From SFU Comp Sci, Diana has been using WordPress has her course delivery system for several years. Her courses,
- CMPT 120 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I
- CMPT 125 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II
- CMPT 150 Introduction to Computer Design
are not publicly accessible, but as part of her EMP development, she has shared the videos below that are used in her class. Since her courses are 1st year Introductions, her class sizes are very large, almost 400 students per course, over 2 sections so reaching them effectively requires some meticulous attention to detail. For the EdMedia Protege program, she wanted to expand her use of media, and create some videos that students could engage with beyond the formal class time. Her practice involves presenting her powerpoint slides, with blank spaces allowing her to live draw and annotate the slides during the lecture. This practice has led her to working at ease her table computer and stylus. The videos are essentially well rehersed segments of her lectures, going through a sequence of lessons, and include her voice over narration, and live note drawing. The results have been amazing and she continues to create these valuable resources, see the few sample videos below
