Editor's Notes
I’ve been formally and informally helping colleagues for 20 years in Sligo
“How much time will this take me to do”
I think video may provide the best impact/effort ratio.
This is the first time I’ve presented on this topic – it may seem narrow – but give what I believe is its “value for money” and the fact that it does link to other e-learning issues it is worth concentrating on.
Modes for use will bring up other technologies and bigger issues relating to change.
Note – not like the picture – lower your expectations – 80/20 rule – think Khan Academy
Here's something simple we can do.
Teach just as before – very easy and cheap to record and publish.
Do you need to give these lectures again next year?
