Faculty Testimonial:
"I developed my online ERTH 101N lecture and ERTH 103N lab courses with tremendous support of the UMOnline team. In particular, the utilization of the video services provided by LeRoy Menahan. First it has to be said that I was uncomfortable with the idea of being filmed, but LeRoy made me feel comfortable enough to capture natural (non-awkward) takes of me introducing each lab activity. LeRoy then edited the videos, inserting stills or videos of the pieces of equipment and other materials necessary for the labs, as well as subtitles that were compiled into efficient and professional stand alone short videos that we could embed on the LMS. Working with LeRoy was so enjoyable and resulted in such excellent products that I reached out to have him help me integrate other video materials into my course like interviews with geoscientists (both UM alums and not) to share about what they are doing in their careers. LeRoy is also the audio genius that brought all my geoscience finger doodle animations to life with sound effects, music, and voices."
