Microlectures

I picked this one up off of Twitter (@mcleod) – microlectures via The Chronicle of Higher Education.

One of the things that we have been trying to impress on instructors is that they don’t need to record entire lectures and infact 5-10 minutes is all that is needed. But these 60second bits could be the game changer. Of course, they will take much longer to think and plan out, but that part is all in the traditional element of academia – write and revise. The “new” part of recording and editing is now very much limited, perhaps enough to get more instructors hip to this ‘casting idea.
