By Covering 15 Minutes of the Content for Lecture in a Video CaptureBy: Brian Pinney, Ph.D. Educational Specialist As content invariably grows, it can often be added into what is already present. While this works in the short term, over longer periods, serious inflation of material can happen. A caution prior to reading on: this writing does make an attempt to suggest whether that material should or shouldn't remain within your course. The true problem arises in content overload for students studying as well as faculty teaching.
Therefore, a challenge can be to review the material for the most pertinent and up-to-date material. The material that is less critial can be moved into supplementary material as a handout or even recorded mini-lecture. As a note, students are less likely to actually look at this material. Conversely, a roughly 15 minute topic could be recorded and uploaded to D2L. While this "kicks the can" so to speak, it does afford more contact time with the students to explain or provide opportunities to engage students within the class session using the content.
