Video Presentation
In this video presentation, the technology tools used are
Windows Live Movie Maker, YouTube, Sound Recorder and Microsoft Powerpoint. The
hardware for live video recording of the keynote speaker was Sony FX-50
camcorder. Most of the pictures were captured during a training session I held
for adult learners.
Aderonke,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed watching your video on adult learners. I particularly liked that you were able to incorporate images from an actually training session. You included a creative link for the prompt that this video should introduce a speaker at a conference. The pacing on the voiceover and speaking section was deliberate and allowed me to listen and process what you were saying. I was especially glad that you did not go too quickly for me to understand what you were saying. The comment you made about problems specifically related to Africa made me realize what a challenge distance learning can still be for many people.

Thanks for your feedback. I had to consider global diversity, especially in terms of varying accents. I appreciate your observation that my unhurried pace is to enable many people understand the voice narration. We cannot compare distance learning in developed and developing or underdeveloped countries. There is access to speedy internet connectivity, but the cost is too enormous that a typical organization cannot afford it, talk less of an individual. Amidst of all these challenges, most learners still break even by working extra hard to achieve the learning outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your video on adult learners. I will have to say that I did have a hard time understanding the video and had to watch it several times. However this was a good thing because it made me realize that the world is not all the same and made me more aware of the culture differences. Therefore I need to take in to consideration that when I am doing a video I must not use "Arkansas Talk". LOL
ReplyDeleteI am sure the hard time was the accent. Initially, I thought of using xtranormal tool, where you can get narration in a specific human accent. How do you cope during the Walden residency with mixed multitude?
ReplyDeleteAgain, I really appreciate the effort you put into your video. I think having access to and using an actual expert in the field of learner motivation was an ideal touch. I also never consciously thought about access to computers with dependable Internet connectivity as a possible deterrent for learning. I understand how that can cause major frustrations when trying to complete assignments. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like the content and ideas you presented. While there are more issues with connectivity worldwide, the essential truth is the same: motivation to learn. Having worked in an adult education program I was proudest of those who put in the effort. One student was i his 80's and still working on his HS diploma! That's dedication, and motivation!

Motivating adult learners come in different forms. In 2008, I did an online master degree program. When I attended the residency, I met a 68-year old woman and 76 years old man. Believe it or not, it triggered my determination to succeed amidst several challenges. I was highly motivated.

ReplyDeleteGreat job with your video! I liked the way you included the interview with the expert. Many presenters do not take into account that not only children have to be motivated, but adults have to be motivated also.

Dear Aderonke,
ReplyDeleteI liked very much the introduction of your video. I hope that you don't get offended by my comments, but I am a very bold and honest. If you are a keynote speaker, you are in command of introducing, setting the mood and eliciting the interest of a specific topic. The lady who spoke for over 4 minutes in your five-minute video has such a heavy accent that I could not understand more than two words from her speech. She was sitting on a chair for the whole four minutes without making any movement beside her lips. I also have a very heavy accent, but I really try to reach my audiences. That is why I always include the written portion on the slides. Many people might feel bothered by my accent, voice, or just simply don't understand me, so I ALWAYS provide them with words along with the narration. Secondly, the video was supposed to be about introducing a subject, and you did an awesome job at the beginning using graphics, music and a friendly user narration, but that lady speaker took over 80% of your presentation with a monolog of and monotonous speech. It could have been the best speech of her life, but I didn't understand more than
two words from her dialog. I am an extremely ADHD type of student, and if you don't show me graphics, interactions, or exciting sound, I will be taking a bathroom break. I am just trying to encourage you to improve your future video presentations and more so if they will be talking about engaging adult learners. And besides the point, who was that lady? You never mentioned her name, title, or expertises. Love the introduction. Best Luck.

Thanks for your feedback. However, her name, title and expertise was mentioned in my introduction. Probably, I should have included the printed text while she was talking.
