10 answers to managing video online in education - 21st Century ...

The vast growth of video in social media and student use of smart phones and tablets is a challenge to mainstream education.

Educational institutions are using more and more online video, especially in MOOCs, blogs and wikis and in VLES as reference and support for coursework and learning.

However there are major concerns about the effectiveness and accountability of video online to enhance teaching and learning.

Recent surveys have highlighted 10 key problems

1. Concerns over privacy: how does a teacher know what video a student is watching?
2. No separation between course and personal accounts: how does a teacher manage student viewing of video out of class?
3. No grading and assessment criteria: how does a teacher elicit student responses and understanding of any video?
4. No measurement criteria: how can a teacher mark and assess student responses to any video?
5. Lack of integration with learning management solutions: how can teachers and students get a more effective blended learning approach using video?
6. Takes too much time to learn how to use: how can we create a simpler, easier and more ?one size fits all? to manage and deploy video in education?
7. Expense of converting multiple format video files: how can we avoid the expense of converting video between proprietary formats in order to display it on different devices?
8. The problems of deploying onto mobile devices: how do we get video played on both android and IOS platforms?
9. Copyright protection: how can we ensure that either the institutions or the publishers copyright on the videos published are protected?
10. Lack of support at any institution: how can we get institutional buy in for change?

There is also a live video chat feature controlled by the teacher, which allows for both remote tutorials to be conducted from place to place and importantly for those tutorials to recorded and interrogated back via the SANSSpace comparative recorder and player.
