== How to create a One Minute Lecture ==
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, an 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.
*: That series of phrases will form the core of your microlecture.
* Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion.
*: They will provide context for your key concepts.
* Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera.
*: (Your information-technology department can provide advice and facilities.)
*: If you want to produce an audio-only lecture, no Webcam is necessary.
*: The finished product should be 60 seconds to three minutes long.
* Design an assignment to follow the lecture that will direct students to readings or activities that allow them to explore the key concepts.
*: Combined with a written assignment, that should allow students to learn the material.
* Upload the video and assignment to your course-management software.
