Perhaps the most important issue is the extent to which you
have control over what you do. There is a creative spark in
each of us, and if it finds no outlet, we feel half-dead.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Investment in digital skills Our students need more than their degree; our staff need CPD
  • #8 We decided upon Kaltura because: It could handle our student use cases, in particular media assignments in the VLEs It gave us flexibility for future lecture capture integrations It could handle our requirements around open licensing We also loved CaptureSpace – will meet a lot of needs around recording to screen. For many of our users it’s just as much as they need and it’s very simple to use. Ta da! Media Hopper! Media Hopper – what’s the name about? Grace Hopper – pioneer of computing science – coined the term debugging Hopper – agricultural meaning – a big container of stuff Hopper – Minecraft – connector -
  • #14 Also interesting working critically with media more – using clipping as a reflective practice Annotation; tools for making are still a weakness too.
