In an online class, there are numerous alternatives to lecture - the title of this posting is a hyperlink to a web page listed FIFTY alternatives to lecture. Many faculty find that they can move away from lecturing and toward constructivism - with an emphasis on reading and threaded discussions.
However, faculty may feel that some content still may be best delivered as a presentation. For such content, one can use:
Narrated PowerPoint Lectures - Impatica, Slideshare-Slidecast
Screen Capture - Jing
Audio - Podcast
Video - Flip video posted to YouTube, Logitech webcam
Students can also produce audio and video content - Examples of student-generated content - Max (video), Yuri (audio)
Live Sessions - Elluminate Live, Centra (Prof. Sarah Cordell example)
Prof. Lanny Arvan's thoughts on online presentations.
While discussing tools for synchronous audio and video - these tools also can be used for synchronous office hours - Elluminate VRoom (three for free), Skype, ooVoo
