Tegrity Campus Winter Update 2012

The vendor of Tegrity (our lecture capture system) will be updating our system Monday, December 17,  between the hours of 2:00am and 6:00am ET, and will result in approximately 20 minutes of service interruption.  This date was selected based on our academic calendar and reflects a date between academic terms. 

The update will add a number of new features and capabilities to our Tegrity system:  

Students

  • Easily Add Bookmarks on Playback Page: Ability to quickly add bookmarks to a recording during playback without having to be on the Notes page. Bookmarks added in this fashion will be added to the end of the Notes page.

    • Ability to resume playback from where playback stopped.
    • New button to go back 30 seconds during playback.
    • Ability to use the Next and Back buttons to go to the next and previous chapter.
    • Slides and audio (instead of M4B files) will be played when video podcasts are not available to improve playback speed and robustness.
  • Change Playback Speed on Downloaded Recording on Mac: Downloaded recordings can now be played back slower (70%) or faster (125%, 150%, 200%) than normal speed on a Mac. (Note: This feature is still not possible when streaming a recording to a Mac.)
  • Support Windows 8: Official support for recording playback on Windows 8 operating system (using either IE 10, Firefox, or Chrome browsers).

  • New Direct Class Link Default Setting: A new course setting will allow the instructor to change the default type of direct class link (i.e., anonymous/public or non-anonymous/authenticated). This setting will impact the course 'Get Class Link' and 'Get Live Webcast Link' actions. (This setting will also be available for Admins).
