Using Videos to Bring Lecture to the Online Classroom

Students’ individual differences impact their learning experience. Reading the textbook, instructor notes, and emails may not provide all students with information in a way that meets their learning needs. Online students often say they miss traditional lectures; one option for providing these online is through video. The purpose of this paper is to share insights and lessons learned from making instructional videos for three online courses. Issues discussed are preparation, how many videos to record, video format/style, technical brief, and other tips.
