vlogging in education

“Podcasting and vodcasting, and their pending derivatives, are not fads. They are very real and very practical distribution technologies. The ability to time-shift content versus traditional broadcast distribution models expands student teaching and learning opportunities significantly. The supporting technologies are relatively inexpensive and surprisingly easy to use – in fact easy enough to use that faculty and students will begin to actively produce and distribute content through this medium by summer semester 2005.

Peter Meng, a Technical Business Analyst at the University of Missouri, just published a white paper (PDF) on the potential impact of vlogging technologies in education.

Yes, students and teachers would be able to vlog ongoing “research” for their peers. But I like the idea of having my own students of Film History tune in to a lecture my Robert Sklar or David Bordwell.

In this scenario, will academic status be determined by RSS feeds?

Adrian Miles’ ongoing research on video blogs in the classroom is a great resource.
