I am looking at moving my programming course online due to COVID-19. Any suggestions on a low cost touch enabled tablet for recording lecture sessions. I am looking at creating content like khan academy classes.
This has different context depending on what you mean... is it a drawing tablet or some sort of Android tablet?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have an even better suggestion: Put your computer in DoNotDisturb mode while streaming. No messages popup ever.
You can still leak sensitive or private information simply by switching to the wrong window during a live stream. There are examples of this happening on Twitch all the time, often requiring the streamer to change a Skype account ID or change their email address.

Anything that help me to draw figures and write equations on screen
Are there other solutions? Seems like something that Zoom should be able to do — you share your screen and video your face on a recorded session. Then afterward you can go back and choose which stream (face or screen) is used at any given point in time.
OP, I'd be curious to hear more how you structure your lessons for an online environment. This post mostly details how you [technically] teach online classes. For the many teachers who are now in a remote environment, what should they know about online learning vs traditional classroom learning?
NSTA teachers have been given some advice http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2020/03/teache... One tip was "Teachers are using the hashtag #virtualschool on Twitter to share resources." Other tips from https://www.edutopia.org/article/what-teachers-china-have-le... were -- Start by continuing to use lessons that are clear and simple, and don’t introduce new programs for teachers and students to learn if yo…
I had a similar experience to point (3) when an online course I did included being given other students' short computer programs to comment on and make suggestions about.

There are many online collaborative whiteboards. Those are the keywords you need to search for. I can't really recommend one since they all seem to have serious flaws. But for your use case, one might suffice.
Thanks for the keywords, that's what I was kind of lookin for. I appreciate your response.
This has a two way whiteboard system, and is also open source!

Then there are things you can do face-to-face that are really difficult remotely which you just have to avoid.
These include: - students doing anything long on their own - teaching interactive programs
These are related problems.
If students are going to do an exercise on their own, it needs to be small enough that it's possible for them to post the whole thing that they've done into the chat channel.
So it's nearly impossible to teach how to use an interactive program that has a lot of hidden screens. (e.g. teaching Qlik remotely is hard; Tableau tends to be easier because you can post a screenshot).
(If you want to teach those things, it's better to create a simulation for it e.g the kind of thing that e-learning authoring tools like Articulate does.)
So put together, you end up with short-ish theory session followed by a 30 second exercise, followed by another short-ish theory session, and so on until the end of the time.
If there is substantive work to be done (e.g. some mathematics practice work), that needs to be students submitting something into a LMS (learning management system), not something you do in a classroom. That kind of thing works for me because I've only got adult learners; I don't know how it would work for younger students.
Of course you follow all the guidelines from whoever is sponsoring the course, which often entails wrapping everything in a pre-defined sandwich of "this is what we did last lesson; this is what you will learn; this is what you just learned; this is what we will cover next lesson" -- if that's the kind of thing the sponsor wants to see.
This appears to be a sales post, with a bunch of affiliate links. Perhaps the actual products are good, but the credibility drops substantially as he has monetary incentive to list these things. edit: It seems like the post author is acting in good faith
The strangest part was the weird piping through Amazon Workspaces to not accidentally show your popups? This is a sector game streamers have already perfected, you only need OBS, and you want to only capture individual windows, preferably not your browser ever.
Those tools too can capture individual screens, but then how do you do a PowerPoint presentation when you only have one monitor?
My wife is a university professor and is being told she needs to record lectures going forward. I'm wondering how she can easily record a lecture video and then splice in powerpoint slides later. The best I can think is to record yourself on a computer, while flipping through slides on an iPad right next to your screen. Then afterward go through and take screenshots of the Powerpoint and insert them into the video (u…
Your best bet is to take the low-tech approach and distribute the slides seperately in pdf form.
