Using video for messages, information and personal tutorials
UAL’s Digital Integration into Arts Learning (DIAL) project aims to carry out a small number of staff and student led projects and case studies, which will explore the pace of technological change and its impact on the day-to-day practices. Read more.

CSM course director exploring the possibility of filming himself giving messages/information to students on the course – kind of ‘v-mailing’. Tutor sends important messages via email and increasingly find students suffering from email overload – not reading them. This can be very damaging to the students and the course. The idea of filming my messages actually came from students at a recent forum. In addition and linked to this, I want to explore ways of filming scheduled Personal Tutorials a) because the written form is a hopelessly inadequate record for students and b) to still provide evidence for monitoring processes Aims: Evidence that students actually get the messages – and so communication issue is improved (see above). Secondly, feedback that students have access to a better, more appropriate record of their Personal Tutorial, than a completed form – again this could be useful for other courses. Time: I will be sending messages/holding personal tutorials anyway over the year so the pilot could be tested/feedback gathered by Nov ‘13. |

Not sure because I’m aware of the technical implications – which is my I need to run the project. I guess it could be used as a case study for other courses facing similar communication issues. |

CHALLENGE: I will need technical support in setting up any film facility and in how to disseminate the filmed material as appropriate. I might need some remission of teaching time to free up time for meetings/testing – not much – under 10 teaching hours at the most. I will need some equipment (camera…webcam…?) but cannot give estimates at this point as I have not the knowledge. Time Michael is very busy, we hope to kick this project off in July 2013. |
