UC Davis instructors, both faculty and graduate students, are invited to register now for the “Introduction to PlayPosit” webinar that takes place this Friday, November 6th, from 10:30am to 11:30am PST. The webinar kicks off UC Davis’ new campus-wide license with PlayPosit, as previously announced at SITT 2020. PlayPosit staff will host the webinar specially for UC Davis instructors, and they would like to share the following introductory information about PlayPosit with our campus teaching community:

  • What is PlayPosit?: Learn how to make your online, blended or flipped course active with PlayPosit--a platform that allows you to transform passive video and audio into interactive experiences. Draw from YouTube, Vimeo, or your own recordings to make your own video, then easily add elements into the recording to personalize instruction. Use it during class for an engaging synchronous experience, or outside of the course to flip or blend your content. Watch real-time data and analytics to see where students are confused and which topics need to be expounded upon. What's more: Inspire higher-order thinking by assigning learners to create interactive videos--they will learn the content as well as learn how to teach themselves.

In addition to the information provided above by PlayPosit, UC Davis also provides the following knowledge base articles that may be of interest to new campus PlayPosit users:

Please register now for this Friday's webinar so that you can learn more about PlayPosit, a service available at no cost to UC Davis instructors. UC Davis instructional designers will be on hand to schedule follow-up appointments for working further with PlayPosit. The webinar will be recorded, and the webinar recording will be shared with UC Davis instructors.
