TLEF planning
Possible models:
- John Green's "Crash Course" histories. E.g.:
- The Periodic Table of Videos (http://www.periodicvideos.com/). E.g.:
- Foundations of Chinese Thought. E.g.:
- Jessica Hallenbeck (Hallenbeck Consultants):
- Blue is the New Green videos for Karen Bakker's MOOC
May 4 Meeting
- Figure out what hardware to buy. I have $3000 for this, and will need advice from Angela as to what would be helpful for Arts ISIT.
- Video: Camera that Novak mentioned (c. $800)
- Audio: Lavier Mics x2 plus associated receiver (c. $1300) (Angela)
- Tripod/monopod: $150
- Lighting: No
- Batteries
- Decide on hiring RAs. I have two people identified already, though one can’t get going until the Autumn. So at least for the summer, I need someone, ideally with technical skills. Post this somewhere. (Where?) (Talk to people in visual arts?) (Steven Barnes?) (dept administrators?) (Will to investigate)
- Narrow down options for video production, both
- Software to use (and purchase if necessary?): Camtasia (second choice: iMovie)
- format (though these need not be uniform): May vary depending on type of video. Students to be given assistance, but also allowed to make their own decisions.
- look into Zaption / Pulsepress
- Make some decisions about the website structure
- Set up compare and contrast day (Novak)
Equipment Suggestions
- Video:
- Sony Alpha A6000 US$600
- Sony Alpha A6000 US$460 + one or more of:
- Audio:
- Shot Gun Mic: XM55 $119 CDN
- Dual Wireless Mic Systems: Azden Dual bodypack System ($760-$800) or Audio-Technica Dual Wireless Microphone System ($1,395 US)
- wireless microphone US$178
- Tripod/monopod:
- An SD card as extra storage. Depending on what you buy, some already have built-in storage but it may be handy to have another extra on hand in case you run out and don¹t want to delete anything you have already in the built-in storage. -64 gig memory card roughly $50
- Depending what equipment you purchase, if it doesn¹t have an onboard shoe for peripheral attachments (ie. microphone) you may need to also buy an extra external device bracket such as this one.
- A carrying-case or bag. Sometimes the equipment you buy won¹t necessarily come with one.
Software
- Take a look at one of the tools that we developed called CLAS. Novak briefly mentioned it in our last meeting but in case you don¹t know much about it, here's a link. It'll be a useful took for users to upload their videos and have the instructor/peers to provide comments within the system. The tool can be embedded within your Wordpress site. I can demo this tool to you the next time I see you if you¹d like.
