What's involved - lecturer checklist

Ring the eduStream contact and book eduStream for the session
Schedule your lecture for an eduStream venue
Attend an eduStream briefing
Consider the impact of eduStream on your teaching and learning, and plan any adjustments needed
Plan other forms of interaction for students at satellite campuses to complement eduStream

Place an eduStream link on the WebCT site for the subject
Ensure your satellite campus students receive information (available from CEDIR) about how to access eduStream lectures and use them effectively

(If needed) Upload your PowerPoint file
(If needed) Copy and distribute to the satellite campuses any materials that won’t be part of the recording, eg videos
(If needed) Seek consent from any guest lecturer to make a recording and advise that the presentation format is PowerPoint

Go to the CEDIR Audio Visual Store in Building 20 before the lecture and borrow a microphone or headset for your eduStream venue OR a MiniDisc recorder (for other venues)
Turn on the microphone just before you begin. This will trigger the system to start recording. If you don’t turn it on, the lecture won’t be recorded. Hint: don’t turn the microphone on until you are ready to start. Turning it off merely mutes the recording, it doesn’t stop the recording.
Consider greeting the remote students. A simple ‘Hello, Bega’ can have a powerful effect in making remote students feel they are part of your class.
Repeat questions and comments from the floor, so that they are recorded. Evaluations have shown that students find it very frustrating when this is forgotten.
Give oral cues if needed, eg ‘the next slide on the Value Chain shows …’
Avoid using the whiteboard. If possible, use the document camera instead to write out proofs, scribble diagrams etc. Or, use the overhead projector, and then scan and upload the pages later for satellite campus students.
Mute the microphone if you don’t want something recorded, eg during a coffee break.
Finish your lecture by 25 minutes past the final hour.
After the lecture, return the microphone or MiniDisc recorder to the Audio Visual Store.
