"Augmented Lecturing": An Immersive Pedagogical Method for the 21st Century

“Augmented Lecturing” functions through interspersing of conventional speech with relatively brief audio-visual excerpts. In Augmented Lecturing, any material extraneous to the instructor’s specific didactic point is removed from video and audio excerpts through an editing application (e.g., iMovie) and those excerpts are embedded within the presentation program (e.g., Keynote), eliminating any pause in the shift between verbal and audio-visual modalities. There is a constant forward momentum and contextualization of information within a more comprehensive scaffolding.
