Brainstorming; Making Video More Interactive

Proposed by Gregg McCroskey, Jo-Ann Cuevas and Shawn Kim

Notes

 
Sharing Experiences:
-       ITS is starting to offer a video conference/video filming service.
-       Used video recording for training purpose. – want easy tools to edit recorded videos
-       Language lab in Meyer library – record 100 presentations every year (Purpose: train students to work and live in other countries)
·      Use capture cart – simple system (use quick time to record; table of wheels, camcorder fire wired to laptop – faculty friend system to capture)
·      Future: video editing will be done online with cloud computing.
-       iMovie for video editing  - sync an audio track.
o   Option to export to YouTube directly.
 
- Tech training offers class on how to edit videos on YouTube.
            Tech briefing is offered every month.
            - using Ncast for capturing–will follow the presentation.
            - using Quicktime pro 7 for editing.
            - samples at  http://www.stanford.edu/group/ttsdocs/cgi-bin/techbriefingvideos/

- adobe premier – another editing tool - using green screen to record
 Camtasia – to record and edit screen capture.

-Webex training center – scaling and reliability factor isn’t strong
 
What application on the website can we use to make the video more interactive?
            Whiteboard application
            Google hangout – limitation on participation numbers
            Gocast.it – online meeting tool
 
Important:
o   Videos must have captions!
