CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:02 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Hello, Paul! Great to see you. :) Has your fall semester started, yet? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:03 PM EDT

Hello #IOLChat .. Jennifer - adjunct from Atlanta.

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:04 PM EDT

@jshamsy Hello, Jennifer! Thanks for joining in during this busy end-of-the-summer season. :) #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:04 PM EDT

Hello from Colin Easom with Pima Medical Institute Online #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:04 PM EDT

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:05 PM EDT

I'll be popping in and out today :) #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:05 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Going well, thanks! Busy as usual. You? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:06 PM EDT

@ceasom ;) Glad you can be here. Feeling like the days are definitely full! #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:06 PM EDT

OMG @jshamsy and @ceasom present in the same #iolchat ? It's a miracle! ;)

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:07 PM EDT

@ceasom Well I am half a person today...and it sounds like you are really busy -- so together we equal just 1 attendant =) #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:07 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Absolutely..great topic! It will be interesting to see what everyone thinks! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:08 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Hi Paul...getting ready to start another semester? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:09 PM EDT

Let's get rolling with today's topic! "Video and Online Courses." Q coming up ... #edtech #video #onlinelearning #onlineteaching #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:10 PM EDT

Q1) How is video currently used in your online course(s)? #edtech #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:12 PM EDT

A1) I used to use a lot but have cut down - takes a lot of time to make and found most don't view it anyway #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:12 PM EDT

A1) Depends on if we are talking about prof. videos from other sources or home made #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A1 Using video as resource for content review, recorded T & S meeting, or training for class like tours #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@jshamsy Interesting! What kinds of things did you decide to keep (or cut)? #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:13 PM EDT

A1) We're lucky to have a multimedia specialist on staff so we use custom video content in our courses, usually to explain concepts #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Instead of intro for every module..now I maybe do one at the beginning and end #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@jshamsy It's all fair game with this topic - video intros, tutorials, custom made, links to other sources ... #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:14 PM EDT

I also use a short talking-head approach and create YouTuve videos for lesson intro and wrap up #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Ooh! Can you tell us more about the recorded meetings and training tours? Inquiring minds... #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@ceasom That is a great resource! Who decides a video is needed? Or do you have a set approach in the course design? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:16 PM EDT

@jshamsy That makes sense. I can see where it would make a difference with students at those two points. Do you record each term? #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Training tours may be a tour of a gradebook or a rubric. Recorded mtgs are videos of synchronous mtgs -- Zoom #IOLchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@ceasom I think this is important...students seem to get pickier with the quality of the video .. expecting bells and whistles #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@ceasom Do you find there's an optimum length for these intros/outros? (I have so many questions!) #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Sometimes I try to reuse .. but that gets difficult if you want to personalize at all. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Brilliant! Thx for the added detail. Training tour idea sounds helpful. My students also expect recorded grp mtgs #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Our ID team works with SMEs to determine where videos are best. We utilize student feedback, add vids if requested. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:20 PM EDT

#IOLchat Welcome @jmm140! Are these to cover content, provide your intro? https://t.co/8f8FU6JoAL

jmm140 Aug 17 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I created a series of interactive economics videos in Adobe Captivate. Embed in moodle to monitor activity. Still refining.

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Reply; Recorded grp mtgs good for review and for those missing. Training does help answer FAQs on some items #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@ceasom Sounds like an organized effort - and efficient! Student feedback can be really helpful here, too. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@jmm140 @CenterOnlineEd W interactive videos in Moodle do these function like Moodle lessons perhaps? #IOLchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@jshamsy True that! We tend to use interactive videos too to keep them engaged #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jmm140 This is a good way to "see" what the students are actually doing - analytics #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:23 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Definitely! I try to keep videos to under two minutes. 60 seconds are preferable. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:23 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd Training doesn't solve it all..may be other ways to address these issues with other methods too! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:24 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Agreed! These videos could be a starting point for students' troubleshooting. And don't need freq updates? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:25 PM EDT

@ceasom That's a reasonable timeframe. Keep it focused and to the point! #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:26 PM EDT

Yes, training not panacea. Still training may be formative assessment w backward design for SLO dvmt #IOLchat https://t.co/p3QT55eaVQ

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:23 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd Training doesn't solve it all..may be other ways to address these issues with other methods too! #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I am popping in over lunch! :) I love video and use tons. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@ceasom @CenterOnlineEd Time: one to five ideal. Too many crickets w long lectures #IOLchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I use video for my welcome announcement. Great way to motivate and to reassure. Students need human face/voice. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Hello, Karen! Please tell us more about your video use. :) #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:28 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Tell us more -- best, worst, advice #IOLchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:28 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I also created a YouTube Channel this year to organize my video tutorials, mostly screencasts on course content. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Connect w video intro. Yes. 4 min investment for semester connect #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Intros are great! Do you record new ones each term or some reuse? Reassurance is a perfect word here. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd YouTube channel top 3 things I've done in my teaching. Time investment up front but saves TONS of time later. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Okay, if you all remember nothing else: make your videos LAST. #sustainableteaching #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I used to mention dates and specifics. Then would have to redo all videos each term. Craziness! Don't do that. :) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @philosophypaul It's definitely a topic with LOTS of questions ;) #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:31 PM EDT

Great advice for creating your own video! #onlineteaching #IOLchat https://t.co/gjY9pU93gD

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Okay, if you all remember nothing else: make your videos LAST. #sustainableteaching #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I usually do a module overview, DB tutorial, and tutorials on any other assignments each week. b/t 4-5 vids. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Yes I agree..I think this is the most beneficial and may be all that you use it for in the course #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Remember, vids aren't inherently engaging. Your presentation style matters here. Be MORE enthusiastic than usual. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@jshamsy @karenraycosta 4-5 videos per module? #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:33 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I like to say the camera eats your energy. Videos can feel flat if you don't add some energy. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:33 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Do you monitor to see if students actually watch? I found a lot of them didn't #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:33 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd So, would Ss in your class anticipate a weekly video? Be disappointed otherwise? #IOLchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:33 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy Yes. About 5 minutes each. Upfront time investment and now I just roll them term to term. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @karenraycosta I think there is a possibility of getting "video-ed out"..just like with text -- a balance perhaps #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @jshamsy Really, really, really like the idea of "assignment videos" - clarify expectations, where to find info. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd I agree..the more you can reuse the better! #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:34 PM EDT

Good advice. Double enthusiasm for you may be heard as just right. #IOLchat https://t.co/xF3vSIUDN0

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Remember, vids aren't inherently engaging. Your presentation style matters here. Be MORE enthusiastic than usual. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:35 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy OMG I need this for myself. I try to translate from what's on the page into "real" talk. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:35 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Do you caption for ADA compliance? I find that takes the longest =( #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:37 PM EDT

If you don't have at least some screen presence, no worries. Do an audio only screencast or Powtoon instead. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:37 PM EDT

Captioning so impt. For streamlining process begin w script. then embed #IOLchat https://t.co/2aDDb5c9by

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:35 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @CenterOnlineEd Do you caption for ADA compliance? I find that takes the longest =( #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:39 PM EDT

On the topic of scripts, I don't recommend using one. It can cause "deer in headlights" syndrome. But do what works for you. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Screencasts do take away anxiety of being "on camera." Could be a good way to get started. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd FYI I use @ScreenFlow for most of my videos. Great on Mac. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:40 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Engaging videos can also be made "in the wild" using phone. Take students on virtual fieldtrips. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@karenraycosta I write a script, but then don't read it. My thought process always starts with writing. ;) "Talking points" help. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Scripts for Ss No for me for a training module on gradebook yes. Lets me get the CC done fast :) What works #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@karenraycosta @ScreenFlow Thanks for the tip! Will check this out. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@periscopetv is a great resource for the in the wild recording #IOLchat https://t.co/UocVnI1JPY

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@karenraycosta I have to at least have an outline or I just go on and on about nothing =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@jshamsy @karenraycosta Exactly! Me, too. Ramble, ramble, ramble ... #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Another imp. note: if you make a "mistake" keep going. Mistakes are humanizing. Be natural. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@philosophypaul So many new tech tools..there are lots of possibilities #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Some fac. start over if they misspeak once or twice. Will take so long to make videos this way. Not sustainable. #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@jshamsy @karenraycosta I use a post-it with main points pinned immediately next to by webcam ;) Teleprompt, anyone? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Definitely a comfort and confidence level here, to just going for it. Providing good examples to fac. might help. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:47 PM EDT

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:47 PM EDT

@ceasom Great tip. Reminds you to keep eye contact too. That's a big issue I see, people reading from bottom of screen. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:47 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd And takes time. Allow yourself to be a beginner. With practice you'll get better and better. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:48 PM EDT

Ss relate to real video w occasional mistake human not talking head #IOLchat https://t.co/qz1s6DOKsV

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:51 PM EDT

Is anyone using video tools in LMS to give assignment feedback? #onlineteaching #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 17 @ 12:51 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Thanks as always. Off to hang with my son. Have a great week all. #iolchat

ceasom Aug 17 @ 12:51 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A couple of our instructors used screen capture to work thru assignments and provide feedback #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:52 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Thanks for sharing your ideas and experience today! Have a great week. :) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:52 PM EDT

@ceasom That may even be better - walk through the Ss submission while it's on screen. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:54 PM EDT

Is anyone working with assignments that are submitted as video created by students? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:55 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Yes..used jing to record feedback for term papers once..took a lot of time...didn't track to see if they watched it #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 17 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I have a multi-media presentation assignment - they can use video. Takes a long time to watch/grade - subjective #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@jshamsy I can see where it would be time consuming. Class size would be a factor to consider! #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 17 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Use AdobeConnect to record live on screen S presentation. Recordings of pjcts. shared #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 17 @ 12:57 PM EDT

@jshamsy Interesting! I have a video practice activity - it should be worth more points given the time it takes them to prep. #iolchat

Great idea! RT @philosophypaul Use AdobeConnect to record live on screen S presentation. Recordings of pjcts. shared #IOLchat
