Supplement Classroom Learning with Screen Capture Software

Technology In The Classroom

Instructional technology can–and should–be changing the way college faculty conduct classes.

Today, students can access course information online, around the clock.

Are faculty members at your institution taking full advantage of this fact?

If not, it may be time for a skills upgrade to stay current with the latest advances in instructional technology.

The growing availability of portable multimedia devices and the proliferation of Course Management Systems make the time right for college instructors to begin to integrate audio and video teaching and learning modules to create more engaging–and more effective–courses.

Using online tutorials including vodcasts and podcasts, instructors can extend their reach beyond the classroom and bridge the gap between face-to-face and independent learning. The bonus is: students love it.

With readily available software, faculty members can learn to extend their reach and increase their impact without having to log more contact hours with students. It truly is an educational revolution in the making.
