ilos - Video Content Management

Ilos Videos Logo

ilos is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to record video presentations, manage existing video files, and stream video content to any device. The software can be used in classrooms that are equipped with recording equipment or it can be installed on any PC or laptop. With ilos, you can record your screen and audio, as well as video from your webcam. All recordings are automatically uploaded to the ilos server and can be integrated within Canvas or Blackboard.  Once inside of ilos, videos can be edited, closed captioned and even tracked to see who is watching them, and what parts of the video are being watched.

Uses:

  • Record lectures - Using your own computer or campus classroom technology to record a lecture using Powerpoint or anything you want to display on your computer screen
  • Flip your classroom - Runs on PCs and Macs, making it easy to record flipped classroom videos that can be shared with students. 
  • Student projects - Students can use ilos to create presentations and easily submit them to instructors.
  • One click closed captioning - Make your videos more accessible with the ability to close caption them for free within ilos.

Benefits:

  • Versatile: Captures anything on your computer screen (from PowerPoint slides to complex animations), document cameras, and video from any camera.
  • Integrated: Integrates with our learning management system, Canvas. All recordings can easily be shared as course materials, and students can access recordings using their university login ID and password from any device.
  • Manageable: Tracking and analytics keep you in the loop to see who has watched your videos and how much of the content.
