Need

Exploit widespread and freely available PC resources for streaming video Think more about the pedagogic value and less about controlling the technologyDIY capture and production

non-specialist educatorscost and time are important barriers to overcome

fast forward to video streaming

Pedagogic Uses of Video

Talking head (lecture, presentation)Events (seminar, conference, workshop)Fly on the wall (group dynamic)Think aloud (video diary, interview)Instructional (procedure, demonstration)Simulation (role play, lab experiment)Realism (wildlife, a fashion show, dance)

Conceptual Framework

3I’s ConceptImage – visual quality and realismIntegration – linking to other media or conferencing toolsInteraction – provision of user control and access

www.clickandgovideo.ac.uk

Image

Focus on the Capture Stage Achieving the media (and message) quality required at an acceptable cost

Audio quality as important as video qualityCapture may be done for immediacy (raw video)

Preparation of Food

Link video with recipe and instructional information for practical cookery sessionsShort high quality close up video clips- providing a level of realism equivalent to a live demonstration

Fashion Marketing

ad hoc capture, fly-on-the-wallStudent video diaries, presentations

Integration

Focus on the Production StageBalancing the degree of creativity in the production with the time involved in completing it

Need for tools aimed at the non-technical userApproaches to Integrating Media

as part of video editinglink through web page designuse a semi automated capture procedureseparate out and synchronise (SMIL)

Interaction

Focus on the Delivery ProcessProviding a level of control that is in accordance with user access

Issues: delivering to remote, low bandwidth usersdealing with resource and technology managersnetwork infrastructure

www.clickandgovideo.ac.uk

Challenges and Opportunities

Move from video as a presentational tool to video as a focus for networked learningNeed to get beyond the early adoptersTurn educators (and learners) into producers not just consumersBuilding (and exchange of) learning objectsNeed for standards-based authoring tools that allow pedagogic thinking to be applied in production
