The purpose of this article is to discuss the home-made production of lecture video presentations to be used in place of face-to-face classroom instruction during periods of quarantine. Using the online platforms of Adobe and Ensemble together with the purchase of a few sound recording instruments a series of home-made video presentations of classroom lectures were produced. The video presentations contained the standard classroom lecture and supplemented film clips and news reports on the topics as appropriate. "Easter Eggs" were placed at various points in the video for entertainment purposes and to keep viewer interest at a maximum. The results were formed from student comments discussing their perception of the videos for learning. These comments were overwhelmingly positive, and a sample are included. These videos together with the written lectures available to read or to be read to the student by Word will facilitate a variety of learning styles. Not knowing if or when the next health crisis will quarantine our students implications from student comments are that having video lectures of content material helps to encourage student persistence in the absence of the positive classroom environment created by face-toface contact with instructors and fellow students.
