ABOUT THE VIDEO ANALYSIS TOOL IN MEDIASHARE

Designed specifically for use in Teacher Education and Counseling courses, the Video Analysis Tool is designed to help you build the observation and analysis skills you'll need to be a successful educator or counselor.

The Video Analysis Tool includes sets of course-specific video cases featuring authentic classroom or counseling video clips, each illustrating an important theory, strategy, or topic. Accompanying rubrics are designed to guide your analysis of the techniques shown, while the video analysis software enables you to annotate the clips, show your thinking, and provide evidence of your rubric ratings. Your instructor may also elect to create their own video analysis assignments using their own videos, or videos from YouTube.

The MediaShare platform enables instructors to create other types of useful assignments as well. Your instructor may elect to create assignments that enable you to submit videos of your own teaching or counseling for analysis, or take quizzes associated with video or other media assets.

We hope that the Video Analysis Tool in MediaShare will help you develop the skills and confidence to succeed in practicum and student teaching, on teacher performance assessment evaluations and licensure exams, and in your teaching or counseling career.

2. Click to open your Video Analysis Tool course.


3. Click to open the exercise you wish to complete.

4. Video Analysis Tool exercises are designed to improve your ability to effectively observe and analyze teaching or counseling.

Upon opening an exercise, review the instructions. Note that your instructor may set specific expectations for the level of rigor they expect in your analysis, and that these expectations may vary per exercise. Each exercise includes a link to a video that shows how to complete the video analysis exercises. It is recommended that you watch the video prior to completing your first assignment.


5. After reading the instructions, you will likely want to review the rubric prior to watching the video so that you know which aspects of the video clip to analyze. Click on the rubric categories to reveal the criteria and rubric ratings for the category.

6. If you would like to download and print the rubric, scroll down and click the Download Rubric button to download a PDF version of the rubric.


7. After reviewing the rubric, watch the video clip. The rubric remains alongside the video so that you may refer to it as you watch the video. You can pause and review sections of the clip as many times as you wish.

8. During or after watching the video, select your rubric ratings for each category by opening each category and clicking the radio button next to the appropriate rating. The system saves your ratings as you go along so that if you need to stop in the middle of the exercise, you won't lose your work. You can adjust your ratings up until you submit your exercise to your instructor for review and grading. Note that you must select rubric ratings for every category in order to activate the Submit button that enables you to submit your exercise to your instructor.


9. Next you will provide evidence for your rubric ratings by adding timestamped comments to the video. Click the Add Comment button to add a comment. Select a rubric category from the dropdown menu with which to associate the comment. Indicate a Start and Stop time. Type your comment. Click Save.

The number of comments you will make will vary from category to category. For some rubric categories you might see several examples of evidence to cite, whereas in others you might see one or two. Note that your instructor may ask you to make a specific number of comments for each rubric category. You are able to edit your comments up until you submit your exercise to your instructor for review and grading.


10. Note that if you are watching the video and click to add a comment, the video will pause and automatically set the start time for the comment at the point where the video was paused. You may need to manually adjust the start time to accurately indicate when the action started.

11. Once you create a comment, you can click the timestamp to review the section of the clip to check your work. You can edit the comment if necessary.
