The 6th EDIT \u2013 Educational Video Challenge<\/a> was organised from November 20-28. The event took place both online and in several different countries at the same time. The challenge itself, the time frame, the learning material and the assessment process was the same for all the participating universities. Local coordinators and the international jury had been preparing the challenge for several months but the actual production of videos and jury process happened in just a couple of days. Some groups worked during their school hours, others during their free time. The EDIT 2019 award ceremony and the screening of the shortlisted videos<\/a> was broadcast LIVE<\/a> on Youtube from Linz, Austria. Several local audiences were watching the screening at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people who participated in the EDIT challenge are mainly student teachers from different European universities but this hackathon model of video production is suitable for any field of education and learning. As well as these student teachers, EDIT challenges have also involved students from different study programs including audio visual communications, special needs education and social studies.

I have noticed that lecture captures, topical videos and how to-videos seem to be most common types of educational videos. EDIT participants, and educators and students in general are encouraged to use videos in versatile ways – videos can provide tools to move from teacher centric towards more student centric learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think in the next few years we will see more video essay type of films or reflective pieces where the makers create a video of their own learning process. But there\u2019s a challenge in that. The grammar of written text is pretty extensively taught throughout the school years. The language and grammar of video and the degree of media literacy required to really understand the language of video is still a fairly new thing for many teachers. How are videos seen and read? How can we utilise video in the best possible way for instruction, creating content, supporting and assessing student\u2019s learning? How are technical and creative choices taken into consideration? These sorts of issues pop up all the time in EDIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the EDIT challenge the participants and the jury have to understand the educational value of the video and how the video fits into a pedagogical process. But the technical and creative choices have to be considered as well \u2013 at a minimum they should not distract from the educational message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
