Eine kurze Einführung von @Praetorius über das fluxse Drehen von Webvideos. Wenn ich den Inhalt zusammenfassen mag, dann: Kurze Planung vorweg erspart viel Arbeit der Nachbereitung! "Danke liebe Twitter-Freunde für die vielen leckeren Kochrezeptvorschläge für mein anstehenes Video-Seminar. Ich werde kommende Woche wieder einen Kurs zum Thema Produktion und Publishing von Web-Videos geben. Ich halte solche Seminare immer gerne ganz allgemein. Daher werde ich meine Tipps zur Moderation und dem Umgang mit der Kamera am beispiel eines kleines Kochkurses geben. Heute geht's ins Studio bzw. in die Küche. Es gibt Spiegelei mit Spinat in HD. Der Blogeintrag und das Konzept stehen schon mal hier, Videos folgen, sobald ich Sie nachbearbeitet habe:"

What you´re dealing with here is a pure javascript driven HTML5 video experience. FlAsH is used only whenever there´s no native H.264 support available. In such cases a minimalistic SWF which mimics an HTML5 video element as good as necessary (read: as simple as possible) is used.

I found this video on Jim Groom's website set up to support a course on storytelling. Jim says "Here is a fascinating and quick seven minute video that features interviews with a variety of scholars, theorists, activists, and participants in the changing nature of storytelling. How do they frame social media and participatory culture in this equation?" It is particularly good to see that Jim has put the whole course up on an open Wordpress blog. There's lots of explore there - Open Learning at its best!

I struggle with audio especially when I'm out of a controlled environment. I often like to make videos on the road at events - usually in a noisy conference hall with high ceilings. This is a less than ideal recording situation. So, I thought I'd round up a bunch of different microphones at work and compare them for you. Matt Pierce, the Training Manager, and I headed to our soundbooth and tested 6 different microphones. We used Audacity to record the audio at 44,100Hz. We tried to have as much consistency as possible, but we had to adjust the audio levels on each microphone. You will see in the screencast what level we recorded at. Also, I made the links a hotspot in the video, so you can click them if you'd like more info about the microphone. The screencast is short - running 1:30.

There's a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era. This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle - even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal - even though many such videos are also lawful. This misinformation is harmful, because it discourages kids and teens from following their natural inclination to be innovative and inquisitive. The innovators, artists and voters of tomorrow need to know that copyright law restricts many activities but also permits many others. And they need to know the positive steps they can take to protect themselves in the digital sphere. In short, youth don't need more intimidation - what they need is solid, accurate information.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE is an opportunity to gather with other members of the community in real-time events, complete with audio, chat, desktop sharing, and sometimes even video. You are invited to join us for our weekly Saturday show with co-hosts Peggy George, Kim Caise and Lorna Costantini!

Alpha version is released! "Matterhorn is an open source project working within the Opencast Community to develop an end-to-end, open source platform that supports the scheduling, capture, managing, encoding and delivery of educational audio and video content."

By Adam Hay Some companies have made a living creating a sort of "virtual classroom," allowing members to learn at their own pace when they have the time using video tutorials. The advantages of the classroom setting stem from a one on one experience and the ability of the instructor to show the ideas and theories rather than simply explain them.

Best Practices in Screencasting This site provides individuals with information about how to design tutorials effectively, information on how to measure the effectivenes of tutorials, as well as some information on screencasting and video sites. These intial postings are the result of the work done by members of our project, but we welcome any and all information pertinent to better and more effective tutorial design.

Self-organised vocational training can benefit a lot from the possibilities offered by e-learning. Dr Stephanie Merkenich from the Glass Working Technical School, Rheinbach, and Dirk Dittmann from the Association of Craft Businesses Märkischer Kreis, Germany, showed that devices and tools such as video simulations, wikis and podcasts can develop intrinsic motivations to learn and to teach.

RAFT (Remote Accessible Field Trips) provides the possibility for students to participate in field trips from remote locations. This paper reports on two studies to test the RAFT concept. The first study used video-mediated communication (VMC) to allow students to communicate with experts. The second study tested students' experiences of using off-the-shelf technologies to transfer data while assigned with specific roles. Participants were school students aged 11-18 years. The findings showed RAFT resulted in high levels of interest and was both positive and engaging for students. An increase in student interest in topic (p < 0.05) was reported in the second study. It is argued that these aspects of RAFT are of benefit to students and further developments are discussed.

Podcasts sind seit ihrem großen Hype im Jahr 2005 in der Netzlandschaft angekommen. Doch sind es nicht einfach nur Audiosendungen im Internet, sondern nicht selten spielen interessante Konzepte im Hintergrund eine Rolle. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die AG Podcasting, bei der Andreas Auwärter an der Universität Koblenz das Medium in Bildungskontexten einsetzt. Wir waren vor Ort...
