Drawbacks

·        When it is used for training it cannot be tailored to specific needs since it has been prerecorded, therefore cannot answer questions as you go, as you would in real life.

·        The need of at least a dual ISDN lines running at 128kbps for videoconferencing or watching a training video.

·        Cost of having to pay for the high speed internet (unless the student employees use the library)

·        The need for a higher bandwith for optimal video streaming

·        It takes time to become familiarized with thousands of titles and video clips that are available online or in the local video library.

V. Netiquette- Adapted from the work of Nancy Flynn, 2006

• Think before you film (or write)
• Be discreet, be professional
• Do not use the blog or the video to let off steam
• Use appropriate language and be inclusive
• Do not create a post or a video anonymously, stand behind your post or video
• Do not comment unless you have something valuable to add to the video or post.

VI.  Creating a video using a video camera or phone

            First we have to have a video camara.  I have a sony personal video camera.  A good introductory camera is the Flip (www.theflip.com)

VII.  How to plan and prepare for a video presentation/conference or training

• Keep it short.  No more than five minutes
• Prepare props and graphics before hand.
• Minimize background distraction unless it enhances the educational product.
• Keep it simple
• Minimize unnecessary movements, use a tripod.
• Hire a sidekick to interact with the instructor
• If you do not have the time or the skills necessary to produce a quality video, then hire a director.
• Vary activities to spark the interest
• Vary the camera angle
• Move slowly and make smooth topic transitions. 

VIII.  Please refer to the Power Point presentation for information on how to:

• Edit a video using Windows Movie maker?
• Create iPod video files using Windows Movie maker. 
• How to upload the video on the web?
