Why? » Digital video is now a ubiquitous part of our daily lives yet it remains underused in education – especially for assessment purposes » The nature of the media itself presents problems - large files that are difficult to navigate, reference and share » The Big Red Button toolkit aims to overcome these obstacles by enabling users to identify and share extracts from video resources in the form of ‘virtual clips’
Why? # 2 » Works on tablets, smart phones and PCs » capture and share authentic evidence of knowledge and skills in workplace and community settings and submit for assessment. » More flexible and inclusive forms of assessment » Evidence for; improving employment opportunities, meeting regulatory requirements, recording personal development and supporting career advancement.
Clipper: In a nutshell “making video and audio as easy to work with as text” » Clipper 1. 2. 3. 1. Clip : Create a virtual clip (i.e. source file, start and stop point) 2. Organise : Annotate and store clips and cliplists 3. Share : Cool URIs for sharing playable clips and cliplists

Phases 1 and 2: Community feedback » Phase 1 › “ it’s genius, it’s just what we need ” – Gill Hamilton: Digital Access Manager, National Library of Scotland » Phase 2 › “ with these sort of annotations on the clip, then I would be using nothing else for the rest of my life ” – Peter Hohenstein: Group Leader, Developmental Biology, Roslin Institute › “ getting that 360 degree picture of a research output would be really useful if it was easy and not the pain that it is today ” – Marc Silberschatz: Theatre Researcher, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

RCS pilot: Demo & Hands-on http://clippertube.com/rcs/dip clipper30
RCS pilot: Demo & hands-on » RCS Pilot Scenario › re-use of cultural media collections in open education » Workflow › create and open a new project › add multiple source files to the project › preview the files and create clips › add annotations to clips › sharing clips to cliplists
Discussion & feedback » Reactions? › Uses? Pros? Cons? Usable? Improvements? » Implications for academic practice? › Overcoming the limits of traditional textual and numerical information in education – in the context of assessment of practice-based learning. › Makes audio-visual information as easy to cite, reference and quote as text in academic discourse › Transgresses the hegemony of the written word in academia …
The Big Red Button: Next steps » Including education and training in our focus » Phase 3: › Rebuild prototype from scratch › Mobile first › Modern , open and scalable tech › Free open source code » Post Phase 3 - New projects and funding…
