Hybrid Physics Course Using Video and Supplemental Instruction

This is a new means for lecture capture that utilizes a glass screen that acts as a transparent whiteboard. The instructor writes on the screen, and a camera on the opposite side records the video. The instructor is now facing the camera. Students viewing the video are able to observe the nuances of problem solving as their professor teaches physics principles while facing them. And the instructor is not required to write backwards! The writing becomes forward with a simple horizontal flip of the image (done in software or with a mirror, like Ambulance in your rear-view mirror).
