COIP designers create memorable courses through cohesive, branded design packages. Courses are meticulously planned to deliver custom Canvas layouts, interactive PowerPoints, graphic themes, and engaging video lectures. The design team works collaboratively with faculty to create meaningful and effective content, while offering customized design choices specific to the needs of the course.
The Lightboard is part of the In-Studio Recording experience. Using the Lightboard provides instructors the ability to walk through complex problems or examples. Instructors may choose to use different colored markers to distinguish between variables or numbers so it is easier for students to follow along and take notes.
In-Studio Recording is very popular among instructors producing courses with COIP. COIP-designed PowerPoint slides, produced in close collaboration with faculty, display behind the instructor while they teach. Instructors can alternate on and off screen when delivering their lecture, ensuring content delivery remains the focus. A Surface Pro is available for instructors to interact with the PowerPoint slides by highlighting, drawing, or zooming in on content.
On-Location Recordings provide instructors with a unique opportunity to present students with course-related information from any desired location. Instructors may choose to go to an on-site location to show students how a facility operates or to demonstrate how to conduct a lab from home. Our on-location recording can take the classroom anywhere.
PlayPosit is an interactive video platform integrated within Canvas. Instructors can add one or more videos and insert graded quizzes and interactions that push to the gradebook. It helps create an engaging lecture experience for online students. PlayPosit supports multiple video hosts across our institution including Mediasite, YouTube, and Vimeo.
Articulate Presenter adds value to self-paced lecture presentations by creating fully-automated slideshows complete with animations, a slide navigation pane, quizzes, and even searchable notes. Learning games can also be added to support learning objectives - all in one interface!
Articulate Storyline allows faculty to gamify their course through branching and interactive assignments that can be linked to the Canvas gradebook. Students find themselves immersed in learning scenarios where they can discover critical information and receive immediate feedback for their actions or inactions. The platform also supports students at different levels of understanding.
Stylized PDFs are a great way to provide students with text-based lecture content. Instead of listening to a lecture, students can easily view an interactive PDF on any device and can print it out for a better reading comprehension.
Infographics allow learners to quickly scan and process more, and often complicated, information. Infographics can ease heavy cognitive loads, allowing students to retain information long after they’ve put down the document. The design of infographics can add a fun element to any presentation, and the condensed information allows students to easily reference course content on their own or with their peers.
