I’m participating as a guest discussant in an Online Teaching and Learning course this week. One of the learners asked me about the use of video in the discussion area, and I responded that I was actually thinking about video as a content creation-tool but that a person could start a discussion by linking to a video in the opening remarks as the point of departure for the discussion.
Students can create short videos and post them to discussions as an option for addressing a topic too—the technical aspect becomes where the videos reside.
I did just learned about an educator discussion group in You Tube about the use of video in higher ed: http://www.youtube.com/group/educational.
Group founder Steve MCCarty is an educator who has created extensive resources (including a podcast) for EFL in Japan.
You will need to set up an account at UTube to join the discussion the group. Though it appears a number of people have joined the group, there are a limited number of discussions and some videos.
