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

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)
www.clickandgovideo.ac.uk
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
