Criss Library – Have you heard? UNO has a new video content management system called ilos. This system integrates with Canvas and has many great features such as easily recording screencasts and video from your computer, tracking of who watches your video, and closed captioning of videos for free. Want to see what others are saying about ilos?

Take a look here: https://app.ilosvideos.com/view/UlSMs4APp5tv?autoplay=1&t=100.02.

We’ve put together three different training sessions to cover the important aspects of using ilos. It’s an easy product to use, but with so many great features we couldn’t tell you about them all in one session. Parts 1 and 2 we see as being essential for most users of ilos and should be attended in order.

Introduction to ilos: Part 1

Topics will include; Installing the ilos recorder, uploading and recording videos to ilos, basic permissions, managing/organizing recordings, embedding ilos videos in Canvas, and how to request closed captioning. The session is scheduled for 90 minutes and will include hands-on work within ilos. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops if they are likely to use them to create recordings.
