Recording of Lectures Explained

Posted on

An example of how to record lectures.

Rig a webcam on the end of a flexible neck stand (or desk lamp) to point down at your desk, and grab a pile of blank paper and sharpies to solve/draw as if drawing something for someone sitting next to you.

Use your office or some other room that has a whiteboard. Place your laptop in front of it and record your lecture on the whiteboard with your laptop’s camera. Write large and with contrasting colors to be visible. What you will see live will be in reverse (as in a mirror), but the final version will be correct.

Screen Recording on a Tablet

Instructions for how to screen record on a tablet.

A tablet can be a really good whiteboard. With the Notability app, for instance, we can make high-quality handwritten notes, or high-quality annotations of pdf documents (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notability/id360593530).

That’s what I did in this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KefYRtjHxvU

Steps:

  1. Get an app for a high-quality whiteboard (for drawing figures, equations etc.)
  2.  Import notes / R output / graphs into this app, to draw onto as you would in lecture
  3.  Record what you are saying & doing on your tablet with screen + audio recording
  4.  Upload your recording to Mediaspace with Kaltura, then embed in your Canvas course for students to see: https://kb.wisc.edu/luwmad/page.php?id=42443
