Self-service facilities

There are a number of self-service facilities available on campus (North Terrace) to assist University of Adelaide staff to film and edit their own learning video content. 

Our recording studios utilise the same audio and touch panel technology that you will find in any common teaching area across the university campuses.

  • Barr Smith Library Recording Studio (TEMPORARILY CLOSED until August 2024)

    The Barr Smith Library (BSL) recording studio is a self-service video recording facility and is located in the Barr Smith Library on Level 2.

    At the Barr Smith Library recording studio, you can:

    • record a “talking head” style learning video on green screen or flat colour
    • appear in front of your pre-prepared slide presentation using the green screen live key functionality, and
    • host a panel discussion or interview

    The studio has an inbuilt PC that can be used for controlling your presentation, or you can bring your own device which you can connect through an HDMI input. 

    Remember, all you need to get started is a blank USB 2.0 stick (8G - 32G) to record your video content to – 1GB = 20minutes. Bring water to keep hydrated and your pre-prepared and rehearsed learning content!
