Stanford's video processing in the cloud allows interactive streaming of online lectures - 3 views

  • Stanford researchers have publicly released the program code for software they first created to convert static videos of class lectures into interactive online video streams.
  • The Stanford Center for Professional Development currently offers 50 to 60 recorded courses each quarter. That puts the high-tech videotaping rooms in great demand. "Scheduling is a big challenge," said Joyce Rice, the center's director of marketing. ClassX provides an alternative recording method when the center can't cover a course, Pang said. With basic video equipment and storage space on a computer server, any classroom can become a place for online instruction.

    thought the group might find this amusing. not sure about connect & kaltura, but the last bullet point re: easy capture for desktop and classroom seems interesting...

    condensed annotated bibliography from NC State that I mentioned at today's meeting. I have the longer report from the author in PDF format and can share it via email if people are interested.

Successful Strategic Planning for Your Lecture Capture Initiative | EDUCAUSE - 3 views

  •  
    the PDF can be downloaded here; this might be a good model to follow for the LD/staff resources that we create, it's easily digestible. my only issue is that it poses lots of questions, so I'd want a bit more by way of info.

The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture « User Generated Education - 1 views

  • A major roadblock or barrier to the implementation of this model is that many educators do not know what to do within the classroom, what to do with that “whatever they want to do” time.  For educators, who are used to and use the didactic model, a framework is needed to assist them with the implementation of the Flipped Classroom.  In other words, the message to teachers to do what they want during classroom is not enough to make this transition.
  • The Flipped Classroom offers a great use of technology - especially if it gets lecture out of the classrooms and into the hands and control of the learners.  As it is being discussed, it is part of a larger picture of teaching and learning.  The Flipped Classroom videos have a place in the models and cycles of learning proposed by educational psychologists and  instructional designers.  Providing educators with a full framework of how the Flipped Classroom can be used in their educational settings will increase its validity for educators and their administrators.

    more on classroom flip. reiterates what we discussed at the first meeting: offering streaming lectures is only half the job; the other is using the newly freed time in an instructionally effective manner.
  •  
    totally agree on the active classroom approaches & the systematic barriers to doing these kinds of things. these approaches have been around for a while; you're right that what's new might be the ease of recording video for students to view. as for P&T, it's a real issue. flipping the class will take more time and might not be rewarded. in a college like mine, with almost no contingent faculty, it's a huge issue. as a consequence we have mostly tenured folks, and a handful of very brave pre-tenure assistants, who've agreed to work with us on various projects.

Students Rank Lecture Capture 'Most Important' Blended Learning Resource - 3 views

  • students selected Lecture Capture as the 'most important blended learning technology resource,' followed by 'Course/Learning Management Systems' and 'Smartboards & Projectors.' Eighty-four percent of respondents said they would like to see institutions expand the use of blended learning while 86 percent responded that it increases their understanding of course material.
  • Among the top benefits of lecture capture and blended learning solutions identified by students are:Helps me review material from class Helps me prepare for exams Allows me to learn independently Clarifies confusing topics Improves overall learning experience Helps me use my time more efficiently

    good comment. my initial interest was piqued by the rather large n for the study (2,000 is pretty good for ed tech research). you have to request the white paper and it's then emailed to you, so if anyone else wants to check it out let me know and I can send it along to you and you can avoid getting on echo's spam list... the study itself is interesting in that it asks about a pretty diverse list of perceived benefits of LC. it should be noted that half of the respondents are at medical or public health schools; I guess that just happens to be a big client base for echo. they also break things down by undergrad and grad responses, which is another way our group could go if we so choose (ie. are there distinct differences in use for UG vs. grad, etc).

Is lecture capture the worst educational technology? | Mark Smithers - 0 views

  •  
    looks like it's viewable without joining the group. that does raise an interesting question, though, about how private we want our working group to be. it's something we can discuss when we meet.
