Now that most mobile devices and quicker download speeds can handle streaming video, the possibilities to support learning are more of a reality. In this session you’ll pick up lots of hints and tips for recording your own video resources and using video with learners.
2. Video is not a new idea
“Books will soon be obsolete in the public schools. Scholars will
be instructed through the eye. It is possible to teach every branch
of human knowledge with the motion picture. “
Thomas Edison, 1913
Einstein’s theory of relativity (1923)

The 180 Rule

maintain the same left/right
relationship to each other.
On a more basic level the camera
should remain on the same of the
action

25. Simple rules and conventions
Learn shot types
The framing of a shot helps the narrative
power. Familiarise yourself with different shot
type choose the one which would be suit your
purpose

26. Simple rules and conventions
Steady the camera
The camera doesn’t have to be on a tripod but
don’t move your camera too much. Carefully
consider your use of zooms, pans and tilts, use
them to emphasis something.

Editor's Notes
What we hope to cover
In 1913 Thomas Edison said. ……..Yet today we’re only just grasping the use of video (or the motion picture). Why is that?Well if you look the options available to share information, instruction or a great idea with a student you had to write. That was the communication technology that was available, (it might have been different version of the technology, e-mail, website or print) but if we look at in it’s most basic form of print, we all know how the print revolution changed the world and how it allow that communication to scale. Now that most mobile devices and quicker download speeds can handle streaming video, the possibilities for using video to support learning are more of a reality. Web video has allowed a more powerful form of video to scale. A lot of human communication is non-verbal, when you watch a video you see things and pick up on things that cannot be conveyed by text alone.
You must stimulate, motivate educate and choose the perspective that serves your goals.
We will look at Jack Koumi’sframwork for producing educational videos. The framework was grounded in the BBC’s experiences of producing and evaluating videos for the open university. A full in depth description of the framework available in Designing Video and Multimedia for Open and Flexible Learning. I have tried to summaries and give some key points.This framework is not intended as a prescription. The framework is meant to be used flexibly rather than as recipe and there is no need to use all techniques mentioned in this summary or full guide.Talk through the key points on screen

Highlight some of the free tools out there that can be used for capturing and editing
These are great for revision or accessing when it is not possible to attend in person, the lecture is available 24/7. However, all you’ve got at the end of the day is a lecture, a passive form of learning. But that can’t take away how easy simple it is to capture a lecture.Preparation – Let the performer know exactly what you will do. Will you use a mix of video to slide, PIP or just slides and audio. Show them a past example if possible.Production – With this one there’s very little to do the quality relies on the performer.Post Production – Consider only making key part available, add value in the form of on screen prompts, questions at key points or if time permits add animation.
The type of teaching used by the Khan Academy – info about the Khan Academy.Allows the user to teach in greater or better detail. User learns by example and can move at their own pace. If you’re going to get involved in producing them here’s what to consider.Preparation – Make sure you know exactly what you’re gonna do, know every step, and have an instruction set or script to follow, and, before you get started know what your own voice sounds like, decide if you need to speak clearer, pronounce certain words differently etc (just be comfortable with you).Production – When you’re recording make sure you’ve closed all unnecessary programs. There’s nothing worse than an e-mail alert popping up and ruining your video, just as you’re right at the end. You can rerecord if necessary (maybe you’re in a noisy environment) but record with what we call a “scratch track” it’ll allow you to get an idea of clarity and intonation. Set your screen or window to a suitable size or resolution. Don’t record a large window if the information can be displayed in a smaller one.Post – To keep the user interested you should pose question throughout, pause for questions or link the information provided in the video to another resource.

Leave space on one side, have the person looking off camera, almost into the space, and create some interest in the background but watch out for interfering objects. Creates a feeling of conversation.
These are very common on video sharing sites such as youtube and videojug. They can convey complex instructions very easily. Take the example of Origami, I’ve tried to follow instructions on paper (maybe find example), but a video can convey that information much clearer.Preparation - Determine the purpose this will inform your style or visual and narration. Production - Often it’s best to record your audio later as this will allow you to edit the sequence down and remove the wait for any long processes. However, get your narrator to talk through the process even if it’s just in discussion with you. This will help to write a script, and inform your edit. Shooting a wide or medium shot will allow people see the bigger picture or whole context and the close-ups will provide detailed information.Post – Don’t just repeat what is happening on screen add value.
Develops greater involvement in the issue. can be involving, both in emotional and cognitive ways, they can also be used to help people understand others, and the positions of others.Prep
