The ability to use video content opens new opportunities, not only to engage targeted viewers, but to expand the volume and nature of content. In a library setting, video can be used as a skills teaching resource or a support document within the context of a larger presentation. I am using short video (as introduced in this class) in support of a paper I am presenting next month. In addition, I will be using short video segments to add "personality" to an online course I will be teaching in the fall. Beyond using the same care you apply to any other "medium" of information, one must grapple with the "performance" feature of presenting in a video format. To do this, you must be brutally honest about your own "presentation style" - which can be quite humbling. Also, the "nature" of the content presented may determine if video is the best medium for presenting. I have some experience using the tegrity system and "live performance" does have its challenges. However, the rewards inherent in broadening your pallete of presentation options is worth the work. Video can also be quite humorous and reflective of changing "social practices". Take this video from UTube, for example. (:-)
