  14. Go to My Wiki • Go to kayuoitpres.wikispaces.com/ • Then click on Quality of Clips

  15. Quick Clip Tips • Conversational style(imagine one on one) • Connect with the listener (humour / passion) • Short and sweet (less than 5 min) • Try not to be perfect • Snagit ($30)

  16. Let’s Make One More Clip • What would you like to make a clip about? • What format do you want to use? • Write a brief script • Practice • Post at todaysmeet.com/VideoPodcasts only if you like

  20. Opportunities

  21. Administration • Just-in-time podcasts to explain • Assignments • Homework • How to use tools

  22. Administration - Samples • Instructions for Assignments • Using Software (Desmos) • Homework Instructions

  23. Administration - Evidence

  24. Administration - Evidence • “Video instructions really help clear up the gray areas of the assignment and they provide good examples.” • “It's really good that I have the ability to review the expectations of an assignment multiple times and coming directly from my instructor”

  25. Administration - Evidence • “For many of us, the type of work we are doing is new, and simple written instructions may not be sufficient to understand the technical aspect of what we have to do.” • “I can refer back to them over and over instead of bugging my professor”

  26. Opportunities

  27. Instruction • Big Picture Overview • Explanation of Concepts • Worked Examples • Flipped Classroom

  28. Instruction - Examples • Big Picture Overview • Explanation of Concepts • Worked Examples (Create Your Own) • Flipped Classroom (Collections + TEDEd) • Student – Selection & Wiki Review • Student select best explanations in teams • Student create wiki review of unit/year

  29. Instruction - Samples • Collections • mathtechtoolsuoit.wikispaces.com/Podcasts • Worked Examples (Evaluating Functions)tinyurl.com/evc-inst3 • Concepts (Reliability & Validity)tinyurl.com/evc-inst5

  30. Instruction - Evidence • Kay, R. H., & Kletskin, I. (2010). Evaluating the use of learning objects for improving calculus readiness. Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 29(1), 87-104. • Brief summary … • 87% of students felt clips were useful • Clear, easy to follow, well explained, useful visual supports • Liked going at their own pace • Significant correlations between use of clips and changes in knowledge

  31. Opportunities

  32. Assignments • Student created videos • Explanations of how to do certain math problems • Post answers on a Wiki / Web Page

  33. Assignment - Examples • Create explanation of math problem • Individual • In teams • Real world math examples • Give feedback to peers about solutions (post on Wiki)

  34. Opportunities

  35. Feedback • Guidance (formative feedback) • Individual or team • Assignments & Tests (summative feedback) • Individual • Challenging questions on tests

  36. Feedback- Evidence • Kay, R. H. & Petrarca, D. (2009) Exploring the Impact of Video Feedback in Online Courses, The Fifteenth Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning, Orlando, Florida.
