Editor's Notes
- #3 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.
- #7 All these changes are creeping into campus learning – incremental.
- #9 Note – not like the picture – lower your expectations – 80/20 rule – think Khan Academy
- #11 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?
- #27 Fiendishly simple, it takes ANY Document or PowerPoint or Video and turns it, with 1-click, into online learning.
