Personal Strategies • Preparation & Organization • Arrive early • Organize the teaching space • Don’t assume the technology will work! • Dress for TV • “Make Love to the Camera” • Plan your moves
Classroom Strategies • Remember – ITV is NOT the same as the classroom! • You are the focus • Engage the remote site(s) • Handouts? • Pace • Use the Technology!
Instructional Strategies • Use the Medium • Word Pictures • Format is Different • 10% rule • Modularize • 15 minute “chunks” • commercial breaks
The first class • Orient your students to the environment • Review support services • Explain communication both in and out of class • Engage the remote sites
Training • TV Teaching Strategies & Content Development • Technology Training • CMS Training
Making the transition • It takes 9 months to a year to train and prepare for the first course! • Don’t plan to do it all at once • unless you are getting the necessary incentives (release time and extra pay)- • Give it three times
How has it worked for MCC? • Benefits • Access to courses not offered by your institution: • Don’t have the staff • Don’t have the enrollment • Experiences • Problems are usually logistical – not technical • Underestimation of the development time needed • Students still indicate preference for F2F
