Hot Team: Faculty Guide to Teaching through Videoconferencing

Posted on August 11, 2006 
Filed Under Hot Team, White Papers

Allan Gyorke, Manager of Educational Technology, within Education Technology Services recently produced an excellent Faculty Guide to Teaching through Videoconferencing white paper. Allan’s paper does a very nice job of providing some insight into the use of videoconferencing to support teaching and learning.

The purpose of this guide is to be a pedagogical primer for faculty who are relatively new to using videoconferencing to teach a course. This guide contains a list of questions that have been asked by faculty along with suggestions and examples provided by experienced videoconferencing instructors. These suggestions were supported based on research in the field of distance education.

This guide does not go into technical details on operating videoconferencing equipment since each setup has a unique set of features and controls. Information Technology Services has a good technical overview of videoconferencing systems. For a list of other technical and research resources, please see the “Additional Resources” section at the end of the document.

If you are interested, the White Paper is available for download. Also, if there are things you would like to discuss please leave comments.
