VAULT Video: A Unique Learning Tool Dr. Andrew Mitchell Division of Sport, Health & Exercise

Thanks LTI: –Small Scale Innovation Award Dominic Bygate: –ESCAPE Project: Effecting Sustainable Change in Assessment Practice and Experience Helen Barefoot and Mark Russell Emma Moloney

Evolution ESCAPE Project provided Flip cameras (L6 S&C) Students videoed their own exercise techniques With an aim to develop a library of video clips that could be used as a learning resource Positive student feedback Limitations in expertise, equipment and technique

Rationale Sports Science and Sports Therapy modules (L4-7) Learning complex exercise techniques Students cannot master techniques using the images provided in lecture slides or handouts Study groups Distance learning option required

Aims To increase flexible learning opportunities for students (LTI) To develop an online library of video clips used to facilitate student learning on sports science and sports therapy modules across levels 4-7 To use video as an assessment tool

Focus Group Undergraduates Postgraduates Facilitated by AM Student centred Diverse needs

High speed video cameras Tripods SD cards Video camera Digital video analysis software Kit Requirements

Digital Video Analysis Software Communicate Analyse Share Endless applications in learning and teaching

Communicate Visual and written feedback Instant and delayed Emphasise key points in a practical setting Capture, store and access video clips Audio and text comments

Analyse Compare up to 4 video clips at once Analyse movements Calculate speed and acceleration Demonstrate key points using on screen annotations

Share Create movies and media books Use in lectures, practicals and in the field Export videos and media books to CD, DVD, iPods, StudyNet or –Distance Learning

Media Books Enhanced video resource No Dartfish software required for students Printable Analyser options –Drawing tools –Audio and text comments –Key positions, timeline and data graph Sample Media Book
