In the last three decades, teachers have moved beyond the four walls of the classroom to the infinite possibilities of the Internet. With more than ten years' worth of online videos, training resources using rich media can be found everywhere: YouTube, Vimeo, Open Education Resources, lecture-capture inside an LMS and third party rich media libraries. Such resources have become fully integrated into the learning space and are now a matter of choice for the student.
During the "Online Video: Learning Better, Learning Differently" session, Laurie Burruss, education consultant for lynda.com, will discuss the rapid adoption of this technology and how online video changes and enhances the way we learn. She will also describe the components that make an effective online video, such as structuring learning around meaning, presenting the big picture of the subject matter and supporting it with granular details and steps.
Attendees will return to their organizations with a greater understanding of the factors that affect our learning, including:
Audio and video best practices
Transcripts and closed captioning
Repetition and failure in privacy
Player and playback controls
Simplicity, choice, accessibility and usability
User-centered experience design
The rewards of anywhere, anytime video learning
Personalization and customization
