Video production

Video as teaching aid.

Before now the technical ins and outs of Streaming Video have played such a significant role in using video as a delivery medium that they have tended to dominate all discussion of its use. It is only more recently, now that we are seeing Streaming Video become a realistically straightforward proposition, that pages like this are more commonly addressing useful questions such as the pedagogic value of the moving image, rather than which server to use and how to get your media player to work without crashing your computer!

That's not to say that pedagogy hasn't been discussed before. TV and video have been spoken about since the 50's as a revolutionary medium for education, with film preceding them by at least half a century. A great deal of research has been carried out into the value of replacing the teacher with the moving image. These days it's Streaming Video on the internet that's being toted as the revolutionary medium.
