How Does The ELT Conducted

Due To The Use Of

Technology?
Tools and Technologies for Class Activities
• Instructional Video Creation Software
We began flipping part of our classroom using software to record our lectures. Instructors can use
this type of software to record their screen when explaining a topic for an out-of-class assignment.
A summary chart with links for all software in the chapter is presented below in Tables 6.1.
Tools and Technologies for Class Activities
• Interactive Video Creation Software
Instructors can use online tools to create interactive videos to improve student
accountability and feedback. Erik started using Playposit for pronunciation lessons
for the Advanced Listening & Speaking course. Our university has a site license for
Playposit, which makes it easier to integrate into our learning management
software.
Another option for interactive video is EdPuzzle. EdPuzzle (free) allows users to
insert comprehension questions (e.g., fill-in-the blanks), audio, and images within
videos and provide feedback to students on their progress.
In addition to adding original videos, instructors can annotate video from third-
party sources such as TED Talks, Kahn Academy, EdPuzzle, and more.
Tools and Technologies for Class Activities
• Lesson Delivery Software
Using lesson delivery software, instructors can deliver links to video and audio
assignments, share online documents, and create quizzes. We are able to post our
instructional materials and lessons in Blackboard.
Universities usually have selected a LMSsuch as Blackboard, Canvas, orMoodle.
However, if the LMSyour school has selected does not have features you need or
want, you could try Google Classroom (free) Classflow (free), or Verso ($$).
