I've been going over the study schedule and taking a look through the various activities - currently looking at the PowerPoint/ you-tube sections.
While I am generally a fan of PowerPoint and use it in a variety of personal applications and professional presentations, I have steered away from it in my current teaching of external NONA students. I have found that videos seem to be more effective there for student learning as it offers a more humanised presence offering the best face-to-face teaching contact for external learners. It also gives students more of a 'feel' of who you are, which in my experience, makes student more comfortable with calling/emailing me if there are any problems or concerns with their studies.
You-tube is one that I do use - sparingly I might add - on my moodle site. The clips that I use are linked to specific areas of the modules that students are undertaking. I have placed a link to one that I use and really like - have had great student feedback on this one - along with others, but thought I would share this one with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as my students do!
