== How to create a One Minute Lecture ==
<blockquote>
Professors spend a lot of time crafting hourlong lectures. The prospect of boiling them down to 60 seconds — or even five minutes — may seem daunting. David Penrose, a independent course designer who developed San Juan College's microlectures, suggests that it can be done in five steps:
* List the key concepts you are trying to convey in the 60-minute lecture.<br>
*: That series of phrases will form the core of your microlecture.<br>
* Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion.<br>
<br>
*: They will provide context for your key concepts.<br>
* Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion.<br>
* Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera. <br>
They will provide context for your key concepts.<br>
*: (Your information-technology department can provide advice and facilities.)<br>
<br>
*: If you want to produce an audio-only lecture, no Webcam is necessary.<br>
* Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera. <br>
*: The finished product should be 60 seconds to three minutes long.<br>
(Your information-technology department can provide advice and facilities.)<br>
* Design an assignment to follow the lecture that will direct students to readings or activities that allow them to explore the key concepts. <br>
