Re-inventing the Lecture (Or, Why Online Lectures Don't Work, and What We Can Do About It)

Good video :)

I came across it through "Hacking the Academy" as a random choice.

I'm considering entering the field of Digital Humanities and signing up for an MA in September, so this was quite relevant!

Thanks :)

Good advice. I will try to follow it in my courses.

Retius,

Your summary of "online classes = good. Online lectures = boring" is definitely the part that TheGisdoc is missing. The "age spots" people would say to not share the information at all, and not put the lectures online. The "non-age spots" people would (and ARE) saying Yes! Share the information! In fact, make it MORE interactive and take MORE advantage of recent advances in internet and computing technologies, not simply record the lecture with a video camera and upload when you're done

Unfortunately, the only way I see to push this idea into the main stream is to wait for most of the faculty with "age spots" to retire :( It is simply such an extreme shift in learning styles and technology that they seem unwilling, if not incapable, of understanding how to adapt.
