Showcasing past work with proven success in enhancing student engagement
Our Digital Media Specialists Gabrielle Torreborre and Hywel Jones have a background in filmmaking, post-production and animation. They collaborate with academics and our instructional design team to transform module concepts into concise videos and digital solutions that clearly articulate core learning objectives. More than ever, our team is seeing staff embrace the potentialities of video and animation to support teaching and learning activities in their modules:
- Digital media can become a valuable online revision material
- Digital media can complement face-to-face teaching activities e.g. lab demonstrations
- Digital media can be used in pre-sessional resources
- Digital media is reusable and re-purposable e.g. safety or lab instruction videos can be used across year groups
The team can access the digital media facilities available in the Digital Media Lab. This enables teaching staff to independently record in a self-recording booth asn well as take advantage of lightboards and industry level studios. Visit our SharePoint pages for examples.
