Bill discusses student reactions, their use of the recordings, and their attendance at live lectures. He also discusses how having the recordings enables him to change what is done in the classroom. He discusses his plans to use the recorded material for mini courses, to deliver the course remotely at the Southampton campus, link back to material from follow on courses, and develop a video FAQ for the course. The use of recordings to teach the course without the faculty member and intellectual property rights are addressed. Bill is joined by Anthony Bozzanca, a computer support technician in TLT. Anthony covers the technical details of the system and what is needed to get faculty started.
