The pandemic of COVID-19 has drastically changed the education program in universities. An on-demand lecture is one of the common approaches, which are employed to prevent the infection form spreading in the classroom. On-demand lectures generally have a good reception of the students for the reason that they could repeatedly play back the video when needed and attend the class in a relaxed attitude as they like. On the other hand, we often have some concerns about their understanding of the lecture because we could not get enough feedback during the preparation of the video lectures. In addition, majority of us, beginners of on-demand lectures, have to overcome the difficulties in utilizing various tools to support them. Here, I would like to introduce some tips of on-demand lectures. One, who delivers a chalk talk, should obtain a good pen tablet and a suitable video recording software. Because video lectures with a large data size interrupt the comfortable views of the students, the video files should be compressed using a special software. Approachable Q&A systems should greatly enhance the learning efficiency and open the door to the flip teaching. Blended learning, in which face-to-face learning is combined with video lectures to enhance the understanding, has recently attracted more attention in the field of education. The pandemic of COVID-19 might bring a good opportunity to brush up and improve our classes.
新冠疫情极大地改变了大学的教育模式。按需授课是常用的方法之一，用于防止感染在课堂上传播。按需授课通常受到学生的好评，因为他们可以在需要时反复回放视频，并以自己喜欢的轻松态度上课。另一方面，我们常常担心他们对课程的理解，因为在准备视频课程时我们无法获得足够的反馈。此外，我们大多数按需授课的新手必须克服使用各种工具来辅助授课的困难。在此，我想介绍一些按需授课的技巧。其一，进行板书讲解的人应该配备一块好用的数位板和合适的录像软件。由于大数据量的视频课程会干扰学生的观看体验，所以应该使用专门软件对视频文件进行压缩。便捷的问答系统应能大大提高学习效率，并为翻转教学打开大门。将面对面学习与视频课程相结合以增强理解的混合式学习，最近在教育领域受到了更多关注。新冠疫情可能会带来一个改进和提升我们课程的好机会。
