Capturing Video Learning Content

Need to capture both the narration and the slides so they can be put together

Approach varies by capture source Content you capture yourself Content you ask others to capture for you Content that already exists and must be

repurposed

Tools for capturing video

Record to cardmedia like SD!Camera with XLR inputis useful for events.

Video tripods aredifferent…fluid head!

Plug into sound system.If you’re the only microphone,use wireless if possible;second shotgun micfor Q&A?

Tips for capturing video for presentations

Ensure adequate lightingfor speaker

Prepare to track rovingspeakers

Generally, shoot from waistup to capture both facialexpressions and handgestures

Include screen when speaker interacts with it. Decide how you’ll handle live screen demos

edit in shoot the screen

Take notes on slide changes, other cues.- 14 -

When you’re getting video already recorded

Get it in digital file form if at all possible (not tape)

Compressed form is great, but: No smaller than 640x360 frame size Not less than 500 kbps bit rate

Ideal format for online presentations: Format: MPEG-4 (.mp4) file, H.264 Frame size: 640x360 Frame rate: 30 frames/sec (25 fps in

Europe) Bit rate: 496 kilobits/sec total (400k video,

96k audio)

You’ll need a tool for trimming and compressing video

The good news: there’s a great one available.

The better news: it’s free.

MPEG Streamclip will: compress your video to

“web size” trim the start and end of

your video “normalize” your audio

Footnotes!!!

Why are footnotes andreference links important?

- 19 -

They invite viewers to deeper involvement with the material

They unburden the main presentation from material that’s of more limited interest

They increase credibility by documenting sources

They encourage exploration of more learning assets.

Putting it all together

To summarize…

Repurposed or “captured” content is a highly efficient and effective way to supplement your video learning assets.

Repurposable learning content is all around us. Capturing content well requires some

forethought, but is not “rocket science”. Modern tools are essential to creating online

presentations that engage, efficiently Collections of online presentations can be

assembled and distributed either through Learning Management Systems or standalone galleries.
