Course Video Introductions

July 26, 2010 in Courses with 0 Comments

I’m trying something new and ambitious this semester for my classes at SEBTS.  I am going to intro each week’s lectures with a video that I will make available at my Youtube channel.  If you are one of my students, you’ll need to check there each Monday for an introduction to the week.  Then, in class you will have a quiz that will be from the video.  There may be some weeks I can’t keep up, but we’ll give it a shot.  Be sure to let me know if the “preview of coming attractions” is helpful once the semester start.  Because some of the material might be of interest to other readers besides students, I’ll announce each week’s video post on twitter, but will not put it here.  So, if you want a reminder about the videos, join me on Twitter or subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Just for kicks, I’ll post the first video here.
