Using “D2L, the acronym for the university’s Desire2Learn online learning management system for students and faculty, Gamble and his team recorded interviews using a professional quality camera, lapel microphone, and portable lighting, then edited into shorter “intro” and “outro” videos for every unit of the course using Adobe Premiere Pro. We brought this to the online course by recording interviews with several content experts from industry and from faculty.” “My students love having guest lecturers make a special presentation in the classroom on a timely topic. “Our vision for the online course was to recreate the best aspects of an on-ground course in the online environment in D2L,” Gamble said. Keith Gamble’s online finance course shows Jackie Morgan of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta as she provides expert guidance on budgeting. Gamble said creating a high quality online course required a cross-departmental team that included Barbara Draude, former assistant vice president for Academic and Instructional Technologies the late Jan Pontia as instructional designer Bill Burgess as accessibility specialist Kourtney Smith as media specialist and Gamble as the content expert. But such use of technology has become a must as MTSU continues with remote learning through the summer semester.
The course, which helps students make smarter financial decisions throughout their lives, was previously taught on-campus only and didn’t incorporate the use of technology. MTSU finance professor Keith Gamble, chair of the Department of Economics and Finance, has embraced this move toward taking advantage of remote learning technology as evidenced by his new Finance 2010 Personal Financial Planning class, an all-online course that produced a 500% increase in enrolled students and was among courses nominated for the university’s Outstanding Achievement in Instructional Technology Award. As colleges and universities across the country continue to rely much more heavily on remote instruction because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, incorporating online teaching tools has become a must for instructors looking to provide a quality, engaging learning experience for their students.
