Online Broadcasting and Video Recording of Classes as An Effective Tool for Organizing E-Learning

Abstract

Relevance. Online broadcasting and video recording of classes as a method of organizing e-learning and transferring knowledge using distance learning technologies today are of increasing interest to students and lecturers. However, most researchers distinguish the high labor intensity and the presence of additional skills on the part of the lecturer as a prerequisite for the implementation of a successful video lecture. At the same time, lecturers continue to conduct traditional classes in the “pre-pandemic” mode and the placement of additional material in the electronic information-educational environment (EIEE) for students on an individual schedule continues. Often, for remote participants in the educational process, an individual educational trajectory of learning is developed and the load on the lecturer increases, who is forced to use different methods and forms of education to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students. As an alternative for optimization, the authors propose the introduction of online broadcasting of classes as the most effective method and form of online learning.The purpose of the study is to develop a balanced model for the use of online broadcasting and video recording of classes in the organization of e-learning with the possibility of fixing the progress of the educational process and controlling knowledge.Materials and methods. Using a keyword search in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) system, the authors found that researchers do not use the concept of “Online broadcasting of classes”. However, the analysis of publication activity in the RSCI system for 2017-2021 showed a positive trend in the use of the terms “Online lesson”, “Synchronous learning”, which are the closest in meaning to the concept of “Online broadcast of classes”. The publication proposes criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the use of online broadcasting of classes in the organization of training at a university. As an example of the implementation of a solution for organizing online broadcasting, recording classes, the system “Information Resource Center” used in the Volga State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism was described and compared with the proposed performance criteria.Results. As a result of the analysis, it was found that this type of systems (online broadcast systems) do not provide for the possibility of fixing the assimilation of the material and do not allow to fully fix the progress of the educational process and control knowledge when organizing e-learning.Conclusions. The authors propose the integration of online broadcast systems with the e-learning system as a working model for the use of online broadcast and video recording of classes in the organization of e-learning, which will satisfy all the criteria established in the study. The model designed in the course of the study is universal and can be used applying any methodological techniques, including the use of the “flipped class” model, when material for preliminary acquaintance is placed in advance of the lesson, and it is analyzed during the lesson itself.
