The Swivl is here.
What is the Swivl? Swivl is a camera dock with a twist. Instead of holding your camera still, the Swivl will follow you around the room, tracking you as you move around on stage or in front of an audience. This device follows the paired mic wherever it goes. It is compatible with Android and IOS devices.
So who is using it in COE? Students have begun to use it to record class sessions for edTPA and ISLES. OAA has been using it to interview faculty and students about Pirate Code innovations. Why use this instead of a video camera? It’s ease of set up and video download capabilities. The device can connect to any Android or IOS device that has the Swivl app. You place it in the dock, hook up the mic cable, sync the mic, turn on app and you are ready to go. The Swivl zeros in on the mic and follows it. You can use it for one speaker or pass the mic for a group. The quality of the recording ability lets you place it in the middle of a table to record a small group. If you want to know more or are interested in trying out the Swivl, feel free to contact OAA IT for more information.
