Why Video for Education?
• Video surpasses the written word
• Seeing and hearing is better than reading or hearing and reading
• Video stimulates emotionally
• Information is conveyed more successfully by demonstrating
• Video is a compact, concise media
• Video is attractive (for GenerationX, Y, Z…)
Video ProductionLet’s make a complex process simple
1. A familiar, engaging and learnful subject
2. Prepare an outline or “script”
3. Carry out research, collect the essential information
4. Record the material (images, screens, sound, graphics…)
5. Edit the video
6. Publish the video
Subject
Two main types
• An event organised by others or somewhat out of your control over time and location
• football game, theatre play, live lesson
• a touristic video
• a vox populi
• An event under your control
• demonstration, fiction, presentation, animation, interviews
Good preparation
• Scenario (storyboard) or planning
• Location scouting
• Find/meet actors or experts, accessories ...
• Rehearse and practise
Scenario/storyboard
• See the film in your mind (role of video and of audio)
• Put the film on paper
• script, scenario, storyboard...
• Why is it important?
• Foresee: (4C)
• control during the recording (and editing!)
• content
• continuity
• cost
• Execute the recording (but don’t forget to prepare it!)
What do you need?
• Camera:
• DV (or best affordable) www.whatcamera.com / Video magazine
• web cam?
• Screen cam
• Photocamera…
• Tripod for video recording: safety first
Possibly also
• Additional microphone, headphones
• Additional batteries
• Lights
Good images
• Enough light and good light
• no dark, grainy images
• Use tripod
• jerky images make seasick and cost bandwidth
• Choose camera position and angle carefully
Free Screen Recording Software
• http://www.techsmith.com/jing.htmlcapture your screen for videos, add text boxes, arrows or rectangles to highlight spots, record audio together with the video
• http://camstudio.org/open source screen recorder software records all screen and audio activity on computer, creates AVI or SWF
• http://www.advancity.net/eng/products/capturefox.htmlFirefox add-on records screen frame by frame with voice and provides AVI output
• http://www.utipu.com/screen recording with audio and video, AVI and FLV output, audio can be re-recorded, trim beginning and end, zoom video to mouse cursor with smart zooming and ability to draw free-style during recording
• http://www.debugmode.com/wink/tutorial and presentation creation software, capture screenshots, add explanation boxes, buttons and title, records voice, creates highly compressed Flash movies
Video Editing Tips 1
• Always shoot with the editing in mind:
• take different shots, close shots, wide shots, hold the camera steady, film enough footage, you can always cut out later what you don’t need.
• Work organized:
• if you are making a longer movie, prepare a storyboard up first. Name your clips in your video editing software. Use the same names as you use in your storyboard. If you don’t name your clips you will end up with a heap of files and you will lose a lot of time trying to find the footage that you are looking for.
• First assemble:
• Once you have your footage loaded into the editing software, start with creating a “rough cut”: put the main footage you want to use in chronological order in the time line.
Video Editing Tips 2
• Cut out the crap:
• trim the beginning and endings of each clip and cut out all the unusable shots
• Tell your story:
• where can you add close ups? What shots can you add to enhance the effect? Try out different things and notice the impact, effect or feeling, the emotion that the video brings across
• Take it easy:
• Your shots last at least between 2 and 10 seconds. Vary shot lengths, some longer shots and then some shorter ones. Don’t go for the stroboscope effect, MTV or boredom. In about 5 seconds, the human brain has seen most details of a picture
Video Editing Tips 3
• Add some effects:
• bring your audience into the movie, prettify your movie. Careful: try to “feel” what different effects do to your movie, don’t go crazy with flipping and twirling stuff, read the language of movies
• Create intro, opening and closing titles:
• have a proper beginning and ending, black at the end of a movie creates a dramatic effect. When a title follows black, the audience can relax.
• Add music and sound effects:
• test different kind of music tracks for your video and “feel” the difference. A good choice of music will enhance your video
First steps of a « story »
• What do you want to tell? What is its purpose?
• Define the learning outcome/objective
• Start research and documentation
• Get a lot of ideas & inspiration!
• Start distilling the information
• Make a first outline
• Evaluate
• Produce detailled script
• The place of video for learning in the learning context, integrating video in the learning process
• Not all learning can always be done entirely in every video…

Ideas…
• Biographical and Autobiographical videos e.g. Animoto
• Common craft video (hand drawn, cut out)
• Stop-motion videos (Jellycam)
• Documentary
• Flipped classroom (Khan style)
Flipping The Classroom
• Flipped learning: students watch instructional videos for homework and use class time to practice what they’ve learned.
• Presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, Smart Notebook)
• You can make high-quality educational videos for your students. Here are a few Video Rules.
1. Keep it short
• YouTube generation
• Bite-sized pieces: just the quadratic formula, not anything else. One topic equals one video.
• 3 minute rule?
3. Create the video with another teacher
• Powerful conversation instead of watching a talking head
• Dialogue is helpful in comprehension of the material
• Like radio show
4. Add humor
• Put a running joke in (but only for the first minute or so)
• Humor brings interest to the video, which keeps the students interested
5. Don’t waste your students’ time
• Students are watching this in their own time. Keep to your topic.
6. Add annotations
• Think of your screen as a whiteboard: use annotation to add pen markups or similar
7. Add callouts
• A callout is a text box, a shape, or some other object that will appear for a while in the video and then disappear.
• Bring attention to the key elements in a video
• Show steps in a problem
8. Guide the eye of the viewer
• Zoom in to different portions of the screen: zoom in to the portion of the picture that is most important for comprehension, help the students focus
9. Keep it copyright friendly
• Video will likely be posted online, make sure that you follow appropriate copyright laws
Simple Guidelines to Instruction
2. Inform learners of objectives
Create level of expectation for learning
Simple Guidelines to Instruction
3. Stimulate recall of prior learning
Retrieval and activation of short-term memory situation
Simple Guidelines to Instruction
5. Provide "learning guidance"
Induce storage in long-term memory
6. Practice
Perform acquired knowledge
7. Provide feedback & Assess performance
Retrieval and reinforcement of content as final evaluation
8. Enhance retention and transfer to next level
Retrieval and generalisation of learned skill to new situation
Assessing the video project: post-production.
• Did video demonstrate what you said it would in outline and script?
• Did the audience (classmates) learn something from the final product? Did they learn what you wanted them to learn?
• Was the final product engaging?
• How does the audience evaluate the product?
• Was it worth the trouble?
