Video and Media creators showcase

Thursday 3 May 2018

These presentation sessions are aimed at academic and professional staff who are interested in the creative use of digital media to support learning, research, best practice and pedagogical approaches. The format consists of two 15min presentations + Q&A for anything related to media production – DIY, branding, copyright, videoing, editing, e-publishing, screen casting, audio podcasting, augmented and virtual reality, drones, student generated content, software and more.  

 

Presentation 1: Developing video content for OLEs

Dr Ilektra Spandagou and Dr Michelle Bonati, from the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, will discuss the process of developing videos for the Disability Awareness and Inclusivity OLE (OLET1135). Types of videos created included professionally produced and acted scripted role-plays, with actors with and without disabilities, mini-lectures, and talking head videos produced in the DIY recording studio. Common principles informed the production of all videos focused on accessibility of content and format. All videos produced included captions, transcriptions, and/or audio descriptions. For third party produced videos, accessibility minimums were reviewed.  The purpose of the videos were to deliver the curriculum content and to provide a model for students for their own student-produced video assessment, which will include accessibility elements. The presentation will provide examples and discuss project management, planning, and developing video content. The student perspective on the role of the videos in their learning with initial feedback will also be discussed.

Presentation 2: Recording specialist video content for the Macleay Collection

Tim Harland, Learning Media Producer from Educational Innovation, will discuss the complex process of creating high fidelity video content for the Macleay collection. The aim was to create an accessible digital resource of a very special object; a life size anatomical model, made of hand painted paper-mâché in approximately 1880 in Paris. Affectionately known as Gladys, the Auzoux model is very fragile and handling is kept to an absolute minimum. As a result, she is stored in a box and rarely seen in public. A conservator will detail how Gladys can be carefully taken apart and then reassembled. When completed, the video will provide a high definition resource for future study and curation for cross disciplinary groups. The set up required an array of equipment; multiple lights, cameras and audio, with the recording process split across several days. Material for seven future OLE projects was also recorded, ranging from medical science to art history. Tim will provide examples of the images captured and discuss the production techniques used for a complex multimedia project.

 

Open discussion 3: The last 20 mins will be an open discussion for attendees

As a first topic, is the showcase format of use, if not, what other options should we consider?
