  1. Creating effective eTEACH presentations Why and how to use eTEACH Gregory Moses Department of Engineering Physics Teaching & Learning Symposium University of Wisconsin-Madison May 31, 2007 Madison, WI

  2. Outline • What is eTEACH? • Principles of teaching and learning • Getting started with eTEACH • Questions and discussion

  3. What is eTEACH? • eTEACH is a web-based multi-media video presentation tool with powerful navigation features • eTEACH was originally developed as a Microsoft-centric research project • eTEACH 3.0 has been re-issued by DoIT as a multi-platform application

  4. eTEACH in action—CS 310 Engineering Problem-solving with Computers • Extensive web content • Problem based • eTEACH lectures • Two labs per week • Individual lab – proctored quiz on past week’s team lab and current week’s content • Team lab – work on problems in 3-person teams, grade attendance (professionalism) • Three exams, 7 homework assignments CS310

  5. Assessing Lecturing Learning Three elements to learning Conventional faculty view

  7. Teaching Assessing Learning “You get what you grade”—student learning is driven by assessment Corollary: There is no “optional”.

  8. Tools of the Trade—Bloom’s Taxonomy for Assessment • Knowledge—restate information • Comprehension—explain concepts • Application—apply information • Analysis—analyze a situation • Synthesis—integrate and diagnose • Evaluation—judge Know what you want your students to know and tell them what you want them to know.

  9. Seven principles of good practice in undergraduate education • Encourages contact between students and faculty. • Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students. • Encourages active learning. • Gives prompt feedback. • Emphasizes time-on-task. • Communicates high expectations. • Respects diverse talents and ways of learning.

  10. Getting started with eTEACH • What are your learning objectives? • What is the instructional design to meet your learning objectives? • How does eTEACH fit into this instructional design?

  11. Getting started with eTEACH • What do I do? • Prepare a conventional lecture with PowerPoint slides. • What equipment is needed? • Video camera, microphone, lights, some form of teleprompting. Get equipment at DoIT’s Digital Media Center. • Do I need a studio to shoot the video? • No, it can be done in your office.

  15. Getting started with eTEACH • How much technical skill is required? Can students author the content? • The hardest step is video editing. Students need four hours of training. eTEACH author is server application. • Does it cost a lot? • Equipment costs under $1,000 if you already have computers. • How long does it take? • 30 minutes to set up equipment. 1 hour to shoot 20 minute lecture. 2 hours for processing 20 minute lecture.

  16. eTEACH hurdles and experiences • Getting comfortable with talking to camera lens is biggest hurdle. • Repeat individual slides and not whole presentation. Tell editor about retakes. • Forget about camera running. • 55 minute class lecture is 20-25 minute eTEACH presentation. • No extraneous comments or logistics • Talk faster and allow for rewind and review • Students prefer faster pace.
