French Virtual Workshop
Submitted Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 16:35Description:
The French virtual workshop has been designed to reflect the structure, the content and the spirit of the face to face workshops, covering both the pedagogical applications of digital media and the production techniques required to design, film, edit and deliver digital media online.
The rich media approach - combining video material, photographs, synchronised slides and downloadable supporting documents - gives participants a feel of what it is like to design and produce digital media for teaching and learning and provides them with the opportunity to complete their own practical work. The virtual workshop can be consulted and followed as autonomous study material, or can be integrated into a tutored online course.
Year:
2006
Length:
7 modules
Table of contents:
The different modules cover:
1) an introduction to the VideoAktiv project and the workshops in general

4) useful tips for filming, from preparing a storyboard to handling a camera

Teaching Intermedia Literacy Tools (TILT)
Submitted Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 16:35Description:
TILT (Teaching Intermedia Literacy Tools) works within schools and community-based programs to teach young people the fundamentals of moviemaking and media literacy through hands-on training in video production. Programs equip young people with the tools to critically understand media messages and to create their own alternative media. Through a combination of technical training and hands-on experience we give students the means to gain a meaningful voice in media and to tell their own stories.
