Lecture: recorded, zoomed, or what?

"With this year's quick and unexpected transition to online teaching," writes Lisa Lane, "many professors assumed that online lecture meant reproducing what they do in class." From my perspective it felt as though we were suddenly back in the 1990s. Anyhow, Lane continues, "For two decades, I've been pushing the idea that the technology should follow the pedagogy. Your preferred teaching method should dominate. In the rush, there had been no connection between a professor's pedagogy and their choice of format." Well, true, but there's more to it than that. What worked in the classroom might not work online, at least, not for this particular group of students. And there might be new things you could do that were just impossible in the classroom. As I said in a seminar yesterday, what you need to look at is what you're trying to accomplish. Then choose your pedagogy and your technology accordingly.
