This workshop will focus on
the creation and use of online educational videos. Materials will be provided
to participants, and participants will be asked to take part in conference
calls/webinars, prior to the conference; these will go over the learning
science behind educational videos, the different types of videos, and an
overview of the process of creating them. Participants will be asked to bring
scripts and images to the workshop. The workshop will be made up of four
interactive sessions. Session One
will focus on the scripts; participants will break into small groups to
critique, edit and record their scripts. Session
Two will focus on the visual part of the videos; participants will break
into small groups to critique the choice and arrangement of images to accompany
their scripts, and they will also have the chance to be videotaped. Session Three will provide participants
with the opportunity to get hands’ on experience with different methods of
creating videos using free or purchased computer programs, including webcams,
screencasting, and multimedia. Session
Four will introduce participants to a less widely known use of educational
videos: as a method for giving students feedback on their work products, both
written and performed; participants will have an opportunity to experiment with
using videos for student feedback. By the end of the workshops, participants
will have the information they need to make informed choices about using online
educational videos and the experience they need to create their own videos.
