Classes Officially Begin
Susan has arrived and we began recording lectures for the Clinical Aspects of HIV/AIDS and other Opportunistic Diseases. Susan is a hard worker and I have enjoyed the time that we have spent together putting class content into Moodle and in SoftChalk.
Unfortunately she didn't have any materials created before she arrived and so course creation has been on the fly. I am doing the best I can and so is she with the limited amount of time that we have together.
In addition to lack of content. The microphone that we ordered isn't working properly and so we are getting a lot of static in the recordings as you will notice when you view her course in Moodle (www.espnur.org/courses/). Email me if you would like to login as a student.
I have placed two courses up on Moodle, prepared the course framework for the remaining teachers to arrive this summer, worked on a filing system for teachers to follow if they don't have one created, and devised some solutions to the bandwidth issues.
The major solution is being very organized so packets of information can be placed in small sections. Second creating more than one option for students to receive the information. And finally keeping high bandwidth media (audio/visual) to a minimum.
We are recording lectures live to save time and also to make the lectures much more interactive. If we had better (microphones, mixer, and video equipment that worked in sinc and software to edit) the recording would be flawless and the presentation much more professional. Right now we are doing the best with what we have.
Hope things are going good with projects that you are working on.
