Online Teaching Techniques:
Where to Start When Teaching Online at MiraCosta
Lisa M. Lane
6. Radical ideas
- Do the entire course from the discussion board
- Do the entire course as a blog, or at least use them as announcements, lecture, discussion (see Jim Sullivan's site)
- Audio record all your lectures, and use a text-to-speech program to type them out
- Video record your lectures (be a talking head)
- Create an image map
- Make a slideshow with audio (sample using LiveSlideshow saved as Quicktime movie)
- Show movie clips (if you're into ripping DVDs and editing)
- Use javascript pop-up windows for quick information inside a class page (learn the code or use a code generator)
