Part II & III

I chose to use Jing for my instructional video presentation. Jing allowed me to video my staff training on how to update and add information in our Student software, RtI section. I chose to create 3 video parts Adding Referrals, Interventions and attachments. I was then going to uploaded it into Moviemaker to create 1 video with introductions and transitions. I enjoyed using Jing and found it easy to use, the difficult part was that it is saved as a swf and cannot be uploaded to moviemaker. After hours of watching tutorials downloading and uploading, nothing has worked. I'm thinking it should be easier than what it is. I believe that once it's done it will be a valuable resource for my staff to view and revisit when needing a refresher of the process. I originally had planned to have this done as all screen shots with the information on the slides. I believe that this is a better choice because it is actually done, they can watch and see where I am clicking and in real time what it would look like when they click on those segments. So for now I redid it as one screen cast and it was really difficult to fit it in under 5 minutes.

Taking into account Adult learning theory and Swisher's Multimedia principal of student's learn better from words and pictures, rather than words alone.  Also, taking into account the temporal contiguity principle is also the same, yet different within these instructional multimedia tools.  This principle states that when a learner receives information both visual and verbal close to the same time, the result is better learning.  When creating a a video, and instructor must keep in mind the pacing of the video and the rate at which new information is given. When redoing the video to include it all information at once the pacing is too fast for someone who hasn't add information before, yet the bonus is they can pause and rewind several times which they wouldn't be able to if I was talking live with them .
