Design

• “The pedagogical challenge faced by teaching staff and practitioners is… to design meaningful learning events.”(Young & Asensio 2002)

Three i’s (Young & Asensio 2002)

• Interactivity – what do you expect students to do?

• Integration – what is the workflow?

• Image – what kind of video?

Video typesand practicals

What kind of video?

• ‘Talking head’• Cut-out animation (eg L Lefever)• Photo montage (eg Animoto)• Recording procedures

Storyboarding

Click icon to add picture

Divide a page in 6 or 9 sections, and sketch out how the story unfolds. Give a sense of how the various screen-shots and props are used and sequenced.

Talking heads… with props

• Your task? Storyboard this video retro-actively. Include different types of props and head-shots

Your worksheetThink of a specific learning outcome, topic or activity that would be enhanced by using video. Then assess the suitability of various video formats to support learning outcomes and student engagement. Think student production too!

Cut-out animations

• For the camera-shy

• Focus on objects rather than on speakers

Live video (eg Google+)

• Involve alumni or business people in the delivery of lectures by using live video links

• Some quite famous people use it!

Screencasting

• “a digital movie in which the setting is partly or wholly a computer screen, and in which audio narration describes the on-screen action” (Udell, 2005)
