Uses and Benefits of Capture and Playback Technologies
1. Capture and record actual classroom sessions “Tivo for the Classroom” model. For review where it has been seen live. Reduces need to focus on note taking. "Aspiring stenographers tend to miss any opportunity for interaction." – Tim Groehling, UCLA
2. “Learning objects” - supplemental course material typically recorded for use before, during or after a class. Focus on difficult concepts. Impacts Office Hours.
3. Pre-Record Lectures- Assign- Then discuss in Class.

Centralized Web-based Scheduling
Lecture Capture Best Practices
Course Visuals Guidelines• Rule of 5 - use no more than five words across on a line and five
rows of text down - less is more.
• Create Chapter Introduction Slides- automatic indexing
• Text Size - use minimum 24 point font, so text can be read easily by audience.
• Pictures are worth a thousand words - use images, graphs, and charts to display ideas.
• Don't Read Slides - use slides to emphasize or highlight what you are saying.
• Use all computer resources- no need for screen shots- everything is automatically captured in motion
Lecture Capture Best Practices
Online Presentations and Recordings• “Walk in. Teach. Walk out.” Act naturally.
• Avoid wearing stripes or busy patterns
• Remember Your Online Audience!
Point to slides using mouse if possible
Repeat questions from students
Create chapter slides for easier thumbnail search
