Abstract

This paper describes low-cost techniques used to collect video data in two different tutorial classrooms - one in which the recording equipment is permanently installed and one in which it is temporary. The author explains what to do before, during, and after class in these two situations, providing general strategies and technical advice for researchers interested in videotaping tutorials or similar classrooms.
