1. iLectures - D ESIGNING AND DEVELOPING INTERACTIVE LECTURES USING CLOUD - BASED BROADCASTING SOLUTIONS John Busch QUB Belfast School of EEECS

2. Context - CSC2024 Web Tech & Programming Web Programming Software Development PHP(MySQL) ASP.NET (MSSQL) Mixed Cohort 110 - 200

3. Traditional Lectures – should contain more active learning rather than passive learning Programming Hard skill-base

4. Interactive Lecture– developed 2012-13 term Large lab Tutor Demonstrations Students replicated actions Screenleap.com

5. What I learnt – students loved the approach but… Playback option Other students Framerate problems Mic & speakers Firefighting Tutor too fast

6. Playback Delivery via browser Better Framerate (60fps) Digital audio On/Off Campus Free Improve? – use a cloud-based broadcasting (screen-casting) approach

7. iLecture – built web UI to host live broadcasting stream

8. iLecture – Access on of off campus

9. iLecture – BROADCAST - passive

10. iLecture – BROADCAST - active

11. iLecture – communication Text-based, AJAX Student respond to queries Student identity Peer support

12. iLecture – PLAYBACK- passive

13. iLecture – PLAYBACK- active

14. iLecture – issues Only one session where students experience streaming problems Not automated (recording/hosting) Some lag (10 – 30 seconds) Lots of firefighting comments Students find it difficult to keep-up

15. iLecture – benefits viewed off-campus Students viewed same day but after live broadcast No plugins for PLAYBACK Revision support Record of student activity (module) Learning by doing Increased attendance compared to traditional lecture
