Why not video?

Video and streaming are linear time-dependent media that make it very difficult to skip ahead effectively, return to a previous section with ease, and to do rapid scanning. Printing is also impossible. Video and streaming promote passive learning that is not ideal. Text (and images) with embedded time stamps for audio (which the user may choose to ignore) and interactive components makes a more powerful learning experience.

Attacking RSA Web Lesson Instructions

  • Go through the web lesson notes while listening to the audio commentary.
  • Take thorough, complete, and good notes as you study the web lesson.
    • Taking notes is an effective memory-retention technique that improves learning.
  • Pause the web lesson audio when you want to perform a computation or some other task or when you want to look at an earlier section of the notes. Use the time stamps in the notes to match the audio with the section of the notes you are studying.

Working with Web Lesson Media

There are many ways of using the web lesson files, here are three different solutions:

  1. Open the notes PDF in one tab of a browser and open the audio in another tab. Switch to the audio tab when you want to pause or stop the audio. This method will not work on a phone.
  2. Open the notes PDF with one application and the audio with another. Switch to the audio application when you want to pause or stop the audio.
  3. Print out the notes PDF file (if you have a printer). Open the audio file using some program, and write your notes on the printed PDF.

    • A page containing only the video.
    • Make a ZIP file of the video lesson page containing the page, video, webvtt, and css files so that the captions may be used offline. The captions are not part of the video.

Transcript

00:00: Put transcript here. Make transcript from audio to text conversion, or make transcript before recording.

00:05: Captions are better. Put them in a WebVTT file and use the <track> tag.

00:10: Lesson text version for use by the blind (not the actual text version of this particular lesson).

  • Make source code available for accessibility by blind students.
  • Use comments for descriptions of graphics.
  • Use comments for descriptions of mathematics contained in the file.

Sample Lesson Instructions

Note: Alter as needed for pdf-audio or video lessons.

You may study a lesson online, or you can download it for offline use. The lesson's PDF files may be viewed using any PDF reader.

In order to learn the material covered in this course, students need to have good learning practices while working on a lesson. Scientific research into learning has shown that students who use certain "good" practices are more successful than students who don't use those practices. The following instructions are meant to encourage students to use good learning practices while working on a lesson.

  1. Read the text of the lesson carefully in a place without distractions.
    • Take thorough, complete, and good notes as you study the lesson.
      • Taking notes is an effective memory-retention technique that improves learning.
    • Make note of items you do not understand and go back over those items until you understand them. Ask for help on any items you are unable to understand yourself.
    • Do not use other electronic devices (except for a calculator) or visit other web sites when you are studying the lesson.
  2. Work through the homework problems referring to your notes and the lesson when necessary. Use the homework problem solutions only when you get completely stuck.
  3. Do not consider the lesson to be completed until you thoroughly understand it. If there is something about a lesson you do not understand, then obtain help by either visiting Dr. Randby in his office during his office hours, making an appointment to meet with him in his office and meeting with him during the appointment's time, visiting the online help room during Dr. Randby’s online office hours, making an appointment to meet with Dr. Randby in the online help room and meeting with him in the help room during the appointment’s time, or sending an email message to srandby@uakron.edu asking for help.
  4. Redo the homework problems before a quiz without referring to any other materials. It is best to do this more than once.
