![]() The ease with which you can add this type of simple interactivity to videos in Camtasia 8 is one of the things I like the most about it. Here’s the link to our version of this flipped video, created using Camtasia Studio 8: Quizzes and Hotspots in Video You can watch this interactive video (link below) on your desktop PC, iPad and iPhone (may be prompted to install the Smart Player app) and all the interactivity should work just fine. She took a similar video and added 5 questions to it, each one also provides the ability to review each section before continuing. That is exactly what Mayra did for this post using the new Camtasia Studio 8 software. Now, imagine if we could embed these same questions right in the context of the video. Head over to TED-Ed and watch the “Flipped” video (link below), and then if you have a few minutes please go through the questions found for this video, they are located to the right of the video under Quick Quiz and then come back and continue reading. I think that TechSmith has been quietly building something very impressive and whether they realize this or not, I believe they have great mobile learning and flipped classroom stories. ![]() I have been a Camtasia fan for a long time, as well as a SnagIt and Jing fan and I’m also very impressed with the work TechSmith is doing on Mobile. This is precisely where I see TechSmith bringing a lot to the table, especially with the new release of Camtasia Studio 8. I really like what Ted-Ed is doing by “flipping” videos for educational purposes, however I can’t help but think how much better the learning experience would be if the quiz was embedded in the video itself within context, instead of having to watch the video first before taking the quiz, which is how things work today. A teacher provides video lessons to be reviewed outside of class, which in turn gives teachers more time in class to focus on higher-order skills. ![]() This refers to a method of instruction where classroom-based teaching time and traditional “homework” time are reversed (flipped). If you are new to this movement in Education, here’s how Ted-Ed describes the Flipped classroom: It’s no surprise then that video is at the very center of the Flipped Classroom movement. Take a video on YouTube or on Vimeo as an example, it works pretty much everywhere, you can watch it on a desktop computer, on a Tablet, a smartphone and even on that flat screen TV in your living room. Video is one the most ubiquitous multimedia assets today across virtually every screen. However, now that the desktop has been reduced to just one of many screens we have to develop learning for, coupled with the fact that Flash is no longer the ubiquitous technology it once was, perhaps video is about to play a bigger role in how we develop the next generation of learning experiences, that will be consumed by learners across a multitude of mobile devices. Perhaps this is why in eLearning we have always gravitated toward using tools that publish learning in the Adobe Flash format in order to create engaging desktop experiences. There’s been little innovation in video around interactivity and engagement as compared to what we may find in a Flash-based interaction for example. I mean we sit back and watch a video, pause and play it, and rewind and fast forward it, but that’s about it. ![]() ![]() For the most part it has remained a fairly passive experience. For all the mind-boggling stats we read about the video revolution, like how we are publishing video to YouTube at the rate of 72 hours every minute, and consuming over 3 billion hours of video each month, as well as other stats you can see here, video as a medium hasn’t really evolved. ![]()
