Video lecture demonstrations for an online class

In summary, video lecture demonstrations are an effective tool for online classes as they provide a visual and interactive way of presenting information to students. These demonstrations can cover a wide range of topics and can be accessed at any time, making them convenient for students to review and understand the material. They also allow for better engagement and retention of information as students can follow along and actively participate in the learning process. Additionally, video lecture demonstrations can be easily shared and accessed by students from different locations, making them a versatile and efficient method of teaching in an online setting.

I'm looking for a collection of physics video demonstrations (open sourced or licensed) for an online calculus-based class at the level of Halliday, Resnick, Walker textbook, covering EM waves, optics, special relativity, intro to quantum, and so on, basically the last third of the textbook.

I am aware of the resources such as MIT OCW and such, however, it's taking me too much time to compile videos available out there, reference them properly and so on, so I'm rather looking for a single resource where everything has been done, and there is a collection of standard demonstrations ready to be used in a lecture setting. I have considered the Ztek Physics videos collection (available at http://www.ztek.com/) with an appealing list of demonstrations at this level, however, it's a bit too old and way too expensive for me.

Thank you.

check out this You Tube channel called PhysicsDemos, our physics teacher used them while covering the material of Halliday, Resnik and Walker. Under Playlists you can find the demos for each chapter complied properly.

He also used demos from WalterLewins 8.01 and 8.02

Here is another set:

Demonstration videos (UCSB Physics Lecture Demonstrations)

Here is a small collection from the University of Maryland

Here is a list of their demonstrations (at UMD):

There is a classification scheme that was developed
called PIRA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_Instructional_Resource_Association ). It might make it easier to search for certain demos.
(I haven't found a comprehensive website for videos using this classification scheme.)

Some websites also try to include references to the literature.
I'll just provide URLs here:

FAQ: Video lecture demonstrations for an online class

What is a video lecture demonstration for an online class?

A video lecture demonstration is a form of online learning that involves using videos to teach academic material. It typically includes a combination of visual aids, such as slides or graphics, and a narrator or instructor explaining the content.

How is a video lecture demonstration different from a traditional lecture?

A video lecture demonstration differs from a traditional lecture in that it is pre-recorded and can be accessed at any time, allowing for more flexibility in learning. Additionally, it can incorporate more visual aids and interactive elements, making it more engaging for the student.

What are the benefits of using video lecture demonstrations for an online class?

The benefits of using video lecture demonstrations for an online class include increased accessibility, improved student engagement, and the ability to pause, rewind, and re-watch the material as needed. It also allows for self-paced learning and can accommodate different learning styles.

How can video lecture demonstrations be used effectively in an online class?

To use video lecture demonstrations effectively in an online class, it is important to keep the videos concise and focused on key concepts. Incorporating interactive elements, such as quizzes or discussions, can also enhance the learning experience. It is also important to regularly update and improve the videos based on student feedback.

What are some best practices for creating video lecture demonstrations?

Some best practices for creating video lecture demonstrations include using high-quality audio and video equipment, keeping the videos short and engaging, and providing clear instructions and objectives at the beginning of each video. It is also important to ensure that the content is accurate, visually appealing, and easy to follow.
