Abstract
During the spring 2009 semester, Professor Anne-Marie Lerner began teaching engineering in a Mediasite-enabled classroom.  Three semesters later, she believes lecture capture has made her a better instructor.  And today, she's still teaching synchronously to traditional students in the on-site classroom and asynchronously to non-traditional, distance education students. During this lively discussion, she'll cover:
  • Tips to overcome barriers to faculty adoption and evangelism
  • What mainstream media can teach instructors about teaching through webcasts
  • How to embrace tablet PCs and in-room video cameras for course instruction
  • How to use student engagement levels to gauge how they will perform
