Mini camcorders now available on loan
Video can be used in many ways to support learning, not least through the use of automated video lecture capture which we’ve covered in many posts on this blog recently.
If you’re looking to produce something ‘quick and dirty’, for instance a short video introduction to a topic, or video feedback on assignments (which a number of colleagues have been trying out), we now have the ideal equipment for the purpose available on loan.
The Kodak Zi8 is about the size of a mobile phone but creates very good quality video clips, especially when combined with the miniature tabletop tripod and external tie-clip microphone included in our kits. Clips can be very easily transferred across to your PC then uploaded to Learn.
If you’d like to try one out, drop by the E-learning Office in the Library (next to the cafe).
