Goals
- To identify proper and pedagogically reasonable ways of applying collaborative video in e-Learning (including learning also outside the school)
- To get feedback for the design process of tools
- Ideas for further projects of integration and concept development
- Software design (for the next ws)
Teams
f2f & distant members
SKYPE-meeting to team up
Scenarios
- Team-building for the project, collaboration with the project
- Key point of lectures, substituting writing process
- Video wiki: personal introductions, contributions. How to integrate? Tool integration!
- Presentations of persons and teams
- Documenting THIS project
Topics to shoot
Each group decides their topics within their overall group theme
GROUP 1: Group-making and introducing the members, scenarios in face-to-face and online conditions using the video tools.
GROUP 2: Collaborative compilation of project materials, scenarios in face-to-face and online conditions using the video tools.
Group 3: Presentation and evaluation of projects, scenarios in face-to-face and online conditions using the video tools.
e-Learning what?
-reporting as a communication skill
-story-telling techniques
-film or video editing
-binding diverse material, by emans of audio
-anthropological issues, e.g. local habits
Possible assignments
-Joint music video, starting from an existing piece
-Distributed reportership of something that is shared cross places and cultures: ecological concerns, seasons, music, technologies, news shocks...
-Repurposing existing material, e.g. from YouTube
-Locative binding of videos from different positions, using Google Maps
- Embedding videos to other media
Software
Special web-based tools can be applied in addition to standard video tools. Some kind of lightweight integrations of the two software may be developed.
Youtube

Videowiki
VideoWiki http://distance.ktu.lt/videowiki/ is a software developed on top of the Red5 (Red 5 server homepage, 2007) open-source Flash server written in Java and Flash video recorders / players (Red 5 server hompeage, 2007). The VideoWiki server is meant to be a place for recording, storing and playing back public video content. Recording a new movie is as easy as adding a link to it and then clicking a recording button, after clicking the stop button the movie is made available for playback instantly without any additional effort.
Features of the tool are the following:
• Add video posts to own blog with very little additional effort as compared to simple blog post;
• Add video blocks to any wiki page in a manner similar to adding image or linking to another wiki page;
• Record own video post;
• Browse and link to video posts by other people.
The Videowiki can be used in addition to simple blogging software as a substitute for additional video blogging-only software. In the distance learning setting it provides a great opportunity to record a videoclip of the learners with the purpose to introduce themselves to each other and getting to know. On the other hand it can be used for recording of talks, presentations or video messages in project-work situations.
In order to use Videowiki users should have loudspeakers and microphone connected to their computer. It is written in interpreted language with the web-based user interface. It works with any browser with Flash support. VideoWiki software is written as a Red5 server Java extension and client-side Javascript-Flash application set. This means it can be used by any users having a browser capable of running Flash. On the server side Java VM is used, so the only requirements for the server operating system is Java VM support. Essentially requirements for the server are the same as for running Red5. During system deployment administrator has to install and configure Red5 server and add VideoWiki configuration files and binaries to it manually. After that just copy all the .html and .swf files to the folder accessible from web also replacing all the video URLs to that of the newly configured server and run the Red5 and web servers. License conditions are the following:
• Red5 server – (Red 5 server homepage, 2007) Copyright © 2006-2007 by respective authors. All rights reserved.

Videos go to Kaltura server and the editing is done like wiki timeline.
OSE OntoSpace Exploration software
OSE OntoSpace Exploration data can be applied to order tagged video material spatially, for purposes of:
- selection from rich material, e,g., from YouTube
- to generate narratives on the basis of the spatial order
The prototype can be tried here:

Standard video editing tools
Format change? iMovie
Findings
Team 1
Skype-conferencing and Fooga go well together Lack of video Editing simultaneously? Bottleneck: upload Petri: Skype allows coordinating the work Using video editing softwares - mobiles - technical - more time Kaltura: Nice upload
Team 2
Great plan - tech problems Everything filmed, most of it uploaded. Editing ongoing... Olga found interesting articles (pdfs) ... Kaitsu has lots of features for the next version. Atlantic is another bottleneck. Interesting test. Clear tech implications for Fooga
Team 3
Pedagogical aspects: Wiki-ideas Evaluation group did most of the things... reduced the initial idea. One evaluation perspective. Missing features: audio control, switching sound off. Copying files for repetition. Fooga allowed combining audio and video tracks
Outcomes
Even ideal connections would be slow? Collaborative video changes thinking patterns - possibilities will have impact on pedagogy. New pedagogical methods, shouldn't start from old methods, but new functions to be discussed against theoretical backgrounds. Technological starting point? Nope, both same time to be matched.
Ideas for a joint Interreg proposal?
Process & artefacts...Pricess should be very well focused. Putting together technology, content and pedagogy
Hardware
4 video cams from Stadia
3 cameras from HTK
