What you say makes good sense. I shall stick with an audio recording, and maybe post on line here whatever I put on the board [or flash on a screen -- that much UNC can apparently manage with ease.].<br /><br />Many thanks.Robert Paul Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970360952872431856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-15749248395341070032014-08-26T14:58:03.330-04:002014-08-26T14:58:03.330-04:00There are many good reasons not to attempt video l...There are many good reasons not to attempt video lectures. I have been using a SOny IC digital voice recorder and its SOund Organizer software program to record all philosophy lectures. With audio files, I am able to put whole courses (about 20-25 hours of lectures) on one 700 MB CD, use MP3 files which will play any where, and download or upload files in a matter of minutes later that day. SMall and low tech is much better I think for we poor philosophers. Yale University filmed some of its courses and makes them available online at YOutube to watch for free, however it supposedly cost them about $30,000 per course to do it. You need a camera person, editor, or producer and more time to do good video, excellent audio however is practically achievable for a $50 digital voice recorder and access to a fast computer/internet connection. More professors should be forced to listen to themselves. Always remember to say aloud or describe what you put on the board to your listeners. I put the texts or handouts (class outline, etc.) I use in class online so that a person can see what we use in class as well.Tony Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152011867765494204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-25852220641826761902014-08-26T11:41:21.687-04:002014-08-26T11:41:21.687-04:00That apparently poses additional technical pronlem...That apparently poses additional technical pronlems.
