Hot Team: Faculty Guide to Teaching through Videoconferencing
A "primer" for faculty who are relatively new to using videoconferencing for teaching, including suggestions and examples.
Videoconferencing
In 2006, Allan Gyorke of TLT produced a Faculty Guide to Teaching through Videoconferencing white paper. The paper provides 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. The 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.
The 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.
