Day 2

James Skidmore, UW: “Prof Moments: a video alternative to lecture-casts”

• 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 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

• assist with note-taking
• 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
• provides structure for students
