What should I do if I wish to shoot the video content myself as screen recording?

A screen recording program is required to shoot the videos. You can use the programs that you have previously used that do not require a license fee or that you have a license for. Some unlicensed applications place their own logo or name on any corner of the screen. Such applications should never be used and no program names, logos, advertisements etc. should exist in the video content.

If you do not have any screen recording programs; it can be obtained from the Technical Services Office of the Information Technologies Department of the University. In addition, there are screen recording programs that can be used with open source code and are free of charge. For example: OBS Studio ( https://obsproject.com/en/download )

 

What are the points to be paid attention while producing video content (screen recording)?

To make sure the sound quality is clear, it is useful to use an external microphone instead of your computer's internal microphone. Headsets of mobile phones are suitable for this purpose.

We remind you that your desktop background image and desktop items may appear during screen recording, and we recommend that you take necessary precautions to protect your personal data privacy and make sure you take a trial shooting before you begin your lesson recording.

Instructors and course coordinators are responsible for all the distance education content prepared.

Therefore; it is important to watch and carefully check your footage before handing it over to the campus video recording center.

 

Which format and aspect ratio are required for video content?

The file format should be mp4, avi. The file name of the recorded video should be the course code and the week number. For example “mek303hafta7” (mek303week7) 

The aspect ratio should be 16: 9 if possible.
