Getting the picture: accessing and using moving images and sound
for HE and FE
A one-day workshop from ALT

Date: 27 June 2003
Time: 1000 -1600
Venue: Glasgow Caledonian University

Cost: Stlg 80 (ALT members), stlg 130 (non-members)
Booking deadline: 13 June 2003

Overview:
The increasing development of moving pictures and sound (also
known as time-based media) through digital libraries, collections,
custom-designed and built solutions as well as in-house
productions, promises an exciting opportunity to integrate time-
based media into mainstream elearning. It is essential to
understand the users' experiences and requirements, and the
issues and barriers preventing its use through research and
evaluation. The purpose of the workshop is to explore collectively
the pedagogic potential of using video and audio, and to investigate
how best we can enhance access and provide services to support
the use of these resources in HE and FE. The workshop will
include case studies, examples of the use of video in Health and
Sports Sciences and audio collections of traditional Scottish
music, as well as JISC current thinking, strategies and plans for
time-based media content development and delivery through a new
Portal.

Topics to be covered:
The workshop will cover a range of themes including:
* Users experiences of using and developing time-based media
* The educational value of moving pictures and sound
* The students' experiences of using video and audio
* Users' requirements for a time-based media Portal
* JISC current thinking on Portal development

Note this not a technical 'How to' workshop.

Expected outcomes:
The delegates will be able to engage actively with the presenters'
research and practical experiences of using, developing and
managing time-based media resources. The expected outcomes
are:
* to increase the awareness of the pedagogical potential for using
moving images and sound in HE and FE
* to identify the needs and requirements from the users for the
provision and development of time-based media collections and
Portals
* to provide an opportunity for sharing practice and user community
building

Who should attend:
The workshop will be particularly useful for teaching staff, users,
researchers, practitioners and developers, with an interest in the
use and provision of moving images and sound for HE and FE.
