FAQs

While it is normal to lecture for an hour at a time in a face-to-face class, an hour video is far too long for most students. The recommendation is to chunk your information into 7-12 minute segments so you do not overwhelm them and it is easier to find and rerecord information.

Because you are capturing a video that belongs to another person, this would actually be a form of copyright infringement. It would be better to link the video separately in your Canvas course to avoid this.

The amount of recorded lecture time required for an online class varies depending on the program.

• The Bachelor's for Professionals program requires a minimum of 10 hours of recorded lecture for an 11 week course.
• The School of Management MBA and EMBA program goes based on Carnegie hours (50 minutes), but does not have a required amount of time for recording. 

The recommended amount is one hour per week of class, but please reach out to one of our instructional designers for further clarification. You can find their contact information here: Contact Us.

You are not required to write a script for your recorded lectures, but you are strongly encouraged to do so. A script will keep you on track, prevent lengthy tangents, and excessive filler words (um's, uh's, ah's). Overall it provides a cleaner lecture for your students.

Here at CLU, we have several options available for recording on campus. There is VidGrid, which integrates with Canvas and Zoom Cloud Recording, which is available at the Digital Learning studio, but there are also several free softwares that are available online. There is also the new Lightboard to use for more text or math heavy lectures. Reach out to the Lecture Capture Specialist for recommendations! 

More often than not, this problem is caused by watching your videos in an internet browser other than Firefox. If watching in Firefox does not solve the problem, please reach out to the help desk at helpdesk@CalLutheran.edu.
