s logo in the top right hand corner of each
slide etc. ).
3. Prepare answers to the questions below.
4. Select volunteers to answer the questions during the recording.
5. Record as per guidelines below.
To create the recording:
1. We suggest using the screencast tool, screencast-o-matic: https://screencast-omatic.com/
2. Screencast-o-matic is a great online tool to record your screen and webcam. Once you
hit ‘record’, whatever you do on your screen (switching windows/ applications etc.)
will be recorded. Your voice will also be recorded as long as you have enabled your
microphone. It has good support and lots of tutorials to assist you with using the
program. An alternative program for Linux machines is Vokoscreen
3. To activate the recorded with screencast-o-matic:

navigate to https://screencast-o-matic.com/
click on the ‘start recording’ button
click on ‘launch recorder button’ and ‘allow’ if prompted
repeat the above instructions each time that you would like to create a recording.

Please note:
• Some free recording tools, such as screencast-o-matic, only allow short videos of 15
minutes each. However, this should not be a problem as the ‘meet the classroom’
videos should not be longer than 3 minutes anyway!
• The free version of screencast-o-matic does not allow editing of the videos so you will
need to redo the recording if there is a mistake.
• When recording, please do so with webcam activated. Move the webcam (by clicking
on it and dragging) so that it is placed within the ‘photo frame’ on the template slides:

•

Perhaps at the end of the recording you can make the webcam larger so that
everyone in your classroom can wave hello. To enlarge your webcam from within the
screencast-o-matic application, click on the full screen webcam icon (indicated by
‘red’ square on the screenshot above). Once the webcam has been enlarged, the
screen should look like this:

Additional important notes:
Record your videos in a quiet room - background noise can be distracting.
Ensure that you sit in front of a blank wall/ no clutter in the background - this can be
distracting to the eye and make it difficult to concentrate on what you are saying.
Ensure that you speak clearly and slowly.
Save your videos as mp4 files.
VERY IMPROTANT: We advise that you do a test video to check the audio levels, that
there is no background noise, and check the image quality
the creative commons logo on the template slides indicates that others are free to
use this idea of a ‘meet the classroom’ presentation, as well as the content in the
presentation, as long as they attribute it to H3ABioNet, the IBT course, and the
implicated classroom.
