Designing Video and Multimedia for Open and Flexible Learning

Аннотация

Whilst television is a powerful medium it is not cheap, as Greville Rumble has demonstrated, nor is learning from the medium automatic – as confi rmed by Tony Bates. The successful production of educational television or video and its integration into a course of study requires an experienced academic and producer, skilled scriptwriter and technician, experienced cameraman and sounder recordist. Such teams are expensive and there are few individuals who possess this combination of experience and skill; Jack Koumi is one of these people. Prior to conducting the Educational TV course at the UK Open University for academics/ producers from around the world he was a senior OU Producer responsible for numerous educational productions. His subsequent consultancy work around the world has given Jack a unique insight into the problems faced by institutions wishing to include TV and video materials into their teaching.
