  • Production styles

    Prev Next

    A variety of video production styles can be used to support learning outcomes. Student don't always need to view a high-end production and in many cases, the simplicity of a DIY video can delivery the message and provoke thought just as effectively. Lead time, TIU video team production capacity and budget also need to be considered. The following section provides an overview of production styles that can be tailored for a variety of pedagogic applications.  Examples are provided including information on the software and hardware used to create the resource. The starting point should be pedagogic application and how the video should help students achieve learning outcomes. You can then select an appropriate production style and consider hardware and software options.

    There is no definitive production style for each pedagogic application however, this section strives to provide some clarity by separating styles into instruction delivery, information provision and interaction. Instruction assumes that students will be guided through a series of steps to achieve an outcome. Information delivery provides a more didactic approach while interaction allows students to really get their hands dirty by "touching" and interacting with video elements.

    Simple instruction

    Many processes are simple and learning can be assisted by using a video to demonstrate and explain a series of steps; for example:

    • How to use equipment
    • How to perform a simple function on an Excel spreadsheet
    • How to solve a simple mathematical problem

    Examples

    Hands-on Introduction to Personal Computers: EEET 1026 – Introduction to computer Systems

    • Presenter: Hugh Considine
    • Planning, direction and support by Pramila Rathore (OED)
    • Created by the TIU AV Team using a range of professional recording equipment and software

    How to search using Boolean Connectors

    • Created by Sarah McQuillen, UniSA Library using Powtoon

    UDoMaths Demo Algebraic and Geometric

    • Presenter: Dr Jorge Aarao
    • Created by Dr Jorge Aarao using a Samsung Galaxy 4 phone

    Complex instruction

    Some processes are complex with many steps and a more structured and sophisticated video can provide an effective learning tool to assist understanding; for example:

    • How to use software programs
    • How to search library databases
    • How to perform a technical procedure

    Examples

    SAI Global - How to Search

    EEET 2018 Practical Lab Demonstration

    • Presenter: Min Teng
    • Planning, direction and support by Pramila Rathore (OED)
    • Created by the TIU Audio Visual Team using a range of professional recording equipment and software

    Simple information delivery

    The delivery of basic information and capacity to appeal to varied learning styles can be achieve through video; for example:

    • Welcome and introduction messages
    • Student testimonial
    • Interviews
    • Assessment feedback

    Examples

    ENR 101 Course Introduction

    • Presenter:  Dr Kevin White
    • Created by the TIU Online Educational Designers using the Mawson Lakes green screen studio and Camtasia

    • Concept design and post-production by Maria Chilvers
    • Presenters: Liz Price (interviewer) Deb Surman (interviewee)
    • Created by Liz Price and Deb Surman with assistance by Hayley Timms in the Playford Studio

    Complex information delivery

    Complex information delivery using video may required greater production design and sophistication of equipment and software; for example:

    • How to solve mathematical equations
    • Explanation of theoretical concepts

    Examples

    ENR 101 Matrice Manipulation Examples

    • Presenter:  Gary Lockwood
    • Created by the TIU Online Educational Designers using the Mawson Lakes green screen studio with the Glass board

    Peer Reviewed Articles

    • Presenter: Liz Hounslow, UniSA Library

    Interaction

    Software is available that allow video to be created incorporating elements that allow students to interact with the screen for a more engaging experience.

    This can be as simple as clicking a link to go to a related website or clicking screen components that provide interactive elements within the video. Interactive video can be used to assist:

    • Understanding of simple and complex information
    • Deliver with simple and complex instruction
    • Knowledge acquisition through exploration and engagement

    Examples

    Module 1: Graduate Certificate in Working with Older People

    • Presenter: Margaret Brown
    • Created using TouchCast by the uwseteam

    Note: To fully experience the interaction in this video, launch the player in full screen mode (icon in bottom right corner) and 

    click the various interactive components displayed on-screen.
