5. Potential uses of VideoNotes
• I believe this tool can be used in my ways in university courses, because
in many disciplines videos are already used as didactic materials.
• In disciplines specifically aimed at teaching foreign languages, videos
are a very common didactic resource in the learning process.
• Students could use this tool, for example, to make notes about the
words and expressions they did not understand.
• Later on, these notes could be brought to the teacher´s attention.
• And a discussion could follow in class to make those words and
expressions clear to all the students.
• The notes are time-stamped, so it is possible to directly see the scenes
in which these words and expressions are used.
