#5MinuteReflection 4: Video resources to support student achievement

In this fourth instalment of our monthly #5minutereflection, we will look at Video resources to aid student achievement.

Within the Science and Engineering faculty at Manchester Metropolitan University, we’re now two years into a project, initiated by the faculty PVC, Prof. Andy Gibson, to enhance the range of video support materials (aka screencasts) to support undergraduate students.

Originally 40 units were targeted where I, as the Learning Technologist, worked with unit leaders to produce a range of examination revision screencasts.  This was mainly achieved with the institutions’ video streaming service, Kaltura (Branded as MMUTube) and the Kaltura Desktop recorder.

Using this, academics are able to record their screen and voice and produce a range of helpful and resourceful revision screencasts.
