Microlectures and Lightboard

What is a microlecture and how can it impact learning?

Microlectures are intentionally short (less than 10 minutes) and specific lectures on a single topic or skill.
They are best used for fundamental concepts/skills and challenging topics in the course.
Microlectures can benefit your students by providing essential content within the window when their attention is strongest. Evidence suggests that as more time is spent viewing a video, there is a measurable decrease in active attention being paid to that video (Guo et. al, 2014).

Using Clemson Online Lightboard to make Microlectures

Lightboard allows you to create a visually engaging video where you can use a dry-erase board while still facing your students.
Creating a simulated face-to-face presence in your online course can help learners maintain their attention (Ravensbergen et. al, 2018).
The Clemson Online Video Production team produces your content from start to finish. Learn more here.
Schedule a meeting with Dallas Lenderman, Video Production Manager, be email: dlender@clemson.edu
