So I gave my first skype lecture today for another blogger's class. It went fine, as far as I can tell, so I was thinking I can offer that for any reader of the blog who wants me to give a lecture in their class. I could probably do one to four a semester without it being much extra work for me. I would be glad to spread el evangelio según Lorca or según Mayhew.
It was good. There was only one weird thing about it: you were low in the visual frame, as in, your head was below the center of the picture.
ReplyDeleteWhen Clarissa gave her lecture, this did not happen. She is a veteran Skyper. I do not know what caused this, it must have to do with how the webcam was pointed. But, for a really fancy Skype lecture, you want go get yourself seen sitting at a desk. We could tell you were sitting at one and could see your bookshelves and out your window, but ideally you would have a piece of the desk at the bottom of the frame. :-)
Thanks. I'll look out for that next time. I can just tilt the computer screen. In my little window my face was perfectly centered so I don't quite understand it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys were looking at the screen where my face was rather than at the actual camera, so if felt like you weren't really looking at me.
I know, it was hard to face that webcam located away from the image. I want a longer cord.
