Student-Produced Vodcasts as Active Metacognitive Learning

Reflections on “YouTestTube.com”: An Online Video-Sharing Platform To Engage Students with Chemistry Laboratory Classes

“…While students see this as a time-consuming task, it adds value to their early tertiary education experience by providing new skills and an opportunity for teamwork. Our findings agree with work by Litchfield et al that involving students in the production of digital video learning resources enhances experience in peer learning, teamwork and communication, understanding, and skills …”

“…Our findings agree with work by Litchfield et al that involving students in the production of digital video learning resources enhances experience in peer learning, teamwork and communication, understanding, and skills. 26 In our study many students were happy to avail of the benefits afforded by viewing videos of practical experiments made by colleagues in previous years, and thereby having a preview of the practical to be undertaken. While there was a level of reluctance on the part of some to make a video, others reported that meeting as a small group to edit and produce the final video was where the main learning gains were achieved.…”

An Interactive Mobile Lecturing Tool for Aggregating Learning Resources

“…Podcasting or vodcasting enables students to access learning resources whenever they desire, at home, on campus or while walking to campus or work, at any time that is convenient for them. Hence, they provide students learning resource anywhere and anytime [6,7].…”

Reflections on MLearning in Creating Awareness in The Study of Local Culture in the Malaysian Context

“…This researcher has observed no connection at all between content development and studentgenerated activities in mLearning within the Malaysian context. However, many researchers contend that local-content development can be aligned with student-generated activities (K ukulska-Hulme, Traxler, & Pettit, 2007) to mLearning content (Dyson & Litchfield, 2011;Litchfield, Dyson, Wright, Pradhan, & Courtille, 2010;Dyson, Lawrence, Litchfield, & Zmijewska, 2008).…”

“…Other capabilities of mobile phone applications are video streaming and video calling, which could be useful in improving the study of local culture. Students might later edit the videos, for example to create vodcasts (Litchfield et al, 2010) or screencasts for publishing on the Internet. .…”
