Using Tegrity WebLearner!  

What is TEGRITY Web Learner? 

It's a self-contained streaming media production cart that facilitates the creation of online streaming media lectures, presentations, and demonstrations via Windows Media. These productions can include audio, screen captures of anything that happens on your computer screen, (any software that can be installed on the Tegrity computer)  screen captures of whiteboard notes, or processed "captured" with the document camera.

How do my students access a Tegrity WebLearner Session?
Once created, the session is uploaded to a streaming media server located on our campus.  Instructional Technology staff can upload your sessions to the server or you can create your own user profile to upload your sessions. 
Each session will have it's own unique url which you can link to a web page, to a course management system, or any document that creates hyperlinks (PowerPoint, Word documents, Adobe pdf files, etc) .
