What Do You Do?
• Do you use video lectures in your
classes?
• If yes, how do you use them?

What Are Recorded Mini-
Lectures?
• Portions of traditional classroom
lectures
• Guides to use before readings
• Supplements to materials/readings
• Reinforcement of key concepts, themes

Why Not Use “Lecture
Capture”?
• Students more likely to watch shorter
videos
• Don’t need to see “talking head”
• Usable on computers, mobile devices
• Easy editing, formatting, captioning

What’s the Point?
• Lectures for completely online students
• Outside-class lectures for flipped classes
• Preparation for readings, lecture
• Reinforcement of readings, lectures
• Anytime/any device access

What We’re Doing at UW-Stout
• Chunking traditional lectures
• Making MP4 recordings
• Uploading recordings to Kaltura, You
Tube
• Making available to students

What We’re Using
• Camtasia Add-In for PowerPoint
(recording)
• Camtasia Studio (editing)
• Kaltura, You Tube
• D2L (links and viewing)

Caveats
• Keep them short!
• Plan ahead, start early
• Caption lectures
• Minimize use of webcam
– Instead, make a class/course intro video
– Or, add a picture of yourself on a lecture
slide
• Collect student feedback

Why Dr. Zimmerman Uses
Camtasia
• Presenting content online
• Prepare students for readings/lecture
• First exposure
• More student questions/activities
• Spend class time on integrating
material

Dr. Zimmerman’s Design
Strategies
• Different than lecturing
• Have an objective
• Develop a workflow

Integration into Courses
• Integral to flipped classroom
• Must hold students accountable for
videos

Dr. Zimmerman’s Reflections
• Go with what you are comfortable with
• Keep it short, (no, really!)
• Get student feedback regularly

Dr. Zimmerman’s Future Foci
• More student accountability
• More interactivity

Mini-Lecture Example
Short snippet of classical mechanics
video

Student Feedback
• Mostly positive responses
• Importance of captions
• Accessible at any time
• Short length
• Needs of adult learners
• Some improvements could be made

“Made it easier to take notes.”
“Having the subtitles helps a lot so I could pause the video and write
down things said in the video that I did not catch. “
“I like having the combination of narration and text; I think I relied
on the text most of all.”
“If I needed to pause the video to understand a concept, I could still
read and write down what was being said in the audio. “
“I was able to realize what the word was and on spelling for words I
didn't understand.”

The worst thing about the recorded
lectures was:
“Most of test material was in the lecture. Seemed like I was getting face-time with
professor even though it was an online class
“The best thing was being able to pause or go back. In a normal lecture, you cannot
do that. “
“I couldn't ask questions right away, I had to wait until class if I didn't understand
material.”
“Since we didn't have a face-to-face lecture, I found myself procrastinating and putting
off watching the lecture videos until a later date. “
