[Newsletter #145] Silence, ça tourne ! La vidéo fait sa star en formation - 2 views

  • Avant tout, la vidéo n’est pas un média miraculeux. Elle ne doit pas et ne peut pas se substituer à tous les médias et supports utilisés jusqu’à présent en formation. Son succès repose cependant sur de solides arguments : elle est en phase avec nos penchants sensoriels naturels ; entre « voir » et « faire », les neurosciences nous ont appris que la différence est faible ; elle nous donne de petits moments de repos dans nos journées intenses en nous mettant dans une posture relativement passive ; elle apporte une quantité importante d’informations en peu de temps et, quand elle combine parole + pictogramme + 1 mot, facilite grandement la compréhension des informations clés ; elle permet d’incarner le propos quand un personnage, un expert, un narrateur, est à l’écran ; elle peut être accélérée, zappée, rejouée, en toute facilité.   Ses usages en formation sont multiples : inciter, donner envie, surprendre, étonner, intriguer : par une séquence courte et rythmée, souvent appelée « teaser », qui s’apparente aux bandes-annonces du cinéma ; exposer, expliquer, démontrer, argumenter : par un expert, une animation (aussi appelée motion design), une simple présentation PowerPoint commentée ; faire réfléchir : en scénarisant un exercice sous forme d’énigme racontée ; convaincre : par des propos structurés et incarnés (et le biais cognitif de simple exposition) ; distraire : pour diminuer la charge mentale pendant quelques minutes et permettre de reconstituer ses capacités d’attention, de réflexion et de mémorisation ; surprendre : par une dose d’humour, un décalage, une mise en scène et provoquer des émotions qui renforcent l’attention et la motivation ; captiver : en incarnant et mettant en scène le sujet, d’autant plus en utilisant les techniques de Storytelling.
  • Les plus connues pour le stockage et la diffusion de vidéos sont : YouTube : simple, gratuit, très performant, mais parfois bloqué par les services informatiques, Vimeo : l’alternative Pro à YouTube, Microsoft Streem : quand on est condamné à ne pas avoir le choix…, DailyMotion : quand on est audacieux et un tantinet chauvin, Momindum ou Inwicast : pour mettre en place votre propre espace privé. Cependant, la vidéo peut aussi être diffusée en « live » pour retransmettre une conférence, un atelier, une session en ligne. Là encore des solutions existent : Google Hangout live : simple, rapide, gratuit, Périscope : pour profiter des audiences de Twitter, Facebook Live : l’incontournable, Instagram : le challenger de la famille Facebook (en surveillant iGTV), ou les solutions Pro comme VeoLabs, UbiCast.

Recorded lectures inferior to live alternative for deep learning - 1 views

  • New research on recorded lecture videos suggests they offer less valuable learning than live lectures, a finding that has ramifications for those universities that increasingly rely on the format.
  • “We’re learning more about how rich that live interaction is in terms of the whole atmosphere and the five senses we bring into it when we’re learning,” he said.
  • Particularly with mathematics, he said, there had been a lot of academic discussion regarding the value of gesturing. Some recorded lecture videos capture only the power point screen, rather than the lecturer in action.“If you get to see the lecturer move their hands, or grimace, or see facial expressions or body ­language,” he said, “that adds to the whole experience, so that is something that we’re coming to ­appreciate more.”

Seizing the Moment: Social Dynamics and the Remote Student Experience | EDUCAUSE - 1 views

  • At a recent Excellence in Teaching award luncheon at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a conversation turned to lecture capture and revealed unexpected impacts.
  • the students requested he add lecture capture recordings. He agreed. Audio recordings and a data feed were made available on demand so that students could access the lecture materials for review. Brummell's intent was to offer the lecture capture materials as supplements to the classroom experience.
  • Brummell pointed out that using the cameras has drawbacks. "This means you sit down at the camera," he said. "I don't like that. I prefer to be up and active. With lots of students in the class, you can't really pick out specific students very easily, and no one wants to ask questions." After a few lectures, Brummell noticed that a sizeable number of students had stopped coming to class, presumably because they preferred to listen to the recordings. With the class scheduled in a large auditorium, the students who came to class tended to sit closer to the front of the room and nearer to the professor. While the use of the document cameras forced him to remain anchored to a specific location in the classroom, Brummell noted that because the students were closer, he could look up and talk directly to them. "I started getting to know a few names and faces, especially the students who got there early like me," he said. "I chatted with some of them on a regular basis."
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Consequently, his class of two hundred was reduced to about fifty stalwart students who continued to come for the live-lecture experience. Due to the smaller face-to-face class size, Brummell began to shift his focus to the more specific needs of the students who were present
  • It is also interesting that the remote students were not able to observe the professor interacting with the students in the classroom; they perceived his small-class teaching style only through his voice. As the luncheon drew to a close, the reaction of the remote students was compared to the effect a live studio audience can have on television viewers at home. Professor Brummell agreed and jokingly asked for the addition of a laugh track to his recorded lectures.
  • Due to the smaller class size, Professor Brummell was better able to connect with the classroom audience. Students listening to the lectures remotely later indicated that his new presentation style was very effective.
  • There were quite a few comments…expressing appreciation for the webcasts, and some of the comments mentioned the atmosphere of the class
  • While the positive student response described above would not have been possible without the digitization of the lecture content, it should not be attributed solely to technology. These student responses may have been strengthened by a deeper behavioral phenomenon: surrogacy through "vicarious interactions." Vicarious interaction occurs when remote viewers establish a sympathetic relationship to a live studio audience and, through surrogacy, develop a connection with mediated subjects
  • Conclusions In this case, the process of digitally recording the lecture and sharing it via the distributed network added new value, transforming a large lecture into a small-class conversation with unforeseen, vicarious benefits for remote students. The digital transformation discussed here included three distinct elements: The availability of recorded lectures resulted in a certain portion of the student population listening remotely, which, in turn, resulted in a smaller in-person class size. The small-class format allowed the professor to address the issues, problems, concerns, and questions of those students present. The remote student evaluations reported positive responses in part because of the small-class format.

Lecture capture: watch and learn - Installation - 1 views

  • Today’s students are intimately connected to the latest technology and gadgets and use them constantly. Their familiarity, combined with an innate and intuitive ability to control it, means that not only do they use video and audio communication for their own social communication but expect it to be present in all aspects of their lives. This expectation extends to the provision of learning services, particularly at higher levels; with the current high cost of educational services, prospective students demand sophisticated and effective use of technology at universities to elevate their education experience. They choose their university on a number of factors, with technology and modern teaching methodologies rating highly in that decision. Universities that fail to meet their expectations are ignored as students vote with their feet and select another establishment.
  • The process of recording classes and other live sessions, generally referred to as lecture capture, features highly on the lists of students’ criteria during that assessment. While still a relatively young technology compared with others in the AV world, it has rapidly gained acceptance in the academic sector, proving its ability to aid the educational process and rapidly penetrating the industry
  • Early reticence to deploy and use lecture capture systems has largely abated. Fears that students would skip lectures if there were to be a recording available online later, and lecturers’ concerns over job security once their classes had been recorded, were generally unfounded. Instead the system has stimulated new methods of teaching, including that of ‘flipping’,
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • This allows them to concentrate on the delivered speech rather than on note-taking, and has greatly improved understanding. Lecture capture systems are often used in preparing the recordings to be used in lecture flipping
  • “The market is becoming mature, not necessarily in terms of current installations but certainly with the numbers of universities that have a plan in place to roll out capture to all rooms. Many universities have a policy of recording all lessons and lectures and it is being implemented widely. Some universities automatically schedule recordings along with the lecture timetable
  • The use of video capture solutions to record classes as well as enable lecturers to create their own supplemental videos requires robust technology.
  • The lecture capture system should be automated, allowing faculty or campus IT staff the ability to easily schedule recordings. A lecturer may also want to record a video prior to class in an empty classroom or right from the comfort of his or her home or office.
  • “The success of lecture capture is influenced by the user experience of the student and also by the user experience of the teacher,” points out Robert de Jong, director of product marketing EMEA at Vaddio.
  • Handling many simultaneous camera feeds on a network can also present problems. “Some universities are starting to install IP cameras as they are fast coming down in price,” says Mark Rogers, product manager, Datapath
  • Lecture capture is almost becoming a victim of its own success,” continues Lipps. “Students nowadays are demanding it in all their classes and will often stop a lecturer to point out if the system is not recording. The result is that it is becoming an essential piece of equipment in all active lecture rooms. A large university may have 500 rooms but it is not economically viable to put top-of-the-range equipment in all of them. However with the right video platform, there will be hardware and software capture options that make sure lecture capture can be included in as many classrooms as possible.”

Here's How Engaging Digital Tools Level the Playing Field | Emerging Education Technolo... - 0 views

  • Classrooms have plenty to share with one another from one area to another, which this platform would allow, and I really like having the kids join me live, ask questions back and forth or collaborate on a single podcast. Accessibility is key to ensuring that every student has access to a quality education, and the live transcript feature would also be very useful for our English language learners. You can’t learn a language unless you speak it, write it and work with it. From a personal perspective, I have a hearing deficiency and appreciate that we now have this tool to amplify one’s voice so that everyone can better hear what we’re saying. I actually recorded a four- or five-minute rant on Storytellers about the challenges I face at conferences when speakers don’t use microphone because they’re uncomfortable about it, and shared it to Spotify. Too often, we're focused on the specifics of how kids are sharing information rather than what they're sharing. Kids need options. If they don’t want to write that paper or present in front of the class way to show what they’ve learned, a podcast can support the same outcome.

Flip Classroom Market Growth Forecast at 37.47% CAGR to 2020 - MarketWatch - 2 views

  • The analysts forecast global flip classroom market to grow at a CAGR of 37.47% during the period 2016-2020. One trend to watch for is the advances in lecture capture technology. Vendors are improving the features and functionalities of lecture capture technology to popularize it in classrooms. With the help of this technology, video lectures can be created in HD quality by combining inputs from live cameras and computer screens. These lectures are interactive, as they include options like touchscreen, tagging, and content editing.
  • Flipped learning is a hybrid model that combines aspects of traditional learning and blended learning. This model encourages students to take technology-aided lectures outside of the classroom through videos and simulations. Lessons taken in advance by students allow the classroom time to be allocated for group activities and handling subject related queries, resulting in enhanced student performance. Educational institutions are deploying flipped learning models by installing lecture capture solutions and delivery solutions such as LMSs (learning management systems).
  • The flip classroom market [http://www.sandlerresearch.org/global-flip-classroom-market-2016-2020.html ] is divided into the following segments based on geography: APAC, Europe, North America and ROW. Key players in the global flip classroom market: Adobe Systems, Cisco Systems, D2L, Echo360, and Panopto. Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Aptara, Articulate, City & Guilds Group, Creston Electronics, Dell, Haiku Learning, MediaCore, N2N Services, OpenEye, Saba Software, Schoology, and TechSmith

Donald Taylor on Video in Training - AllenComm - 2 views

  • More and more frequently modern employees expect video to be a factor in on-the-job learning. And not simply a dry, one hour VHS training course of the past. Good, relevant video content that impacts performance. We’ve outlined a few guidelines on improving onboarding with video here.
  • In an international poll each year, reaching over 50 countries, I ask people: “What is hot in L&D this year?” The choice of ‘Video’ has fallen down the table of ‘hotness’. In other words, it’s no longer considered exciting
  • In other words: video is now part of the way we live and learn today.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • We also know (just look at the exponential growth of YouTube) that video is an area which L&D pros have to invest in, as employees/customers expect it. With this expectation comes the responsibility of making sure the content is compelling.
  • It’s down to L&D professionals to invest in themselves and ensure they can produce great video – either internally or by outsourcing well.
  • es, the younger generation is more accustomed to using certain tools such as YouTube, but video is universally appealing – witness the enduring success of cinema. We are visual animals, and good video will appeal to us all.
  • Video has the unique power of engaging employees and helping them retain information learned during onboarding like no other medium. According to Forrester Research, video is the fastest-growing digital content category, and they expect by 2017 more than 90% of the online population will regularly watch online video.
