bones Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi there, Just curious: Which med schools in Canada make either audio podcasts and/or video podcasts of lectures? For example, at the U of A, they are starting to stream the audio and powerpoint of lectures, so that students who miss the class or who want to go back and check something from a past lecture can do so. I know they do this at the U of C as well. Any other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerroger Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 All lectures are podcast at UofT. It appears to be pretty much automated and the prof just lectures away and it is always recorded. I think the ppt slides are also recorded simultaneously with the lecture. So any little diagrams or scribbles which the prof does is preserved. I haven't used the podcast thing yet... But it has only been two weeks. However, talking to the class ahead of us they seem to enjoy it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Ottawa does some podcasts, but not for all lectures. Many are student-made, on specific topics that posed problems or that students particularily wanted to review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochi1543 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Can students at other med schools access these online lectures? For U of A, you have to have a current med ID/log-in to access them. They are pretty particular about us not sharing their lectures with people outside of med, and I understand where they are coming from. On rare occasions, profs will not even allow their lectures to be podcasted - I can recall one guy who did some groundbreaking research not podcasting his lecture, then like a month later he was in the paper with that stuff. They are just protecting their intellectual property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webshy Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 So what if this student does not come to the class for some reason? what happens then? Those who podcast believe it is their responsibility to be in class. As such, them not showing up on a day when they are to record a lecture isn't an issue.

Elaine Same at western - the system is intended to allow you to make up a lecture you missed, as well as let you review ones It is getting to the point where in Ontario you have to start asking which schools don't have a podcast system rather than which ones do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubcredfox Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 UBC does not have podcasts/webcasts of any shape or form, and never will. The reason behind this is because the prof's/faculty have decided that their lectures are so damn good (and copyrightable) that they are unwilling to let UBC host/post them anywhere. I wish they had had some sort of video that I could watch at home...that way I could fast forward through that inane dribble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably only present for 50% of the live lectures. Having stuff recorded allows one have a flexible schedule during pre-clerkship. This way you can arrange extracurricular observerships, research, conferences etc. It really enhances what is possible during your pre-clerk education. You guys should push for a faculty run protected system where your class can listen to recorded lectures. Otherwise you guys may soon be living in the dark-ages of pre-clerkship lecture delivery.

We have an entirely student run podcast system - I happen to be the web master. We just ask each instructor individual if they wouldn't mind letting us record the lecture and I process and move the lectures the secure server that I created. This lets us by-pass a lot the normal limitations. Also you can watch podcasts faster than normal - second time around going at 1.3 speed or so it quite possible - that saves a lot of time overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find it odd that a prof, who is paid to prepare/deliver lectures, believes they own the results of that effort. Any other part of the world if your boss pays you to create a lecture/presentation then the company then owns the product of the labour they are paying for.

Are you dealing with all of the courses, or just the 1st year courses for the 2013 class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you dealing with all of the courses, or just the 1st year courses for the 2013 class? well so far I am doing all the podcasts for the 2013 and 2012 class, so that is all of preclerkship. i am also doing clinical skills videos for all years this summer (or as least directing the project). I will be doing the 2014 next year for those incoming students I guess I do get around a bit techwise but I am the class IT rep so that isn't too suprising. I am also rewriting the schulich admissions website, and a research programmer for the robarts research institute for three separate groups. Always fun!

CdnatWayne Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thought, I'd chime in my perspective. I'm a first year student at Wayne State in Detroit. The school records all lectures for us, there are 2 lecture halls (one for 1st years and the other for 2nd years). Wayne has hired full-time staff to record lectures for us, each of the two lecture halls is equipped with 4-5 cameras (at differing angles and locations throughout the lecture hall) and the staff sit in a booth at the back of the lecture and record the lecture (audio/video) including adjusting cameras if the professors are using props/white board to illustrate something. I find going to class a huge waste of time and stream the lecture at 2x as do a lot of my classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
