OA21: Breakout (5) Zoom, Online Teaching, and Opencast: Gluing It All Together
Channel: Apereo Foundation
Date: 30/06/2021

Presented by Greg Logan

ETH Zurich moved all of their classes to Zoom in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For an institution who values long-term archival of their lectures, this presented an issue: Their archive solution of choice is Opencast, and Zoom does not offer any native integration. In this session we will explore what it took to get this integration built, as well as how quickly and easily Opencast administrator feedback could be incorporated into the software. Along the way we will see how this can be deployed at your institution, and how this could be extended to other video-conferencing solutions.

Expect to come away from this talk with a better understanding how:
* Open Source can empower your institution to take control of its own data
* How Opencast and Open Source can save your institution a ton of costs
* How Opencast can make your classroom, or in this case Zoom, recordings much more accessible for students
