Suggested Uses and Pedagogies

1. Capture your entire live lecture (audio and video of the presenter, and PowerPoint) as you deliver it to your face-to-face class. This method duplicates the experience of being in the lecture hall, but might require the instructor to remain at the podium (or use a webcam that tracks movements). Using this method, students who missed class can experience it exactly as it occurred.
2. Capture just the audio and PowerPoint presentation of your live lecture. To allow roaming away from the podium, simply record the PowerPoint and your audio, without a webcam to capture your face. The video file made available to the student still synchronizes your PowerPoint presentation to your verbal lecture, and the slides still change as you changed them. All that is missing is a video of the instructor herself.
3. Re-create your lecture in private, and make the combined voice, video, and PowerPoint video available as a download to replace a face-to-face lecture delivery. Creating a lecture specifically for online delivery may be ideal for Mixed-Mode or Web courses. For face-to-face classes, recording the lectures in this fashion would mean delivering the lecture a second time in private (otherwise, see point #1 above).
4. Create intentionally short videos (consisting of voice plus PowerPoint) that augment rather than replace the traditional lecture. Demonstrations are particularly popular topics for short videos that augment lectures.
