This session is part of the Video Lab, where over two days we're aiming to build a tool that remixes video in the classroom. For an overview of what we're after, visit here first
Open video in education - the present and possible
- Main contact: Brett Gaylor
- Team: Brett Gaylor, Mozilla; David Humphrey, Center for Development of Open Technologies at Seneca College; Ben Moscovitz, Open Video Alliance; Wendy Levy, Bay Area Video Coalition
- Hosts: Mozilla, BAVC, Center for Development of Open Technology (CDOT)
- Status: confirmed
Summary
To whet our appetite or the hacking ahead, Ben Moscovitz from the Open Video Alliance will show us some real-world examples of platforms out in the wild that are re-thinking the experience of watching video on the web - as well as some examples from different fields that can inspire us.
We'll also look at how filmmakers are thinking about their work in learning environments - Wendy Levy from the Bay Area Video Coalition will show some work that has come out of their Producers Institute that showcases how storyworlds can be re-mixed and leveraged for the classroom.
The format will be "speed geek" presentations of inspiring and bleeding edge examples of open video in education.
What do you want to achieve?
- Kickstart a participatory design process, where those passionate in the fields of education can contribute to a blue sky vision of the tools we need to revitalize how video is used in the classroom
- Give this brainstorming context with a "state of the union" in open video technoligies
Who should come? How many? For how long?
- Curious souls wanting to discover exciting uses of video in education
- We also need folks who have ideas on how to improve video for learning
What will they do when they get there?
The session will be designed as a "speed geek", where groups of participants move through several "stations" where presenters discuss open video projects.
What will you / they have at the end?
- A survey of the possible
- A launching pad for our next session, where we begin to prototype new tools
