Master's Program Video Library

Master's Program Video Library

PITFs Jessica Scott and Christina Dobbs catalogued the video then digitized and edited specific video clips. Each video was coded so someone could search key terms and quickly identify sections of video with the desired content. The library was used by four courses in the Language and Literacy program. Individual clips were integrated into the course site and were used to show examples of practice and as the basis for various assignments.

Teaching Challenge:

Faculty member Pamela Mason has amassed a large video library. The material is an excellent source of example teaching for students. However, HGSE students had difficulty poring through the volume of video footage to find appropriate footage for a given teaching topic.
