Hello, hello, hello! E-Tech in the house! 🙂
For week 5, we had our technology in education with Mdm Hazrati and Mr. Helmi.
Dr. Rosseni was unable to be with us because she had to give talk on Multimedia e-Content, as what she informed us in our FB group. Even she was unable to be with us, but still…..she’s monitoring us.
Okie… Move on to our main topic for this week.
Lesson 1:
This lesson was conducted by Mdm Hazrati.
What is Instructional Design (ID) Model?
Well, it is the process or a procedure by which instruction is improved through the analysis of learning needs and systematic development of learning materials. Technology and multimedia always be the tools used by the instructional designers for the purpose of enhancing instruction. Plus, it facilitates the transfer of knowledge, skills and attitude to learners.
ASSURE Model
ASSURE Model is one of the ID model.
As we can see from the chart above, The ASSURE model consists of 6 components.
The 6 components are :
i) Analyze learners,
ii) State objectives,
iii) Select media and materials,
iv) Utilize media and materials,
v) Require learners’ participation,
vi) Evaluate and revise.
Do you know that?
ID-Instructional Design is the best way on presenting learning materials.
As a future teacher, we should learn this ID so that we can apply it in the future, especially to improve our teaching skills and give extra way for students to learn better if they do not get the lessons in the class.
Another suggested models:
1) ADDIE model
2) Dick & Carey model
3) Smith & Ragon model
Lesson 2:
This lesson was conducted by Mr Helmi.
Three Composition of Video Shot
i) Close-up shot (CU)
Focus was put more towards the subject not the background.
ii) Middle-Shot (MS)
Apply the same focus on the subject or the background.
iii) Wide Shot/Long Shot (WS)
Background was the domain of the shot. This technique can be applied when we want to shot the overall background where the scene happened.
Now, Let’s Discover about The Angle of Video Shot! J
i) Normal Angle
The camera is positioned at approximately the subject’s eye level. The normal angle refers to the subject’s position, not the position most comfortable for you while taking picture. If we were shooting a group of children then a normal “adult” angle would be too high. In a case like this we should lower the camera.
ii) High Angle
In a high angle shot, we placed the camera above the eye level, with the camera shooting down on the subject. A high camera angle is useful for showing the audience an overview of our scene or shooting area. A high camera angle tends to make the subject appear smaller in size and stature. Looking down on a subject usually suggests a feeling of loneliness and a lack of power.
iii) Low Angle
In a low angle shot the camera is positioned below the eye level, with the camera shooting up at the subject. If we are shooting up from a low angle, we can make the subject appear larger and suggests a feeling of power and dominance.
iv) Zoom
A single shot which moves towards a particular subject. We use zoom-in to show focus to one object, while zoom-out to show the overall scene. However, be careful with the zoom because sometimes it makes our shot unrealistic and we need to be careful while handling it.
v) Pan
The horizontal movement of a camera from left to right or vice versa where the camera base or the cameraman is static. The common term that we use is pan-left and pan-right. Usually we use pan to capture the fast movement of an object. The next one is tilt.
vi) Tilt
Almost the same as pan but the direction is different, which is vertical. In other words, tilt is a camera movement in which the base remains stationary but the head of the camera moves up and down. The term that we used is tilt-up and tilt-down.
vii) Dolly
A realistic movement where the whole camera is moves approaching or away from the camera towards the object using wheeled tripod. Dolly is platform on wheels, which a camera can be placed in order to allow more freedom of movement during filming. It is not restricted to a simple rectilinear movement. In other word, it is used to follow action. The term that we use is dolly-in and dolly-out. Last but not least is truck.
viii) Truck
Shot has the same movement as dolly but the direction of the camera is different, that is from left to right or another way around. The term is truck-left or truck-right. Truck shot is totally different from pan shot because in truck shot, the camera was moved and at the same time, angle of the video shot change.
What is Quick Response (QR)?
QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone.You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone’s t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet.
The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can scan them.
There are some videos on how you can use QR codes to benefit search marketing.
We are very sure that, by using technology and ICT the process of learning would become more interactive and effective.
Have a nice day! 🙂
