Each year during our August Program, we video record a number of sessions and make them available through BGSU's DVSS video
reserve system. These videos can be viewed either from the library media reserve room, from any computer on campus (computer
labs), or from a home computer if you have a high speed or broadband (DSL) connection.
Conducting a Video Search:
After logging into MyBGSU select the Video Search link from the menu on the left side of the screen.
Enter keywords describing the video you would like to watch or type in graduate student enhancement program in the Keyword search box. Use all lower case letters and, if applicable, use the wild card character (*) to search for strings
of characters. Please review the Search Tips link for specific examples and additional searching assistance.
Click on the SEARCH button. After a few seconds, a list of media matching your search criteria will be displayed.
To View a Video:
Once the list of videos comes up, you should see under each video two play options. If the PLAY VIDEO link is available for
the desired program, simply click the PLAY VIDEO option. A new window will open on your computer screen and the video, along
with some additional descriptive content, will appear.
If PLAY VIDEO is not available for the desired title, you should follow the SCHEDULE VIDEO steps to view the video on your
desktop. On the next screen, select "PC Desktop-on-Campus" from the building pull-down lists and enter your name and phone
number in the appropriate boxes. Click on the GO button. The next screen allows you to confirm your programming choice. You
must either select the PLAY VIDEO or SCHEDULE VIDEO option on the bottom of the screen.
Play Video option:
If PLAY VIDEO is available and you want to watch immediately, select that option. You will be presented with three viewing
options:
1. If you want to control (stop, fast forward, review) the program, you can enter an end time, or what time you will finish
using the program. Also, be sure to select the appropriate a.m. or p.m. option.
2. If you simply want to watch the program from start to finish, select the second option and watch the entire video uninterrupted.
3. If you only want to scan the first few minutes to get a feel for the program, enter the amount of time you want to view
the program in the appropriate location under the third option.
After making your selection, click the Submit button. A confirmation screen and a small video window will open on your screen
and your video will begin playing in a few minutes. Please be patient. In most cases, a videotape will have to be loaded and
cued which may take a couple of minutes.
Schedule Video option:
If only the SCHEDULE VIDEO option is available on the media confirmation screen, you will not be able to control your program.
It will play automatically at the scheduled time.
After selecting SCHEDULE VIDEO enter the date and time you wish to view the program and click the Submit button. A confirmation
screen will appear letting you know your request has been processed successfully. To view a video that has been scheduled
for a later time on your desktop PC, return to the DVSS search page (My Video Search from the http://my.bgsu.edu search page)
a few minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Select the PC Stream Guide link located on the orange navigational bar on
the left side of the search screen. A schedule, which refreshes automatically, will be displayed on your screen. Scheduled
videos appear on the list about 15 seconds prior to the scheduled start time. When you see the desired video appear in the
list, select the WATCH button to the right of the requested video. A new window will open and your video will begin playing
at the requested start time.
* If you experience problems with viewing the videos from a computer, please go to the help page: http://dvserver02.bgsu.edu/support/videohelp.html.
Also, please alert the GradSTEP Coordinator of Ongoing Programs to any problems you experience.
Filling Out Your Attendance Verification Form After Viewing a Video:
In order to receive credit for any session you attend, you must fill out an Attendance Verification (AV) Form. You are NOT required to have a signature for a videotape session. However, please be sure to give the full name of
the video and a thorough summary on the AV form in order to demonstrate that you have viewed it. You must complete the evaluation
portion of the form in order to receive credit.
