WHY USE INSTRUCTOR SCREENCASTING?
In classroom mode: Student-directed learning
In flipped/mixed mode: Content is covered outside of class time Connection to instructor
The solution is to screencast!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvKu2T9Kovo
INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPED SCREENCASTS:
CONS Time required to
produce Teaching style the
same (videos are copies of lessons)
Passive (not active) learning
PROS Students choose
when/where/how often learning occurs
Capitalize on ‘out of class time’ learning
Provides review for exams/tests/quizzes
BIG IDEA - STUDENT DEVELOPED MATHCASTS!!
CONNECTING COLLEGE TO CAREER (C^5):
Project Goal:
To develop a categorized library of mathematics and application videos (AODA compliant) produced by and for students
“This initiative has received funding through the Seneca Pillar Sponsorship program”
