In response to the growing student demand for flexible and interactive learning options (such as livestream instruction), UVU has provided a technical solution for faculty: Digital Teaching Studios (DTS). These newly designed, custom-built studios are specifically tailored to improve the quality of livestream instruction for faculty and students.
Digital Teaching Studios provide the latest technology, including presentation equipment and a large digital whiteboard to improve the livestream experience for faculty and students.
UVU support teams are ready to assist during livestream sessions with technology support to ensure a seamless experience.
Digital Teaching Studios allow faculty multiple ways to interact with students from class discussions to traditional lectures in a livestream environment.
To schedule a Digital Teaching Studio for an academic class, please contact your Department Chair (or authorized scheduler) for assistance. They will submit a request to the Academic Scheduling Office, and once approved, the livestreaming time will be confirmed in 25Live for faculty use (but will not be visible to students in Banner).
The Livestream Teaching Academy (LTA) Certification is the official preparation program for instructors wishing to teach livestream courses at UVU (no previous experience required). This program is designed to give educators an opportunity to develop skills, reflect on past practice, and meaningfully plan for future practice. This certification is designed to advance the newer livestream pedagogy, emphasizing ways to develop instructor presence, peer-to-peer interaction, and how to create meaningful and valuable livestream sessions.
Schedule a session with an Instructional Technology Consultant from the Office of Teaching and Learning. During this appointment, the consultant will demonstrate the features and functionalities of the Digital Teaching Studios and answer any questions.
Support teams are ready to assist with technical difficulties or other questions to ensure a successful livestream session.
To help improve Digital Teaching Studios and the livestreaming experience, please provide feedback by contacting Audio/Visual Services & Engineering or the Office of Teaching and Learning.
