I don't go video, but I do use VoiceThreads. I teach online and my courses have a synchronous and asynchronous option. The synchronous students meet with me in a live, online environment. The asynchronous use our Moodle. Those VoiceThreads help those students 'in the middle' that are doing the synchronous option when they need to miss a class, found themselves distracted during the live presentation, or want to review before a test.

I hold open office hours about 5 hours per week in which any of my students can drop in for live help if they need it.<br />

I think having a recorded version and letting students have options as to pace is a great way to go.
