(Online) Lecturing with drawing boards

Pre-recorded lectures

Professional

To record lectures, teachers can use methods involving green screens and professional support of multi-media specialists, script-writers, camera men, light- and sound engineers etc. Of course, producing such video's will result in professional clips, but it comes at a cost and takes a lot of planning, time and effort to produce. Please consult AVC of the VU if you want to make such clips.

You could also opt for preparing all the mathematics writing on a prepared powerpoint slide. But this also takes time and effort and most mathematicians do not like that: doing the maths requires careful building up of notations, equations etc.

Adequate

A maybe less professional way of recording such video's is the one demonstrated by Theo de Haan who prepares his lectures concisely, but simply uses his own classroom and one camera operator and writes on the blackboard. The result however is very much to-the-point.

Weblecture

An often used approach to recorded lectures is to capture an actual lecture that is conducted in front of a group students. VU Amsterdam has multiple ways to support teachers in recording their lectures in this format. The result is reasonable, but it lacks the quality of the previous methods of pre-recording a lecture. Please again, consult AVC of the VU if you want to make such clips.

Simplified

A further simplified way of recording such lectures is by writing the maths on a Tablet such as an Apple iPad Pro or - a bit less sophisticated a Wacom tablet.

Finally (or firstly?), you could also set up your iPhone and record your explanations by simply writing on a piece of paper. See the story of Sophia de Jong.
