Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is good stuff. Described as one person's "attempt  to create a home video studio to more closely approximate the on-campus experience, and provides recommendations for a minimally-sufficient studio" it offers some examples of tools and approaches to providing video instruction from home (and maybe, one day in the future, schools can use this sort of set-up instead of paying for expensive video studios). Paralleling my own experience, Sean Willems uses Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) as the virtual camera, thus making format changes quick and effective. He also does a lot more than I have ever done, including a lightboard station and a document camera. The document (24 page PDF) provides an equipment list and reflections after eight weeks of teaching using the set-up. The best bit of advice: having a teaching assistant (TA) who can handle issues on the fly. Via Tom Woodward.
