Transforming traditional classroom lectures into interactive digital media experiences

Digital media make it possible to spread lectures of the finest scholars over the internet. One barrier to the widespread availability of e-lectures, however, is the cost of production. This paper shows how we try to solve this problem by 1.) producing e-lectures on the fly in traditional classroom settings and 2.) turning the production process itself into a learning experience. Therefore we describe the current state of our project “knowledgebay” and reflect on the consequences of this approach with regard to the learning effect of the co-production of e-lectures for students.
