- Title
ISSUES IN USING PERISCOPE FOR LIVE ACADEMIC LECTURES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
- Authors
AL-JARF, REIMA
- Abstract
The author used Periscope to broadcast live language, translation and technology lectures to her Twitter followers. The Periscope lecture analytics showed that lectures with the highest viewers, impressions and engagement were those about how to develop translation and interpreting skills and how to integrate Elluminate in teaching. Questionnaire-surveys indicated that followers found the Periscope lectures and their replays beneficial, interesting, enriching, invaluable and fulfilling their needs. As a lecturer, the author found the Periscope easy to use. She could go live anytime and anywhere. She did not have to register students. Replays can be accessed via Periscope or Twitter. However, reading comments and questions while live streaming was somewhat challenging. When lecturing via Periscope, the author could not hear viewers' voices or see their facial expressions as in Zoom. Engagement, interaction and communication among the viewers themselves, and the viewers and the instructor were very low. Recommendations for making Periscope lectures more interactive are given
