Digital skills for collaborative OER development/Digital skill challenges/Video remix tasks


 * 1) Plan a video or screencast of no more than 4 minutes for inclusion in the course materials you are developing. Examples to think about:
 * 2) * A video signpost to introduce a topic and to establish rapport between the author of the materials and prospective learners
 * 3) * Demonstrating a skill or technique
 * 4) * Providing tips or guidelines for preparing a complex activity or assignment
 * 5) * Guidelines or motivation for mastering a difficult concept
 * 6) * A screen cast illustrating how to use software, complete an online task, or generate an audio track for a few slides
 * 7) * A compilation of snippets of existing OER video from leading thinkers in your field
 * 8) Develop a simple text-based story board for your video to determine the sequence of ideas.
 * 9) * For ideas on how to get start with your plan, consider downloading Mel Aclaro's two-column storyboard template.
 * 10) * Script what you plan to say.
 * 11) * Identify useful visual material.
 * 12) Create your video or screencast.
 * 13) * Incorporate a minimum of two existing OER assets (images, audio tracks, or video). Note the license, metadata, and url for attribution purposes.
 * 14) * Hardware: We do not require high-end video production for this learning challenge.
 * 15) ** You can use a computer webcam or the video recording function on a personal digital camera or smartphone.
 * 16) ** If you don't have a camera, consider creating a screencast using an online service like Screenr. If you use Screenr, remember to publish your screencast to YouTube and apply an open license.
 * 17) * Software: You can use any available video editing software.
 * 18) ** There are a number of free video editing programs you could use (see for example here.)
 * 19) ** You may want to use YouTube's online video editor. Note you can remix any YouTube video with a Creative Commons license, which is an easy way to generate snippets from longer videos.
 * 20) * Investigate a few Creative Commons videos to see how material reused in the video is attributed, usually displayed in the credits at the end of the video.
 * 21) Publish your video online using an open content license. Note that if you are using YouTube, you will only be able to remix resources licensed under a CC BY license and your derivative work must be licensed under a CC BY license.
 * 22) Remember to share your learning journey with our community by posting regularly on  and include the hash tag "" where appropriate.
