  1. Project MODAL Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning John D. McKinley 8th June 2011 Project leads: Dr. John D. McKinley, Prof. Wei Sha

  2. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning Overview • Pre-recorded eLectures • More workshop-style activities • Lecture capture of live lectures • Additional resources through HELM • Student evaluation and engagement • Student performance • Tools and tips • MAPA and the QUB Maths Hub

  3. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning Lecture capture • • Tablet PC with a touchscreen • • Notes converted to PDFs • PDF Annotator during lectures • BB FlashBack for screen capture with audio • Audio-Technica ATR3350 lapel mic

  4. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning Lecture capture — audio • Headet vs. lapel mics

  5. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning Lecture capture — screen • BB FlashBack Express / Pro — good quality audio, simple to use, limited, low impact • Camtasia — good quality audio, heavy weight, very powerful, significant impact for sketching • Windows Media Encoder — reasonable audio, very basic, low impact, defunct • CamStudio — glitchy audio on older hardware, very basic, low impact

  6. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning Lecture capture — live

  7. Mathematics Online Directed Active Learning HELM Resources • • Build on HELM project funded by HEFCE, initial project value was £250,000 • Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics • 240 quality workbooks in 47 topics • Introductory level to level 2 or 3 • Workbooks available at www.qub.ac.uk/helm • Downloadable CAA packages • Access controlled using QoL login ID
