On my journey to develop as an instructor, I identified the need to develop competency related to humanizing my online classes. I was fortunate to come across the work of Michelle Pacansky-Brock. I had just completed teaching an online doctoral course. I felt limited and confined in how I could help my students with their doctoral project development with the tools provided through our online LMS. I found my way to an free online program aimed at helping faculty develop their skill set in humanizing the classroom. As part of this program, I am asked to reflect on the pros and cons of instructor video in class.
Some of the pros that I have identified include:
- Students can visually see the instructor's body language, face, and presence.
- Students can hear the instructor's tone.
- The student's can connect with the faculty member.
Some of the cons may include:
- Requires technology. If the students don't have a video player, laptop, or smartphone, they may not be able to view the video.
- Students may not want to take the time to watch a video.
- The faculty may have poor video/audio equipment and thus the medium may be of poor quality.
These are just a few that come to mind. I hope to add more pros than cons as I learn more.

Hi Roberta, and welcome to the blogosphere! I saw your tweet and came to visit the brand-new blog. I agree with you about videos: there are pluses and minuses, and eveyrbody has to figure out what tips the balance. For me, videos are time I can better spend in other ways: connecting with students, yes, but not using video to do that. And I love blogging: that's the main tool I use for teaching my online classes, and the students and I all get to know each other by visiting each other's blog spaces all semester long.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't Michelle incredible???! She is one of my all-time online heroes! I am so glad she is so generous about sharing her work online so that she is able to help lots and lots of people on their instructor journeys.
Happy blogging!
I know this blog was created almost 4 years ago but I was wondering if you now consider yourself an expert in engaging with your students now? I would have hoped that many of the technical issues you mentioned in your blog have been resolved or are you still facing challenges.

ReplyDeleteI was in severe ribs and stomach pain at about this time last year. And I went to the hospital for treatment and was diagnosed for CHRONIC HEPATITIS B I was told it has no cure and i was so devastated because all hope seems to be lost, some drugs was given me to slowdown the viral load, and it got worse after sometime. I came across Dr. Iyabiye’s recommendation online while studying about the disease, and then I reach out to him just to try but I was taken by surprise. I got completely cured, all the pains were gone and I went back to the hospital for another test and I was tested negative to the disease. Here is the doctor’s contact if interested: iyabiyehealinghome@gmail.com (+234-815-857-7300)
