1. Using Video
in LTA
Florence Dujardin
4 December 2013

2. Overview
• Design considerations
– Three i’s
– Continuum of control
• Practical skills
– Types of video: beyond the talking head
– Storyboarding
– Managing YouTube videos

3. Frameworks

4. Design
Decide what
(sections) to
use
• “The pedagogical
challenge faced by
teaching staff and
practitioners is… to
design meaningful
learning events.”
(Young & Asensio 2002)
Organise
resources
Review with
learners in
mind
Integrate with
learning tasks

5. Three i’s (Young & Asensio 2002)
• Image – what
kind of video?
• Interactivity –
what do you
expect students
to do?
• Integration –
what is the
workflow?

6. Interactivity & workflow
Pre-viewing
Viewing
Post-viewing
• What to show?
For how long?
• Prepare students
• Focus attention
• In-class? Or offsite?
• Keep students
active – eg grid
or note-taking
• Discuss
• Assess (quizz)?
• Annotate?
• e-Portfolio
evidence?

7. Continuum of control
Instructivist pedagogy
– in classrooms
Constructivist pedagogy
– over networks
illustrate
pause/replay
demonstrate
use anywhere
Tutor control
Flipped classroom
add value
create
annotate
Learner control –
student as producer

8. Smartphones give you (and your students)
wings for video production

9. Video types
and practicals

10. What kind of video?
•
•
•
•
‘Talking head’
Cut-out animation (eg L Lefever)
Photo montage (eg Animoto)
Recording procedures
– drawing a diagram
– dissecting
• Screencast (software demo)
– SPSS
– Social bookmarking
• Live meeting (eg Google hangout)

11. Talking heads
Do you really want to?

12. Storyboarding
Divide a page in 6 or 9 sections, and sketch out how the story unfolds.
Give a sense of how the various screen-shots and props are used and
sequenced.

13. Talking heads… with props
• Your task?
Storyboard this
video retroactively. Include
different types of
props and headshots

14. Your worksheet
Think of a specific learning outcome, topic or activity that would be
enhanced by using video. Then assess the suitability of various video
formats to support learning outcomes and student engagement. Think
student production too!

15. Visualizers

16. Cut-out animations
• For the
camera-shy
• Focus on
objects
rather than
on speakers

17. Photo-montage (Animoto)

18. Live video (eg Google+)
• Involve alumni or
business people
in the delivery of
lectures by using
live video links
• Some quite
famous people
use it!

19. Screencasting
• “a digital movie in
which the setting is
partly or wholly a
computer screen,
and in which audio
narration describes
the on-screen
action” (Udell,
2005)
