Many of my students and others have view my video reviews. These initial videos are not designed yet to be a suppliment to the course's lectures. They are now simply reviews of the material to be covered and may serve to give the students a "heads-up" to what's expected in the coming chapters.
I am working on a rich media project here on Xavier's campus which is divided into two stages. I'm introducing the video media this semester and will work next semester to make more detailed and frequent content available to students with the help of our media center. A CD or DVD may result from this effort.
I have surveyed the students in my class initially and will survey again at the end of the semester to assess any improvements in comprehension and interest in biochemistry, research and teaching. I have done this survey for several semesters since beginning in LCSAA and will try to aggregate any change in student comprehension of course material and this teacher presentations over this time period.

Dr. Carroll while in undergrad. I was required to take biology. I was intimidated by the word "biology" and therefore was intimidated by the material. I failed the first exam BIG TIME. My professor created a CD tutorial that went along with each in-class lecture. I managed to complete Bio 103 with a B and Bio 104 with an A. I felt really good about this. However had it not been for her innovation (i.e. creating the CD) I might not have passed the course.
I think making your lectures available online is excellent. I was wondering “how are your students responding.” Are they utilizing the online support? If so, have you seen any improvements in the students’ abilities, mastery, and/or comprehension of the material?
Also to other Fellows, what approaches are you all utilizing to support students who may be struggling or who desire additional support?
