Services
UZEM (Distance Learning Center) offers digital media production services, tool trainings and technical support to our faculty in developing online courses. UZEM also brings togather the faculty and Institutional Development and Quality Coordination Office staff, which offers pedagogical consultancy, learning assessment expertise.
Course design consultancy:
We encourage our instructors to connect with BİLGİ Development and Quality Coordination Office at any time during the course design stages so the consultants can help instructors to think through pedagogy and offer strategic tools that allow students to engage with course content, the instructor and each other to promote a satisfactory online learning experience.
Media Production:
At the beginning of the 2024-2025 Fall semester, the recording studios of the Information Distance Education Center were closed, and the equipment was transferred to the studios of the Faculty of Communication. Instructors who wish to record studio sessions for their courses can contact the Faculty of Communication for consultancy.
Alternative to Recording in the Studio
Before deciding to use the studio you should first consider whether you could record at home. You can create videos at home using Zoom or your phone, tablet and upload these recordings to your one drive for further share with your students. To do this all you will need is a webcam and mic plus a reasonable broadband connection to upload content.
Content Authoring Tools:
There is already a basic level of functionality (H5P) built into BİLGİ Learn (Moodle) which is suitable for to generate rich engaging content. More advanced rich media authoring tools (Camtasia studio, ADOBE Captivate, Articulate Storyline etc )often require significant expertise and UZEM also can help instructors to create content with these tools.
Self Service
