What's Tegrity?
Tegrity is recording software that can capture audio, video and computer screen activity, then wrap it up in a single "Tegrity session" which is automatically uploaded and linked to your Blackboard course for your students to watch.
"I cannot tell you how much I enjoy you as a teacher and thoroughly enjoy your class! I really appreciate your tegrity videos that you tape during class time! I have never had a professor do that, and now I wish all of them would!"
-student quote from Spring 2012 SOC140
