It's More Than Lecture Re-Runs

In this article, "It's More Than Lecture Re-Runs," from Greentree Gazette, Tom Robinson writes about a program at the University of Central Florida which records lectures and serves them up to students via the Web for review:

Recording may have improved learning in the lecture environment. Instructors talk ten times faster than students write. Knowing they can revisit the lecture, students pay attention, rather than taking notes. Instructors control a mixer with the option to toggle back and forth between themselves, the document camera or a computer. Recordings can be made anywhere, anytime, from home, office or while at a conference; no elaborate studio is required.
