Editor's Notes
- So I’,m going to be introducing you to two newly released apps Periscope and Meerkat and discuss the possibilities and concerns of their application within teaching and learning. We are broadcasting live via Periscope to extend our audience beyond these four walls and thus incorporating social learning.
- Live broadcasting is not a new concept. News channels across the globe use this technology to bring their audiences into an event as it happens. Webcams have been around for a long time, either as clumsy bits of equipment perched on top of a PC or laptop or integrated within them and many digital media systems implemented by educational institutions already provide facilities to live stream to an audience.
- The research is already available as to the benefits of adopting video technologies within education. Video can effectively communicate complex information to a student and, if used creatively, is a powerfully expressive tool. There are an endless number of ways to exploit video in order to create motivating, memorable and inclusive learning experiences. The explosion of video content that is available online has provided us with the ability to gain knowledge in a visual medium 24/7, being able to listen to eminent professors from institutions around the world to viewing historical news clips and rare footage never seen before. Students today are often referred to as the “YouTube Generation”, as this particular platform has allowed all of us, and in particular our students, not only to become consumers of video but to become creators of it as well. In particular, this type of digital media contributes to the facilitation of a flipped or blended learning approach, by providing academics with the tools to record lectures, interviews, demonstrations, field trips and other educational activities and make them available to their students in order to support learning outside of class.
- This is what we traditionally think of being needed for live broadcasting. Facilities are limited by their location as they are often fixed pieces of equipment within certain parts of a University or College that are difficult to manoeuvre around due to their size etc. They are often quite expensive installations that require management and administration. But with the rise in ownership and use of mobile devices by staff and students, the ability to be “instantaneous” and capture moments “on the fly” are now possible. Add to this mix social media and you potentially have a new powerful tool for learning.
- There is now a live broadcasting war going on! And this is currently being dominated by two mobile apps. First to be released was Meerkat early in the year, which was then usurped by the release of Periscope only a month later! Both apps provide the opportunity to “teleport”, as Periscope like to put it us into another persons world. These apps allow broadcasting at a touch of a button, anytime, anywhere and share it with the world instantly. The basic principles of both apps are the same but there are a few differences.
- This infographic highlights some of the key comparisons but notably: Periscope is owned by Twitter and are leveraging this power by blocking certain features of Twitter to Meerkat users Update: they are both now available on iOS and Android Periscope has well established network of content creators, curators and consumers because of Twitter Periscope viewers can “like” videos similar to favourting on Instagram Periscope streams can be viewed again for up to 24 hours. Meerkat are instantaneous broadcasts. And they both allow for commenting
- As time as gone on the race has hotted up to dominate this marketplace has hotted up. A recent report from Adobe Systems seems to indicate that Periscope is winning this race. However, Meerkat responded by doing a deal with the Discovery Channel to stream their Shark Week broadcasts and have developed a new embed feature allow the stream to be added to any website. And even more recently David Beckham has invested in MyEye which is a UK company.
- A few examples are here, you could have watched a live tornado storm from the weather channel, Jeremy Hunt gave a speech on the NHS which was live broadcast allowing people to comment. It is graduation season and a number of Universities have used these apps to broadcast “backstage” footage. American Senator broadcast a live press conference and finally you could watch FC Barcelona’s training session. Might be useful for Sports Studies!
- So what are the possibilities for education of this type of technology. Well flip the classroom Provide out of hours support for students (particularly helpful for distance learners) Why not broadcast CPD sessions to share your institutions best practice or indeed share your students knowledge to celebrate their achievements. Broadcast live from a field trip Events on campus for non attendees Live Q&A with your audience-the live chat feature allows for a collaborative approach
- But we do need to consider pitfalls as well as the benefits to using these apps: The good: You don’t need fancy hardware or software, only a smartphone and an Internet connection. It just takes a few seconds to get up and running. It’s easy for anyone to interact with your broadcast. You can also create private streams (i.e. – broadcast to specific people) so that random strangers can’t join your classroom broadcast. You can also disable your specific “geolocation” when broadcasting
- The bad: Privacy and safety concerns about public broadcasts, asking students to create personal accounts, potential for inappropriate use, especially with young or less mature students. Teachers may want to avoid doing private 1-to-1 broadcasts with individual students. Overall, this is somewhat uncharted territory (the app was just released earlier today) so proceed with caution before you jump in. . If students start showing interest in doing their own broadcasts, this could be a perfect opportunity to teach students about the pitfalls of sharing too much personal information online, i.e. – teaching Digital Citizenship.
- Arnold Schwarzeneggar uses both Meerkat and Periscope!!!! But seriously the pitfalls that I have mentioned are only potential pitfalls and are not uncommon when using these types of channels and technologies and are well discussed, commented on and debated. It is more about being aware of these possibilities and ensuring that we all become responsible digital citizens and in particular our students
- So lets just take a look into one of these apps. So this is Periscope, which is the Twitter owned product. When you launch the app you will need to link it to your Twitter account. So the first screen is an archive of what has been broadcast by those you are following. The second screen shows you a global map of where live broadcasting is currently taking place, which you can then join
- Just jumping to the last button. This is your profile showing you who are following you etc and the number of broadcasts you have made. Within the settings button you can then enable the option to autosave the broadcast into your camera role. This however, does not save the commenting with the movie at the moment. In addition, this is then where you also add those twitter users who you are following to enable them to view your broadcasts.
- The next button is to begin your live broadcast. You will need to enable your smartphone camera and microphone and if wanted you can enable your location so that your audience know where you are broadcasting from. Once these are all set then you can start a broadcast having first given it a title. If the twitter logo is enabled then a tweet is automatically sent out once you hit start broadcasting. You can also make is a private broadcast to an invited audience and allow only users that follow you or everyone on twitter to chat. One the broadcast is happening you will see how many people are viewing it and the chat will appear over the top. Simples!
- So over to you as members of the educational community. And my question to you and to our audience live on Periscope? What type of things would you use these apps for? Can you see a place for this as part of the teaching and learning process? These are very new applications and we are only just seeing the potential. I don’t profess to have the answer to this per se and I am equally learning as to how they can be best used in an educational context and evidence of this is slowly feeding through. So let’s start that discussion
- Promoting is important to get the best audience attending. Send out regular tweets leading up to your broadcast. Keep it short and sweet. Peoples concentration can be limited particularly on mobile devices. However, the ability to record instantaneously and on the fly may negate this for certain things. Sell your broadcast to get the biggest audience. Make the title interesting. As these apps rely on social media connections then follow as many people as possible in your sphere of work to get that better opportunity to collaborate with other experts etc
- Share the apps with your colleagues to spread the word But also experiment. Some things will work well and others may not but at least you gave it a go. And remember it is real and in the moment so be aware of where you are, what you are saying etc. And accept that problems may happen. This is not BBC or Sky broadcasting.
- Live broadcasting is just one element of digital media as part of teaching and learning. We have recently released our new infokit on Using Digital Media in New learning Models (flipped and blended learning) and this can be found on the Jisc Digital Media website. The infokit provides guidance on best approaches in using digital media as part of new learning models in particular as part of a flipped or blended learning approach and it offers best practice in delivery methods, sourcing, creating and more importantly using digital media to enhance teaching and learning and highlighting the pedagogical benefits
- So that is the end of my presentation and the end of my broadcast. I would like to thank you for listening both the audience here and the one online. I can be contacted via the details on the slide and I would very much like to continue the discussion that we have begun today on using Periscope and Meerkat in teaching and learning so that we can make the best use of these new technologies to enhance the student experience.
