Just One Thing
Just checking in to see if there are questions or concerns.
Promotional Video
To recap last class:
- Clark, Hayley, and Jarod are shooting Dr. Dejardins’ class. The class takes place in the department conference room.
- Austin, Hannah, and Brenna are scheduled to interview our graduate student. I’ve set up an email to facilitate this.
- Holly, Brittany, and Patrick are set to do the faculty interview.
Let’s nail down the schedule for shooting Dr. Dejardins’ class (Tuesday or Thursday).
Discussing Video
We had two readings for today–first the Schroppell and then the 2009 report on Video Use and Higher Education.
For the Schroppell, I want to emphasize the Shooting Scripts and Storyboards section.
For the Video Use report, I have some questions.
- Claim: “The state of play in higher education is such that the “screen literacy,” “visuality,” and fluency that students bring to the classroom and from their worlds outside the university are barely being serviced inside of it. The ways in which students use, create, and distribute entertainment media differ drastically from the ways in which they use digital media inside the classroom” (5). There’s a few questions to unpack here.
- Claim/Finding: “Despite the lack of video resources/services currently available for higher education, nearly half of the faculty we interviewed anticipate that their video use will accelerate.” Let’s look at anticipated uses and kinds of videos:
- Faculty will upload more video and use mobile devices or content management systems (7%/10%)
- More guest performances/public screening of video
- I want to make video more accessible (17%)
- I will be using more video overall (43%)
- In courses that use videos, how do you access them? [8] Also, are they videos made by faculty? Are they edited?
- Have you had discussions about copyright and/or academic fair use?
- Conclusion: “Through our discussions, we learned that faculty and librarians are eager to collaborate in the creation of faculty-friendly video resources in a variety of subject areas, from a range of sources (professional, archival, amateur), accessible across formats and platforms, searchable through keywords and metadata, rights-cleared and cataloged, and tested regularly in the classroom with faculty and students” (11).
