Streaming Video: Overcoming Barriers for Teaching and Learning JISC/NSF Digital Libraries Initiative All Projects Meeting, Edinburgh June 2002 Jim Strom Manchester Computing

Streaming Video: Overcoming Barriers for Teaching and Learning Need Click and Go Video Project Developing a Conceptual Framework Image, Integration, Interaction Challenges and Opportunities

Need Exploit widespread and freely available PC resources for streaming video Think more about the pedagogic value and less about controlling the technology DIY capture and production non-specialist educators cost and time are important barriers to overcome fast forward to video streaming

JISC/DNER L&T Programme Investigating the technology, infrastructure and pedagogic barriers for streaming video Providing advice and guidance on capture, production, delivery, pedagogic use Case studies: catering, surgery, fashion Click and Go Video

Pedagogic Uses of Video Talking head (lecture, presentation) Events (seminar, conference, workshop) Fly on the wall (group dynamic) Think aloud (video diary, interview) Instructional (procedure, demonstration) Simulation (role play, lab experiment) Realism (wildlife, a fashion show, dance)

Conceptual Framework 3Is Concept Image – visual quality and realism Integration – linking to other media or conferencing tools Interaction – provision of user control and access

Image Focus on the Capture Stage Achieving the media (and message) quality required at an acceptable cost Audio quality as important as video quality Capture may be done for immediacy (raw video)

Preparation of Food Link video with recipe and instructional information for practical cookery sessions Short high quality close up video clips - providing a level of realism equivalent to a live demonstration

Fashion Marketing Developing global awareness and experience of international business with UK graduates Supporting collaborative work among students ad hoc capture, fly-on-the-wall Student video diaries, presentations

Integration Focus on the Production Stage Balancing the degree of creativity in the production with the time involved in completing it Need for tools aimed at the non-technical user Approaches to Integrating Media as part of video editing link through web page design use a semi automated capture procedure separate out and synchronise (SMIL)

Interaction Focus on the Delivery Process Providing a level of control that is in accordance with user access Issues: delivering to remote, low bandwidth users dealing with resource and technology managers network infrastructure

Challenges and Opportunities Move from video as a presentational tool to video as a focus for networked learning Need to get beyond the early adopters Turn educators (and learners) into producers not just consumers Building (and exchange of) learning objects Need for standards-based authoring tools that allow pedagogic thinking to be applied in production
