Despite the technological  and pedagogical challenges, the video syllabus has been a worthwhile project. Not  only did it teach me several new skills that I can use for a variety of  teaching-related and other professional activities, it has also raised the  quality of my teaching. As a final note, I can’t help mentioning that creating  a syllabus which is based on moving images  and not on text--something that is measurable by page or word number--eliminated  the “length issue,” since nobody could tell how long the document/file is.  |
