Now why didn’t I think of that? ? ?

Mediasite recording equipment is primarily used here at CAHS for lecture capture for delivery to our Distance Education programs but I recently read these suggestions on a forum I belong to, the OET has two portable recorders which can be set up just about anywhere with an electrical outlet!

Using Mediasite we could “produce short learning modules that students can use as preparation for class time, study guides for tests, etc.”

“The faculty . . . comes into our classroom/studio . . . to produce a 15 minute module that would [be] around a specific subject.  This could also be done in the classroom as well.

For example, [you] could use it to instruct students on how to set up a sterile workspace so that it would meet standards. This would provide the student with something they could refer back to while they are practicing their “sterile method” and check what they are doing compared to the standard.  This could also be done for other “how to’s” e.g. catheter insertion, IV set up, etc.  Since they are short modules that allow students to study and practice outside of class this provides for a much more productive session in the classroom.  Students come armed with more thoughtful questions and classroom instruction becomes more productive. “
