Section 3.1.1 "Filming High Quality Video Lectures" is especially good:
> After teaching courses on object-oriented software patterns and frameworks for two decades, it's become second nature to present lively and inspiring lectures despite minimal rehearsal and ad hoc slides. This haphazard model of preparation does not work in a MOOC since there are no students to interact with while filming the videos in the studio. As a result, we needed to produce much tighter scripts and highly structured lecture material.
