Workshop: Producing educational videos: design and workflow issues

Abstract

Part 1 of the workshop was a quick survey, with examples, of the range of educational videos produced by academics and students along with a consideration of their pedagogic functions. Part 2 was hands on and participants worked in pairs developing a script and visual storyboard for their own video idea and providing critical support to their partner’s ideas. Part 3 was a general discussion of these designs, how they had been refined or simplified and how they might be used in teaching and learning. Participants learned about the range of videos used in education and how they might be used in teaching. They learned about the range of multimedia that can be used in videos that makes them different from lectures, books, supervisions etc. And they developed an understanding of how they could develop a workflow and a division of labour with technical experts in making a video
