Presenting Online? No Choice

As a long time advocate for online delivery and knowing that many are not comfortable with this delivery system I am going to share some simple tips.

First – accept my Team invite as your colleagues may be some of your best resources.

Second- Keep it Simple, you know your content so deliver it.  If Mediasite Desktop Recorder or Studio or YouTube are intimidating you can create a voice-over PowerPoint for deliver.

Third – Keep in touch with your students whether by email, chat, try webconferencing for real time communication and there is always the phone.

Fourth – if something doesn’t work, take a deep breath, try again or put it aside and work on something else.

Here’s a new link with a crash course for smaller classes, labs and assessment from the North Carolina School of Science and Math is a leader in providing synchronous education. They’ve opened up some of their training to others in the UNC System.

About engaging students with video polling, quizzing and commenting extends to current events.  Anyone remember H1N1 virus, well a posting done on this blog in September 2009 addresses being prepared.  With Blackboard and Canvas content can be delivered and Mediasite Desktop Recorder and Canvas Studio are ways to record lectures, give updates and keep everyone informed.

Here is a link to a Mediasite Webinar on Friday to Optimize your Plan

Additionally since next week is Spring Break if you are not comfortable with desktop recording or need to use devices such as document camera, most of the classrooms here at HSB will be available to do recordings.
