The following are some materials gathered for Col. Jacob Graham’s (ret. USMC) INTAF 897 course. These 3 particular subjects were mentioned in Malcom Gladwell’s “Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know.”

Accessibility
None of the images or videos have been QA’d for accessibility at this time. Updates will be posted here. Given that this Sway is only a draft, accommodations like transcripts will be developed on an “as needed” basis.
Sway
Sway has some nice media features and makes adding images and video relatively easy, although there are some limitations.
- To add media, click on the “+” > “Media” tab > choose the form of media.
- It doesn’t seem possible to preview the media within Sway, so I previewed videos in YouTube.
- For the videos I wanted to use, I copied-pasted the URL in Sway’s Media Search field to display the exact video I was looking for.
- Sway doesn’t natively display the titles of the YouTube videos, so I copied-pasted them in as captions so that the audience has some sense of what they can view.
I also discovered by accident that you can group Sway elements by clicking-dragging the elements over one another. There are grouping options available as well. This might be a good strategy to keep related content closely associated for pedagogical reasons.
Kaltura
- Created a Channel in Kaltura
- Created a Playlist in Kaltura
- “Add New” > “YouTube Video”
- Copied-pasted link to video
- Returned to new Kaltura Channel > clicked on checkbox next to video > “Publish”
This process takes too long. I don’t want to have to do multiple steps for every video.
