Using Video Streaming In an Online, Rich-Media Class to Promote Deep Learning While Educating For Social Change

Abstract

In the latter part of this chapter, we outline the theory behind our practice. We discuss the factors that impelled us to rethink ways of creating online, rich-media learning environments, and move toward innovation. We explain the principles, ideas, and concepts that have grounded our approach and inspired us to embrace video streaming, podcasting, and advanced Internet technologies. We unpack a fundamental assumption: deep learning and educating for social change are made possible by an acceptance and understanding of the radical intertwining of learner, educator, technologist, and technology. In sum, we draw on our course to illustrate enactive, online teaching-and-learning.
