Ensemble Video

Ensemble is offered by New Paltz’s IMS Center for screen capturing purposes during lectures. The program allows for your screen movements to be recorded with audio and imported video from a webcam. When the user is done with the screen capture, it can be automatically uploaded onto their Ensemble Video Library to be published in other spaces, including right onto Blackboard. The program is useful for instructors as they can engage students and make their lectures available for review at anytime from any device. Live streaming options are available, and Ensemble also offers a mobile app to make these lectures more accessible. Closed captioning features make video content management and publishing quick and simple. Ensemble makes sharing learning materials easy through the Open SUNY program, where online SUNY courses from all SUNY campuses collaborate and are accessible to students or applicants through the video streaming infrastructure. The Ensemble program creates a platform where SUNY New Paltz can share information with other schools, reducing duplicating efforts, provide educational resources to students faster and on various devices, and make learning more engaging with access to the material even after it has been presented.
