Calvin James Smith – Department of Maths & Statistics Overview We created short videos advertising the content of modules to enable students to make more informed choices during the module selection process. Staff reported mixed experiences and interest in Mediasite personal capture so other mechanisms were also used (e.g. Camtasia, use of camcorder). Student feedback […]

I then uploaded them to Blackboard (via a video library) for this module. I was consulting with colleagues working with me on using […]
