example lecture with "Prof Moments" (video & handout); text in [uwace.uwaterloo.ca UW ACE], some readings available:
edited videos himself using Camtasia Studio, tablet computer, speak to slides, record with minimal editing, exported to "swf" (flash video)
notes are taken on "handout pdf" of powerpoint
Skidmore: feels the repetition of listening, watching and notetaking increases learning; in "contact" with the information
difficult to multi-task (rollerblade and note-take)
assignments- virtual field trip; off into web sites - achieve tasks - they are getting a good introduction
provides structure for students
9 units, 40 "prof moments"

How much time does this take?
- has 6 TAs to assist
- each semester takes a bit of time to get it ready
- took a lot of time to get permissions
Have you considered teaching this blended, hybrid mix of face to face and then showing the prof moments
- yes, perhaps. Has not taught the course face to face for a while. Is keen on letting students taking control of their learning
What was different between face to face that DE didn't get?
- showed similar but different examples
- posed questions, in class group work (some students resist group work)
- attendance drops off in all large lecture classes near the end of the term
- not much value-added to meet face to face?
- perhaps expand or elaborate; still searching
Did face to face to students do better than DE?
- No, they did the same
- difficult to control
Where do you see your self on the "techno-saaviness" scale?
- Not a real adventurer, but perhaps better than the "average". Tend to stick with what's there; easily available; using UW ACE; able to assist peers
Had you seen "prof moment" content that inspired you?
- Les from UW gave an example of Breeze, introduced James to the idea
- download Word, markup with Word with a tablet, resubmit back as a PDF
Little effort vs. Time consuming?
