Moodle Proposal
As the only Video Production teacher in my school, I (and my students) are often called upon to create videos for teachers, administrators, and staff. The videos may be shown on morning announcements, on our educational access TV station, on the school website, at a parent meeting or event, at a town-wide event, in a classroom for a project, etc.
Production of these videos is a great learning experience for my students. However, sometimes, we get overwhelmed with requests and must turn down some of them. I would love to create a moodle to teach my colleagues how to produce their own videos, including burning a DVD (with or without intro menu).
I'd like to teach them how to take video (when they take their own, it usually is unsatisfactory in multiple ways). I'd like to teach them to upload their video to a computer editing software. Basic editing techniques would come next. Exporting the video and/or converting it to a desired format would follow. If a DVD is needed, we could cover that as well.
Some decisions I have to make include the following. Your input regarding what I include is greatly appreciated!
Should I teach them to use the equipment I have in my classroom, so I can help them as necessary? Or try to cover many types of software that are currently available? I spend about 3 periods a day in the video production room, and the room is free and open when I am teaching other courses elsewhere in the building. Several of my students avail themselves of this free time and can assist as well.
Should I include production and importing of separate audio?
Should I include use of the green screen?
Should I include production and importing of Live Type text?
Each of these add to the complexity of the moodle and are not necessarily needed for a basic video production.
