Operating system: Windows 7+, Mac OS X , Ubuntu 10+, or Linux OS 11+ (64-bit)
Internet connection with 1+ Mbps

7. How we did it
Used video as a supporting technology in a face-to-face class
Recording session in the lab live
Live streaming allowing students (limited number) to watch live from home
Length of video ~ 50 min
Published immediately after the session
No post-production

8. Feedback Most of the viewers (97%) did access the recording on- demand
Growing interest in watching the live streaming of the session
Students do not watch the entire recording in one session
overall average view duration is 5.6 min
for live streaming the average view duration is 18 min

9. Statistics
Most of the students watch the video shortly before the tests
Only small group uses this support in their regular practice
Majority accesses the video from the computer (desktop/laptop)

10. Issues Postproduction cost: adding captions, trimming, adding overlays
1:5 ratio (one minute video: five minutes in postproduction)
Automated captioning is inaccurate
Blackboard not visible in video when capturing screen
Many faculty members are not used to recording, walk away from the microphone which impacts the quality of the video

11. Conclusion Video is proven to work in various domains
Helps with skills acquisition allowing students to watch specific task when and where they need the instructions
Our stats show that students use video as a last-minute support
Some students access live streaming
