Dont lose lectures topublic holidays
This semester, Chinese New Year will resultin two days of lost lectures. This need not
be the case. Using tools made familiar toyou during previous eLearning Weeks, youcan record lectures which your students
can view at their leisure.
The simplest option is to pre-record yourwebcast. You can use the webcast requestform to arrange to have your lecture
recorded before the holiday and have itmade available for viewing during and
after the holiday.
If you want to do-it-yourself, you can use
Breeze (creation on Windows andPowerPoint only, viewing on Win/Mac/Linux with the Flash Player plugin
installed) to create standalone onlinepresentations with audio narration, simplequizzes and interactivity. This will be
available online to your students as aFlash-based presentation.
Not using Windows or PowerPoint? Needto display a website or to demonstrate
software? You can use screen recordingsoftware instead. Think of it as a virtual
camera pointed at your computer screen.CIT provides Camtasia Relay and Ink2Go!for screen recording purposes. Both allow
you to record your screen while younarrate. Camtasia Relay creates an onlinevideo while Ink2Go! creates a video file
which should be uploaded to theMultimedia Bank in IVLE.
