Video
conferencing lectures: how not to do it |
In this sequence we invite the viewer to watch through a
thoroughly bad lecture, and write down all the mistakes that the lecturer
does in front of the camera |
|
What
went wrong? |
This video
highlights and discusses the lecturer's mistakes in
the sequence above |
 |
Giving
a lecture by videoconference, part 2: still room for improvement |
The technical side of the video conference works flawlessly,
but still no interaction |
 |
Giving
a lecture by videoconference, part 3: how to do it |
A varied and structured lecture which is also
interactive |
 |
The
importance of eye contact |
This video stresses the sheer importance of looking into the
camera to maintain eye contact with the other party |
 |
Pen
colours on flipovers: which color works better? |
Some pen colours (such as light green) are barely visible
when filming a flipover |
 |
Pen
colours on whiteboards: which color works better? |
Some pen colours (such as light green) are barely visible
when filming a whiteboard |
 |
Failure
to use camera presets |
This video demonstrates the sheer chaos of a video lecture
that doesn't use camera presets |
 |
Correctly
using camera presets |
Shows how to use camera presets to eliminate time-consuming
adjustmests of the camera |
 |
Monitor views: Continous
presence |
Shows a screen layout often used in e.g. collaborative
meetings, where all participants are visible simultanously |
 |
Monitor views: Voice-activated
camera switching |
A screen layout where the last person to speak in shown in
full screen for the other participants |
 |
Request
floor |
Some types of videoconferencing equipment enables any
participant to "request floor", ie. to request to be shown in full screen
for the other participants to see |
 |
Assign
floor |
Demonstrates that the person controlling the conference can
at any time "assign floor" to a participant, ie. show the participant in
full screen for the others to see |
 |
A
sample video lecture |
Here we join in on a video lecture in physics |
 |
A
practical example of interaction in a video lecture |
Shows a concrete way of achieving interaction in a video
lecture. The participants are given an assignment by the lecturer, and
present their answer on a flipover |
 |
Intolerable
noise levels |
An example of how noise levels can reach intolerable heights
during a video conference, due to unwanted chatting, paper shuffling
etc. |
 |
Confused
lecturer |
This video shows that even highly experiences lecturers are
liable to panic in the event of technical problems |
 |
About
digital whiteboards |
Gives an introduction to pressure-sensitive digital
whiteboards |
 |
Using
digital whiteboards to perform interactive calculations |
A demonstration of how a digital whiteboard can be used to
perform interactive calculation in mathematics. Relevant parameters are
entered into a web applet, which performs the calculations and displays
the result in the form of a 3D graph. The graph can be rotated, zoomed in
on etc. |

Using
a document camera in a video conference |
Shows different ways of using a document camera in a video
