“Using Video to enhance the Project Communication Processes”Steve Fowler
Video is an extremely effective communication media and when properly crafted, projects to the intended audience a clear and concise message much more efficiently than via words or descriptions. Creating an effective video is a project requiring detailed planning, requirements collection, scheduling, team communications, storyboards, quality controls and much more familiar to the PM. Learn how you as a PM can use video to better communicate with your stakeholders and increase the project’s acceptance by end users.

Monday morning, the alarm goes off. Are you confident that your team members jump out of bed, ready to start the work week; or do they hit snooze, avoiding going to a job that does not excite them? If you suspect the latter, then you may have an issue with employee engagement.
You are not alone.
Increasing employee engagement is a top priority for most organizations. Disengaged employees cause productivity loss which hurts morale and your bottom line. Adopting an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) like Moodle or Totara helps you manage your team’s learning and reduces the time you spend creating and maintaining the learning program. Investing in employee learning and training creates a culture of growth, fuels energy and turns apathy into passion.
Register for this live webinar to learn more about:
- How incorporating learning & training reduces employee churn
- What an LMS can do to streamline and improve your training programs
- Which LMS features will increase employee engagement
- Top considerations when selecting an open-source LMS
How to Pitch a Software Development Initiative and Ignite Culture ChangeRed Gate Software
You’ve got a great idea for transforming software development or IT processes in your organization, but you’re not sure how to get buy-in from key stakeholders, or how to change your company culture.
In this session, Microsoft MVP Ike Ellis will draw on his experience as a consultant and leader in software development to give you real-world tips to define, shape, and share your pitch successfully. Whether you are launching a revolutionary new initiative or expanding an existing effort to improve your software development, Ike’s tips will help you create a plan to effect change in your teams.
With change being a key element of many successful businesses, Managers, Team Leaders and others can be required to run projects themselves, or to take a key role within a project – often with very little, or no training on Project Management tools and techniques.
Project Management skills can help ensure you reach you goals, on time, within budget and with no ‘surprises’! In this webinar we will take a practical look at:

Editor's Notes
The main focus for this week is: Beginning your literature review
Take a few minutes to jot down some ideas here.
Image source:
Body language keeps eye contact all the time, slowly scanning all of the audience; does not read notes or slides uses gestures smoothly, naturally to emphasize or illustrate points moves with purpose good, confident posture well presented, with appropriate clothing Speaking speaks clearly; at a good pace good volume and ; change of tone to maintain interest rarely uses filler words pronounces words correctly speaks in a style that is appropriate for the occasion adds variety to speaking style (lower or higher volume, change of pace, use of character voices) uses pauses for dramatic effect or to let ideas sink in
Source: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/quickrefs/20-editing-proofreading.xml Pronouns Do pronouns refer clearly to an antecedent? If you leave the book on the table, you can take it after the class. Does the it refer to the table or the book?
Source: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/quickrefs/20-editing-proofreading.xml Run-on sentences Have you divided run-on sentences into two by using either a full stop or a semi colon? Correct : We can see changes but not learning itself; the concept is theoretical and hence not directly observable.
Source: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/quickrefs/20-editing-proofreading.xml Parallel Structures Are components of your sentence grammatically equal?
Content & Organization Video shows a continuous progression of ideas and tells a complete, easily followed story. Well documented and organized Argument is sophisticated without generalizing. Facts and examples are skilfully used. Video Quality Professional appearance. Presentation captivates viewers. Video transitions smoothly from shot to shot showing good editing skills The audio is clear and effectively assists in communicating while background audio is not overpowering. Good lighting with all shots are clearly focused and well framed. Mechanics: Grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization are correct; sources are documented correctly and copyright law has been followed.
Content First read through your literature review thoroughly and write out a simple plan of what you understand are the major findings of your research. Think about how you can present this information so that it is relevant to your audience and where appropriate their everyday life. While the major aim of this video is to report your research, you also need to make the research relevant and accessible to a general audience – i.e.: they have to understand it. Success in this task requires that you remain aware of who your audience is and how to reach them. You also need to show how this is going to help you complete your project – this could be done within the video or just after it in your presentation The video could be in the style of a report on the evening news about a scientific breakthrough. Your video can include visual aids such as models, pictures, diagrams drawn on a white board or graphs and diagrams from the paper but they should be clearly explained for a non-scientific audience You may want to interview someone on camera and part of this interview can appear in your video. However, there should be no more than 30 seconds of someone other than you speaking on the video.
Technical Details Length: The video must be a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 3 minutes in length Video devices: Your video can be made on any one of the following recording devices: video camera, digital camera, webcam, phone camera. Quality: The quality should be sufficient to meet the standards for visual/audio presentation in the assessment criteria. Acceptable file formats include .mpeg, .avi, .wmv or .mov (not moviemaker project files). Publishing: Your completed video needs to be published to one of the online video sites: YouTube; Vimeo. Instructions for how to do this will be provided in Learnline for those who need help.
. Video Production Tips Make a few practice videos and practice editing the movies before you try to do your final one. Make sure you can be heard clearly on the video when you (or anyone else) is speaking. Choose interesting places to film the video. It doesn’t have to be just you on the screen while you are talking – you can have background shots that are relevant to your research context. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ASK PERMISSION BEFORE FILMING ANYWHERE WHERE PEOPLE COULD BE CAPTURED ON CAMERA. The final videos are not a public document – they will be shared with the project class but should be submitted via YouTube (or vimeo) in a protected way so that only those to whom you give the password can view the video. Have fun with it and be creative. Remember it takes a very good actor to create an INTERESTING & ENGAGING 3 minute ‘talking head’– so please refrain from this. Think about what works and what doesn’t work for you in video lectures and learn from it. This video can be used as part of your final project presentations in semester 2
4. Resources Cameras: If you do not have access to a camera/ video recording device, there are Flipcams available for short term loan from the School. Email the course coordinator for access to this equipment. You will need to complete an CDU equipment loan form as part of the process – these forms are available in Learnline. Editing: Some resource sheets and videos will be included in Learnline for editing with IMovie and Movie Maker. Another different type of movie /editing tool is Camtasia which some students may find is more appropriate for displaying their research. (A free trial version is available which should fit with the timeline of this assessment : see [http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html]
