  23. Lecture Capture Best Practices • Course Visuals Guidelines • Rule of 5 - use no more than five words across on a line and five rows of text down - less is more. • Create Chapter Introduction Slides- automatic indexing • Text Size - use minimum 24 point font, so text can be read easily by audience. • Pictures are worth a thousand words - use images, graphs, and charts to display ideas. • Don't Read Slides - use slides to emphasize or highlight what you are saying. • Use all computer resources- no need for screen shots- everything is automatically captured in motion

  24. Lecture Capture Best Practices • Online Presentations and Recordings • “Walk in. Teach. Walk out.” Act naturally. • Avoid wearing stripes or busy patterns • Remember Your Online Audience! • Point to slides using mouse if possible • Repeat questions from students • Create chapter slides for easier thumbnail search • Know your camera angles
