Lecture Capture/Camtasia Relay
Capturing course lectures (with full video or just your computer screen and audio) can be a great resource for increasing student engagement in a flexible format useful both on and off campus. Pre-recorded lectures can also maximize classroom learning time by introducing new content before students meet with you face-to-face, freeing up class time for active learning, teacher guidance, and meaningful discussion. To make the most of recorded lectures consider the following:
- Couple recorded lectures with online quizzes. Responses can indicate areas of content mastery and/or confusion. Even low-stakes quizzes can motivate students to view lectures prior to class or online discussions.
- List lecture recordings by topic and tie them to study packs or other content to help students prepare for quizzes, midterms, or exams.
- Divide lectures into short segments (3-12 minutes) based on topic. This can be done in class during recording or after an entire lecture is captured.
- Utilize lecture capture to respond to frequently asked questions, explicitly (re)state learning outcomes, or trigger student curiosity outside of class.
- Be specific in your syllabus and in class about how you expect the use of recorded lectures to influence class attendance and/or participation policies.
- Review recorded lectures as a way to reflect on your pacing, discussion management, in-class activities, or other teaching practices.
