Video Classroom on a Shoestring
12/11/2001
Meyer notes another benefit: no additional class prep time. Because he lectures much like he would in front of a class full of students, he d'esn’t have to prepare special diagrams, course notes, or text material. There’s no need to move his course material onto a Web page or into a course management product.
Meyer also sees the approach as a way to reach students around the world who may not have access to the latest technology tools. “It’s a way to broaden distance education to developing countries and anyplace where there are interested students,” he says.
