9:15-10:15AM- James Skidmore, UW: “Prof Moments: a video alternative to lecture-casts”
Before Prof-Moments
- taking notes from an oral Skidmore lecture- Nietzsche contra Wagner
- difficult to just take notes orally; podcasting audio may not be sufficient
- Learning Styles important
- created "Prof Moments"
- with the consultation from the LT3 centre
Example of Prof Moments
- example lecture with "Prof Moments" (video & handout); text in 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"
Results
- course evaluations indicate the students like humour, informality,
- vice into virtue
