How Video Allows the Virtual to Structure the Real
Abstract: We present a video project designed to prepare online multimedia content while bringing structure to the F2F courses in which the video was taped. It was initiated in 2008 to help adult learners deal with the sometimes very technical content they have to master as part of their diploma requirement. The process of taping provided them with a tool to structure the F2F learning process by highlighting particularly important content while at the same time making it available for revision during the distance part of the course. Both the teacher and the students can ask for a specific element (part of a lecture, or demonstration, or discussion, …) to be taped. This intervention in the F2F classroom helps to focus on the really important and useful elements as perceived by students and teachers and tremendously increases the value of the online material. The session presents the different aspects of the process: from the original design over the technical setup (and challenges) to the selection of content and the effect on the learning outcomes.
