LSIS Research Development Fellowship (RDF) projects 2011-2012: Shooting the Messenger: An investigation into the effectiveness of using video production technology to improve teaching and learning
Principal focus of the project
The research focused on three lessons for learners with Profound and Complex Learning Difficulties (PCLD) where video was used to highlight specific elements of the lessons and allowing learners to use video recording equipment to engage with the lesson directly.
Areas of learning
What is this about and what were the main findings?
The research found that the learners had very different reactions to both using video and being videoed, with some learners reacting negatively to observing themselves on video. Both staff and learners needed to ensure they were fully familiar the camera's operation for the lessons to proceed as planned. Staff members confidence was also shown, if in an unfounded manner, to be affected by their self-perception of using the technology. Video editing also supported pre-loading the learners with a preview of a successful task ahead of their own attempt.
