LE Video for teaching and learning

If you were not able to join the recent BEL+T / LE microstudio workshops for ABP (find resources from those BEL+T Sessions here), these general sessions from Learning Environments will cover much of the same content.  Dates and links to book are below. If none of these suit, BEL+T / LE will be offering a second series in coming months.

In this four-part series Video for teaching and learning you will be guided by a video education specialist to  learn how to plan, create and edit your own educational videos.

Attend all four sessions or choose the sessions that are right for you:

1. Video for teaching and learning: what the research says (Thursday 1 July, 10-11am)

What does the research tell us about the effective use of video for teaching and learning? How might we design our own experiment to improve our use of video in our own teaching? This short session we will give a brief overview of the existing research, share tips on how to best use prerecorded video in your teaching, and encourage you to gather and interpret your own data about how your students respond to your videos.

2. Video for teaching and learning: presentations (Thursday 8 July, 10-11am)

From lecture capture to desktop recordings, presentations are by far the most common format of video used in education. This short session will show you how to redesign your presentations from the ground up to make better videos. We will discuss the differences between presenting to camera and narrating a slideshow, show you how to rethink your lecture slides, discuss strategies for scripting, and explain the strengths and weaknesses of different recording approaches and university supported tools.

3. Video for teaching and learning: interviews (Thursday 15 July, 10-11am)

We all understand the power of a good discussion to inform and inspire. So how can we use recorded interviews to enhance and enrich our teaching? This short session will show you how to plan, execute and record a well designed interview. We will discuss different interview genres, how to draft great questions, how to build rapport with your interviewee, strategies for conducting, recording and editing interviews, and discuss the pros and cons of audio vs video interviews.

4. Video for teaching and learning: video editing (Thursday 22 July, 10-11am)

Video editing is an art, and editors spend a lifetime in pursuit of a perfect edit. But you can apply some of the tricks of the trade to your own video productions. In this short session, we will show you how to perform the most common editing functions using a range of accessible software options. We will cover basic ‘top and tail’ trim functions in the cloud using Kaltura and Echo, how to clean up an audio recording using Openshot, how to assemble and export a narrated slideshow using Openshot, and how to edit a multi-track video using Adobe Rush.
