For previous classes, I\u2019ve written out my lecture, added imaged and embedded video, and recorded my voice reading the lecture. I focus on themes that aren\u2019t in the book, possible interpretations, and telling stories. Here\u2019s one <a href=\"http:\/\/lisahistory.net\/hist106\/pw\/lectures\/8RefsandSciRev.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example from my History of Technology class<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But for my most recent class, I decided to make narrated slideshows and upload them, embedding the lecture (with captions possible, of course) in the Canvas page. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"History 110 Lecture 4: The American Revolution\" width=\"648\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l5Vgu3WKoeE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\" align=\"center\">\u00a0So, yeah, a lot of work. How do I know they\u2019re viewing it? In my older classes, I created quiz questions that couldn\u2019t be answered with reading or listening to the lecture. But I really was too lazy to do that.<\/div>\n<p>So instead I decided to have them submit \u201cLecture Notes\u201d in a Canvas quiz. Instructions:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Please submit this week&#8217;s\u00a0lecture notes here.\u00a0Notes should contain a paragraph about the main point of the lecture (its implied thesis), a full outline of the lecture, and a brief response (something you learned you didn&#8217;t know before, something you disagree with, something you found interesting).\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That \u201cbrief response\u201d has turned out to be a joy to read.
