Lecture capture is an asynchronous way of sharing information. In the previous blogs, I enjoyed having an archived version of a synchronous lesson that could be used later asynchronously. It would be nice to have a library of videos that the students could reference.

I think that these methods could be used for just in time direct instruction. If a student needed to review a concept, there could be a bank of videos that the students could review. A great example of this is Khan Academy. In addition, students could watch the lecture and discuss information. There are programs available that will even pause the video, so the teacher can check for understanding.  A great example is https://edpuzzle.com/ that allows the teacher to pause the lecture, talk and ask questions.

I believe that lecture capture can modify teaching methods by allowing students to learn at their own pace. Students can use the lectures as remediation or enrichment. In addition, giving students time to watch lectures can allow for time to review and reflect creating thoughtful discussion posts. It also may be helpful for introverts who do not enjoy participating live, but will participate in a safe environment where they have time to reflect and plan their participation.
