Now since we all are confined to our homes we are using various apps for online study. I always felt recording lectures and posting on platforms like YouTube will be an added advantage to students. I am sharing my experience here about recording the lecture and posting it on YouTube. Please share it. If you have better idea please share so that teaching community can be benefited.
Please find the list of software which one can use to create one's own video by sharing your screen (ppt, software, excel, word anything) and uploading on platforms like YouTube.
1. Tiny Take by MangoApps ( allows recording upto 5 mins) in free version
2. Screencast-O-Matic. Very useful and allows to record 15mins of video. Directly we can upload vidro on YouTube from the app only. My experience is good with Screencast-O-Matic, however currently I'm facing some issues with it.
3. Bandicam. It allows for 10 mins of video. I have just started using it.
YouTube videos are very good mode as students can see it at their own will, can do back and forth and also post queries as a comment. My experience has been very encouraging and students are enjoying studying through this platform. Moreover, 15 min session in this form can cover easily content of roughly 30-40 mins.
These videos can be watched by students before we conduct online classes and online (zoom) classroom sessions can be kind of question answer or doubts clearing sessions.
I am sure there would be other ways but I thought of sharing this with you all based on my experience. If you have some better platform or ideas please share.
Let's make virtual learning a better experience for students.
Stay Home Stay Safe.
