Enhancing Online Delivery beyond PowerPoint
Evans, Ruby; Champion, Iris
Community College Enterprise, v13 n2 p75-84 Fall 2007
Guidance and verbal directions, usually received in a face-to-face (F2F) classroom, are often conspicuously absent from online courses. Like their peers in traditional classroom settings, students in online classes need clear, concise instructions (Cramer, Collins, Snider, & Fawcett, 2006). Screen capture and recording technologies, such as Camtasia and SnagIt, add a twist to instruction that can bring new life to online courses. These tools--which support screen capture, recording, and editing--help online instructors communicate more clearly by creating engaging and professional presentations (Smith & Smith, 2007; Speed & Hardin, 2001). In brief, instructional planning + electronic media = excellent instructional delivery.
