2.Teaching Listening Skills:
Please observe the fact that on a virtual and individual lesson, the student, not the teacher, is in control of the mp3 file. The student decides how much and how many times to rewind… when to pause and speak…The teacher only gives feedback and makes the necessary corrections… This enables the student to follow his own pace…to manage his own learning experience.
3.Using Skype screensharing and Touchstone Arcade (Cambridge University Press)
Recording a Skype lesson is often a tricky thing. On this recording there were a few problems in terms of the synchronization between sound and image. Sometimes the sound comes before the image and you will get the impression that the teacher is dragging the answers on the screen before the student answers them. This was a problem in the recording only. There were no problems during the actual lesson.
Using the cursor :
The resolution given by skype screensharing is so outstanding that I can actually use my cursor to point at things on the screen during the lesson.
This is something, the software I used to record this lesson can not reproduce though.
