Traditional Lectures – should contain more active learning rather than passive learning Programming Hard skill-base
Interactive Lecture– developed 2012-13 term Large lab Tutor Demonstrations Students replicated actions Screenleap.com
What I learnt – students loved the approach but… Playback option Other students Framerate problems Mic & speakers Firefighting Tutor too fast
Improve? – use a cloud-based broadcasting (screen-casting) approach Playback Delivery via browser Better Framerate (60fps) Digital audio On/Off Campus Free
iLecture – communication Text-based, AJAX Student respond to queries Student identity Peer support
iLecture – issues Only one session where students experience streaming problems Not automated (recording/hosting) Some lag (10 – 30 seconds) Lots of firefighting comments Students find it difficult to keep-up
iLecture – benefits viewed off-campus Students viewed same day but after live broadcast No plugins for PLAYBACK Revision support Record of student activity (module) Learning by doing Increased attendance compared to traditional lecture
