The One Button Studio at Colby allows for easy recording of yourself, a laptop, or both simultaneously.  The room has all the lights, cameras, microphones and other recording tools needed.  All you have to do is bring a thumb drive. Possible uses include:

  • Flipping a classroom
  • Recording a lecture in advance
  • Practicing a presentation
  • Capturing a computer screen with narration
  • Recording an interview with a guest speaker

The One Button Studio is available to all members of the Colby community.  There are two studios: The first is located in Miller 205 – the experimental classroom.  There is no need to reserve this room, as it is available on a walk-in basis.  The second studio is in Lovejoy 406 – the Instructional Media Center – and must be reserved.  See the video below for a brief tour of the room, and scroll further down for common questions.
