Our school organisation is leading a shift in our pedagogy. A three part model that includes an assignment frame, a taught or direct instruction frame and resource immersion. Given that a lot of information is shared via a learning platform I wanted to find a way to include more media. Back in 2014 Youtube’s revenue potential was being questioned. Now we have the rise of the Youtubers, channels, how to guides, analytic sites, law suits, and 25 billion dollars advertising revenue.
Our students are well accustomed to digesting media. So I started to look for ways to present learning in a more media friendly way.
Requirements
Easy recording or animating. Files not too large so that they are easy to transfer. The output needed to be as good or better than just recording to camera. Facerig on the iOS met these requirements and offered a good selection of avatars.
