Scenarios and tools for recording microlectures

There are multiple channels through which teachers can distribute their microlectures to students. The easiest way for students is the one that is most familiar to them and easiest to use, and where no additional training, new user accounts, etc. are required. The choice, of course, depends on the course objectives, technical capabilities, and student needs, and these are the most common channels:

LMS systems (Moodle LMS, Canvas)

Microlectures can be easily placed within e-courses as a resource or link, giving students centralized access to all materials.

Video platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, Stream, Panopto)

These video sharing platforms allow for quick video uploads and sharing, and often offer additional features like private channels, subtitles, and viewership analytics.

Integrated learning tools

Tools like Edpuzzle allow teachers to embed questions and interactive elements within the video itself, increasing student engagement.

Mobile and communication applications (Teams, Zoom, WhatsApp, Telegram)

Microlectures can also be shared via communication channels, which is especially useful for quick access or reminders.

Institutional libraries and repositories

Colleges and universities often offer their own repositories or media services where microlectures can be stored for long-term availability and reuse.
