It was a great conference that brought to light many exciting ways to energize and engage students in the classroom. One of the presentations got my undivided attention because I have experimented with using student created videos in my classes this past semester to meet some learning objectives. For example, we made videos that represented the 4P’s of marketing and video resumes etc. Anyway…the link I’m providing here presents a showcase of digital media success stories at U of P.
“ Student-created video and multimedia is an increasingly popular undergraduate assignment option at Penn, replacing traditional research papers. Creative videos assignments engage students in high level critical thinking, writing, planning, scripting and group collaboration tasks.” (WIC at U of P )
By the way, these video assignments were applied to a wide variety of disciplines and classes. More specifically, some of the assignments given required the student to make a Video Mashup : http://wic.library.upenn.edu/multimedia/tutorials/mashup.html
This link can provide you with some more insights and examples of winning videos in their Video Mash-up Contest : http://wic.library.upenn.edu/mashup/mashup2007.html
Finally….and this is getting a little too loooong, if you have an interest I have some great examples of video projects assigned by instructors in a variety of disciplines that met required learning outcomes.
Thanks for listening!
