Abstract
This paper summarizes the initial results of an experience with the usage of video exercises in order to provide learners with supplementary online multimedia material created by the teachers. The video exercises depict the statement and the resolution process of a single problem, being solved by the teacher in a sort of digital whiteboard. These learning objects thus turn into educational pills that can be reused by the teacher in different scenarios such as distance learning, out-of-class material, office hours, etc. This experience has been performed in subjects related to computer science and telecommunications engineering during the 2010/2011 academic course. The paper describes the methodology and process from recording the problem-solving videos to their online delivery. This approach required the combination of different technologies such as a graphics tablet, sketching software, screencasting, video transcodification and closed captioning, among others. These efforts resulted in a pool of online accessible video exercises that can be employed for the students to gain the appropriate skills in order to solve other related problems. In addition, the ubiquity of Internet enables these new materials to outreach potential learners from outside the university.
