Posted by elearning, at 12:47PM 06/15/08 : Producing Video Learning Objects for E-learning
Note: By Peter J. Fadde, Ph.D, Southern Illinois University - eLearn Magazine
"A number of trends have combined to make it attractive and feasible for teachers, trainers, and instructional designers to produce video learning objects-short video units as opposed to complete video programs. Video Learning Objects can be included in an online course or workshop or posted on a Content Management System (CMS) or a Learning Management System (LMS). The trend toward less expensive and easier to use video production tools has been going on for at least 10 years. It's become much less expensive to shoot and edit video, whether you are doing it yourself or contracting an internal or freelance video crew. More recently, advances in video compression and new video file formats such as Flash video have made it possible to routinely distribute full-motion, high-resolution video over the Internet." tags: video
