Video usage in elearning and instructional design is trending more and more. Along with the use of dynamic and interactive video content is educational live-streaming. One of our strategies as a center was to develop capacity in that area. Our journey has just begun as we take on that role of supporting and enhancing instructional design and elearning by having our own modest video studio by any pro standard.
The center I look after procured several video/audio equipment over the past several months. Initially, we never thought of streaming events however as the need for it came by we thought we had to step up. I've used OBS before so I knew we could do this. One challenge we faced was learning to operate the camera and audio equipment. Its exciting when you're learning something for the first time and know that you will get better at it as time goes by. OBS has become our go to tool and we're still trying to figure out some tips and tricks to master it. Well needless to say over the past few weeks we
have streamed several events including the first ever virtual open day
with some of these equipment. We have another few research symposia events to stream. We love the opportunity to try new things, make mistakes and learn.
Of course, streaming events requires a
stable internet connection and we're capitalizing on DWU's fairly robust
existing network infrastructure to do that.
Quite honestly, we were a bit wet behind the ears starting off, but slowly taking it all in and even daring to step it up a notch to improve our teaching & learning.
Learning never stops, you got to challenge yourself to grow.
In a later post, I will share the journey of the completed setup of the video studio and perhaps some projects we have done using the studio.
Meanwhile, here are links to events we streamed using the new equipment.
