E. Mitchell's Navigate 2.1.4 – Lecture Capture Quest

Address the following questions in your blog concerning Lecture Capture:
  • How would the resource function in the online classroom?
  • How would the integration of Lecture Capture modify teaching methods?


When teaching AP Psychology I overly stress to the students how the course is designed much like a college course.  I have referred to lectures done by psychology professors uploaded to platforms like TeacherTube to show my students.  With my traditional students I can balance lecture and activities.  With my online students I often find this difficult.  I feel pressured to use my weekly Adobe sessions to lecture rather than do class activities.  When I read survey comments about online classes and speak to most parents, their concern is the loss of lecture---some students just need to hear the material from the teacher.  

I would enjoy being able to capture some lectures of mine for the online classroom.  Teaching a course that is not as objective as others, it would be great for me to provide ample examples in relation to explaining class material.  I could then use my weekly Adobe time for review, activities, and class discussions.  In an AP class where I am assessed with student scores, I feel compelled to provide lectures when I can to clarify material.  I feel having this option as an extra resource for students would be beneficial though time consuming to create at first.
