eLearning eLearning: An alternative teaching or learning option • Informationist • Instructors in class • Content developer • Media developer: • Write storyboard • Design layout • Add media elements Two Web-based instructional formats: • Interactive primers (using JavaScript) • Text content with images & animation • Spry • Ressessing • Video based eLearning modules
Types of video used • Presentational video • Presentation, speech, interview • Camtasia video • Multimedia presentation communicating information • Screencast video • Similar to Camtasia but concentrate on screen-based learning activities • Flash Animation • Animation created from Flash and embedded in the text-based eLearning modules
Presentational Video Creating video • Camcorder: A portable video camera and video recorder • Basic camcorder operating skills: how to use viewfinder, focus (auto) and zoom, panning (using tripod) Quality • Hardware: lens, CCD and resolution • Shooting skills: Composition, lighting, framing, backdrop Conversion • AVI, MPEG Software editing (Adobe Premiere Elements) • Import video file • Editing: Remove unwanted parts / No extra audio / Select a video format Deployment • HTML tags • Dreamweaver
Camtasia Video • Creating video • Camtasia Studio: Timeline based media presentation tool • Media assets: internal (callouts) and external • Script (content document) • Storyboard (detailed media use – where & when) • Audio driven (storyboard is created based on the narration file) • Creativity (graphic design, color, background music) • Finished video: multiple options • Deployment: Save options • Formats: wmv, mov, avi, mp4, etc. • Players • Transfer the html code from generated file to the styled file.
Screencast Video • Jing: capture image & video (less labor intensive) • No external and internal media elements • No media editing tools • Less creativity (footage content is “recorded”) • Concentrating on screen activity • Annotate captured images: balloon & arrows • Good for demonstrating a process (short period) • Audio (narration) is also important • Script is useful (possible recording while narrating) • Frame rate: limited to 10 fps • Video format: SWF (Dreamweaver) or FLV
Flash Animation Video • Flash Professional • Animation used in interactive primers as secondary content • Creativity is the key: interesting and capturing viewer’s attention • Animation can be created in different ways • Timeline animation: Classic tween, motion tween, shape tween and frame to frame animation. • ActionScript animation (ActionScript) • Can be saved in different video formats: SWF only • Deployment: SWF or converted formats
