The offices of Educational Outreach, Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS), and Information Technology Services are collaborating to bring you a new audio/video hosting platform called TechSmith Relay.  

TechSmith Relay will serve as the primary platform for storing media content across campus, giving faculty, students and staff the ability to create, upload and share videos from one location.

In addition to its storing and sharing capabilities, TechSmith Relay allows users to do basic video editing, integrate quizzing and other video interactivity, and bring in external videos for enhancements. TechSmith Relay also has the capability to add automatic closed captioning, helping to meet University accessibility goals and achieve ADA compliance.  

 One of the greatest features for faculty and staff includes integration with Blackboard that also includes quizzing within the video content, which can optionally report back to the grade center. This interactive quizzing will ideally help increase student engagement within flipped, blended or online courses. Analytics allow users to see how much time is spent on the videos, as well as the quiz results.

TechSmith Relay also has a simple video creation tool within the platform, or within the Fuse mobile app. Users can still choose to use Zoom as their primary choice for making videos, as most video formats and videos from YouTube can be uploaded into TechSmith Relay.

Access Relay at siue.techsmithrelay.com. You will find log in instructions and additional articles in the ITS Knowledge Base (keyword: Relay). When working with videos, be sure to follow this workflow for best results. 

Faculty and staff can sign up for an one-hour training session today. After attending training, register for a two-hour working session to move your videos to Relay. Members of the ITS – Instructional Design and Learning Technologies team will be on hand to assist.

The Office of Equal Opportunity, Access and Title IX Coordination, Rep. Katie Stewart and Sen. Rachelle Crowe will present a community conversation on sexual assasult and Title IX panel:

Tuesday, Sept. 17
Morris University Center, International Room

The U.S. Department of Education has proposed significant changes to the ways in which colleges would be required to respond to sexual violence on campus. Our state government is also taking an active role in developing strategies to ensure that campuses are safer, and that colleges provide resources and responses that address the problem of sexual violence.

The panel will include experts from the Illinois Attorney General's Office and Call for Help who will discuss sexual assault prevention and how proposed federal changes to Title IX would affect students on college campuses.
