Abstract

Autonomous Lecture Capture in Undergraduate Aerodynamics: System Description, Demonstration, and Benefits for Traditional and Remote Instruction

Mark Nathaniel Callender

Introduction: The author has used a lecture capture system (Swivl) since the fall of 2015. It began as a State-funded technology review and was quickly adopted by the author for everyday use when the benefits became apparent. The author's original intent was to be able to provide aerodynamics lecture videos for at-risk student groups (i.e. members of the armed forces, single parents, student athletes, etc.) in addition to students who wanted to review lecture material. The videos have been used for these purposes in addition to allowing the author to attend conferences and continuing education classes without detriment to his classes. With all aerodynamics classes now being transitioned to remote delivery due to COVID-19, the repository of class lectures have become invaluable for allowing the author's classes to continue with little interruption. The author will describe the system, demonstrate its use, and will provide examples of its benefits.

Conclusion: Autonomous lecture capture in undergraduate aerodynamics classes provides benefits to students and professors especially as courses across the Nation have shifted to Remote or Online formats.
