My Home Studio Setup and Useful Tips For Teaching Business School Students

[@wlfarrell]

Absolutely brilliant! As a video producer with a background teaching mathematics and physics I applaud you on your efforts to share your experience . Your research and application using existing Audio Visual technology with your teaching and communication skills sets a high, yet achievable, standard for many educators who need to adapt to online teaching. Bravo!!!

Your ideas are extremely valuable for better learning and teaching. Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts with us.

Great help to the profession! Teaching will no longer be the same! Many thanks to Andy!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

Andrew - nice to "see" you again, and great to get a tour of you rig.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the great video and for mentioning my channel as a resource. One of the members of my community just shared the video with me. It looks like you have a really professional setup and have clearly spent a lot of time researching and getting everything set up to deliver an amazing online teaching experience.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

WOW! Thanks so much for reaching out and watching my video, I'm honored!! And thank you for putting out such amazing content---I've learned a ton from you, and am continually amazed by the quality and quantity of your tutorials. Would never have been able to make a stinger without your help.

Fantastic studio setup, very useful to present online teaching

Hi Andrew - thank you for making this and your other videos. I really enjoy your speaking/lecturing style, and this is very well researched and informative content. Just want to show my appreciation and thanks :)

Andrew thank you so much for this detailed explanation. I am an academic from the UK and have (personally) invested in creating a studio at home for the same reasons as yours. It is similar to yours - Atem Mini Extreme Iso, Rodecaster Pro, I've got two cameras on teleprompters (no green screen yet but its on the pipeline), stream deck, just to name the main equipment. I hate what I call 'webcam teaching', which I wouldn't call real online teaching. Tomorrow I am recording a couple of videos pretty much along the same lines as this one, so this has been good inspiration. I also want to share my experience hoping to inspire others to move towards providing a better online experience. I've already inspired my faculty to build a couple of studios ao that staff can use them!

Thanks Andrew, extremely helpful! Great tips even if you have already taught virtually.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Thanks!

[@ronjonnag540]

A great checklist; will try and incorporate components step by step !

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Thanks!

[@franciscogalan8017]

AMAZING video! Thanks so much! All your advice will be incredibly helpful for my lectures

[@benyawarath]

Thank you so much! Very useful tips, even after the pandemic.

[@andrewwlo]

You're most welcome---thank you for watching!

Great lecture. I have recently set up a studio, probably about 85% the same as this for a lecturer friend of mine. We've had to make all the same mistakes and we don't have some of the bells and whistles you have. I'll see if i can get you a photo via Twitter. He lectures in Health Economics and we built a set of an old pharmacy. No green screen or doc camera as yet.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Thanks so much, I look forward to seeing your set; an old pharmacy sounds like the perfect background for Health Economics!

[@scrufy08]

Simply fantastic. Thanks Andy.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Very welcome!

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Thanks and you're welcome!

Alright I gotta get my stream setup to MIT livestream level

[@alvinbirdi6502]

Very interesting. Thanks for all these details and so well presented! My question is about Zoom which I have problems with when teaching with an Atem. The Atem produces video output which looks fine in Zoom as camera input. But I find Zoom drops the resolution so much that text on slides is blurry if students if watch in "speaker" mode. Using screenshare mode (by projecting the Atem output to a screen using OBS) causes text to be clear but the video of the speaker is very lagged because Zoom drops the frame rate in screenshare mode. Zoom has an option to "optimise for video" in screenshare mode but this has the same problem of low resolution albeit now with higher frame rates. Do you use screenshare mode for your Zoom teaching with the Atem?

Great video!

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Thank you!

[@philipdybvig4344]

Thanks Andrew! I'm happy to learn I am a dinosaur because now I can do something about it.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Welcome to my tar pit...

[@thomaswalther9477]

Dear Andrew, thank you for your inspiring videos! I am not sure if I missed it, but how do you set-up zoom? Are students asks to have active speaker mode? In gallery mode the slides would be super tiny otherwise. Thanks for your advise!

If you are looking for something simpler and cheaper, check out Julie Schiro's content: kzbin.info/door/f2Hzv6fRIVYFn5TnKdHlrQ. I bought the Uhuru mic she recommended (it was on sale for $54, although I see it is currently NA on Amazon) in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHyyqWeej7CghdU.

[@andrewwloproductions138]

Finally finished our "World of EdCraft" paper with Brian Stevens and Sean Willems that provides more details for our studio setups and how we use them for online synchronous teaching. Hope you find it useful: ssrn.com/abstract=3793342

The credits part of the video XD

[@Leeisateam]

Cool

[@andrewwloproductions138]

I came across a fantastic video by UCLA biologist and award-winning teacher Jay Phelan on a much simpler, less expensive, but very elegant setup for recording your own lectures to be used asynchronously: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ_ddnZ8brtgnpY. I still prefer my setup for teaching business students in synchronous sessions, but for many non-business-school faculty, his solution will be better.
