I’ve been giving some thought to recording lectures using a voice recorder and lapel mic. Once you get past the argument of whether you believe this is a good idea or not, here are a few suggestions;
- Number and Title your slides and refer to the title or number during the lecture - this keeps listeners on the same slide
- Re-state all student questions before answering them.
- Pause your recorder when a large pause occurs due to an activity.
You may want to consider getting an audio editor like audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to increase the volume of your MP3 recording and editing out the long pauses… Don’t spend too much time editing, this can become a time hole. Posting the MP3’s to odeo
http://odeo.com can also be a good idea for it could attract more attention to your work.
Having lectures posted as MP3’s, slides and lecture notes provides the ability for students to review and reflect after the lecture. This provides a new way for students to deepen their learning.
