3. ABSTRACT
Introduction to Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics (MV3204) and Advanced X3D Graphics (MV4205) are a pair of
well-established courses with a custom textbook, an X3D example archive, annotated slide-sets, and the X3D-Edit
authoring tool. This case study reports on lessons learned from producing 62 sessions totaling over 37 hours of video instruction. Topics include how to prepare and present video sessions for each lesson, recording and production techniques, building a video website, and teaching to remote students while recording. Most importantly we show the feasibility and repeatability of recording classroom video sessions with minimal post-production requirements, thus reducing video-production labor costs significantly. We also demonstrate the ability to use open-standard and open-source NPS-produced software to create a satisfactory course website. This report summarizes the entire production software to create a satisfactory course website. This report summarizes the entire production process ranging from proper preparation of course materials to pre-production, classroom presentation, speaker recording, screen capture, digital production, and post-production of video sessions. Detailed workflow diagrams, production checklists, conclusions and recommendations for future work are also included
