The Organization of the Use of Audiovisual Recordings of Synchronous Lessons in the Process of Distance Learning

Abstract

Modern network video conferencing services provide a variety of opportunities for conducting synchronous lessons in a distance learning system. The article summarizes the results of 20 years of experience in creating and using audiovisual recordings of full-time and distance learning lessons in university and school class-rooms, combining high-tech and high-touch approaches to increase the effectiveness of teaching. Video recordings of lessons in the process of full-time study can be successfully used in remote form for repetition and consolidation of training materials. A method of rational organization of the information space of synchronous remote high-touch sessions in mini-groups is proposed. The software applications are described that contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the primary presentation of information to students of the “Y” generation in the distance learning process. It is recommended to use the capabilities of “Microsoft Whiteboard” and “Snip & Sketch” applications to illustrate the discussed information and then publish illustrations in online albums of the training groups of specialized sites. The advantages and disadvantages of various software and hardware configurations when organizing remote sessions with their video recording are analyzed. It is recommended to publish distance-learning videos on the Vimeo service in order to increase the effectiveness of repetition, consolidation, control, systematization and generalization of educational information through the use of targeted collective notes associated with illustrations and additional educational materials.
