Session 1: Officially the implementation project has been changed so that there are option for the framework that you choose to implement. Unfortunately it is not possible to install the current version of Moodle on the student web space. It may be possible to work with a different LMS such as eFront. The option of using a different system instead of Moodle is available. Today we will look at the installation process for eFront and delve into some of the features within each system.
Session 2: Today I would also like to continue our examination of eFront. So far eFront seems to be a good alternative to Moodle. It has a much more modern and friendly user interface and pre-installs a course module that instructs new users how to use the system. After the eFront demos let’s discuss the requirements for the Instructional Video Production assignment.
Instructional Video Production Assignment
Create a two to five minute video that provides instructions for a particular task or sequence of tasks. Pick a topic that interests you or one in which you have a degree of expertise. Consider using a higher quality microphone to record dialog separately and edit it into the project using Adobe Premiere or a comparable application. Edit the video and use transitions in order to help articulate the technique or task that the viewer is learning.
1. Produce an instruction video between 2 and 5 minutes long.
2. Choose a topic that is interesting to you and that you know well.
3. Improve the audio by using equipment other than a mobile phone or computer mic.
4. Edit the video and audio for content, concision, clarity, and relevance.
5. Publish the video as content in a step or group of steps within a lesson or course.
6. Present your video with the implementation project by session 2 of week 6.
From what we’ve researched about Learning Management Systems this week and moving into the instructional video production assignment, I decided to focus on micro-eLearning and video in eLearning. The first article goes over the variety of micro-eLearning techniques offered to students and employees. The next article describes the impact interactive video in eLearning can have, particularly mobile. The last article illustrates the way video in education has transformed the way we work, play, teach and learn due to a variety of global shifts.
