Video in the Classsroom

With the advent of much smaller and simpler video and audio recorders capturing course content has become much easier and accessible. Here at the CRDC we have 2 Pocket Cameras available to Faculty who would like to use video in their class. Some faculty have used these to capture guest lectures so that students can access the content at a later date. Some have recorded introductions to course topics and sections so students can have a summary of information to be covered in upcoming classes. Where self evaluation is important student presentations can be captured and released to individual students. Whatever their purpose the videos can be uploaded to our video server and embedded into the U of L Learning Management System for easy access to students.

If you would like more info on how you can use video in your class please contact the CRDC.

Online Course Design Webinar

Virtual Challenge: Creating Quality E-Courses

Tuesday, January 25, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm at the CRDC(L1126)

There’s a lot more to building online courses than digitizing text and adding a few videos. Online course designers are learning more about how to incorporate quick assessments that personalize the learning experience for students, how to keep students’ interest with video and simulations, and how to integrate gaming into their courses. The lessons being learned by course designers are significantly changing the way a successful online course is created for today’s students.

Presenters:

Greg Marks, Director of Product Development, Michigan Virtual University

Debi Crabtree, Coordinator of the Hamilton County Virtual Schools, Chattanooga, Tenn.

Moderator:

Michelle Davis, Senior Writer, Education Week Digital Directions
