Teaching via Video Conferencing To boldly go where none of us have gone before….
References • Robyn Honeman from her teaching via video conferencing presentation • www.ritls-ant07.wikispaces.com – please visit this site
Guidelines/Protocols • Mute when not speaking • Up Close and Personal Shot • Mobile Phone off or on silent • Gestures are acceptable • Q’s – Name and Site • Interruptions OK • Pastel Paper and Whiteboard Marker
Why use Video Conferencing? Enhanced learning experiences • Specialist teachers • Industry experts • Cross campus Delivery
Why use Video Conferencing • Increased flexibility • Make courses viable (Low student numbers can be collated) • It’s fun • Less Drive Time….. • Multi-campus delivery can minimise costs
Good Practices • Good Camera Shots • Up Close and Personal • Background – avoid clutter if possible • Contrast clothing with background
Good Practices • Avoid • Reds Bleed • White – reflect glare • Strong patterns • Black and very dark – blend into background
Preparing Materials • Quality rather than quantity • Not all images will be suitable: • complicated diagrams • detailed notes • certain colours and graphics • finely detailed slides
Text and Fonts • Sans Serif fonts Tahoma Arial Universal Verdana • Size • Text:28 pt >32 pt • Headings: 40 pt >44 pt
Text and Fonts Smaller font sizes, like 20, may be illegible at the far end. Lotsofcolourscanbedistracting
VC –v- Classroom • Change of Focus • Powerpoint – font and sizes • Interactive • Plan Resources and Lesson Plan • Learning Styles of Students • 1 hr Classroom = 2 ½ hr VC • Documents on Screen – how long?
Practical Implications • Additional session planning • Got to be well planned in advance • The ability to change the session plan according to needs of the audience • just as might happen in face to face delivery • Back up Plan!
