Conference programme
Please note that the programme will be further developed in the coming weeks and that it is subject to change.
Mainstream use of video in Higher Education
Plenary / learnLecture capture is one technology that has gone mainstream in many universities. However many people question its value in terms of innovation and much still needs to be done to make it really effective including making sure it is as open as possible to all students. And lecture capture is not the only video-based service that is going mainstream. Video in general is on the rise and not just for simple production formats. Join this plenary session which is all about video on the and off the campus in all its manifestations.

Coffee Break
According to wikipedia, the 'coffee break' allegedly originated in the late 19th century in Wisconsin, USA with the wives of Norwegian immigrants - but in conference terms it has come to mean the time when you meet old friends and catch up on news and developments.

Giving formative feedback via screencast
Workshops / learnParticipants will practice giving formative feedback on a piece of student work using the format of a screencast. We will experiment with Feedback and using a variety of coaching questions to provide a range of formative feedback. Participants will outline their own production flow to streamline this process. Screencasts created in the workshop will be shared and discussed. Bring a laptop with camera and microphone. Download Screencast in advance.
Following the workshop you will find all the materials available here.
This workshop will be led by:
- Zac Woolfitt, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands
European Project Incubator Session
Discussions / talkDuring this session open to members of the Media & Learning Association only, members will share ideas for collaborative cross-border projects including potential submissions in the next round of European Commission funding under the Horizon2020, Erasmus+ and Creative Europe programmes.

Symposium Part 1
International Centre for Innovation and Workplace Learning (ICIWL) Symposium
ICIWL supports practitioners in carrying out action research enquiries in their own workplace. In the process practitioners make their own unique contribution to the creation of knowledge by developing greater self-awareness, participating in decision-making processes in collaboration with others, and designing pedagogical and technological innovations that have the potential to transform their life and the lives of others.
Part 1: Workshop participants will be introduced to the action research enquiry process and they will hear from students currently involved in action research enquiries.
Inputs from:
- Edel Gallagher, Young Social Innovators, Ireland
- Pádraig Ó Beaglaoich, ICIWL/DCU, Ireland
- Laura Sloyan, St Aidan’s/ICIWL, Ireland
- Paul Mahon, Beaumont Hospital/ICIWL, Ireland
- Margaret Farren, ICIWL, DCU, Ireland
Demonstration
LECTURE+ - A data-driven and evidence-based platform for decision support
Pedagogical evolutions towards more interactive and collaborative teaching and learning, individual demand for more flexible training and education, and an evolution towards multi-campus teaching in higher education require solutions for remote and asynchronous learning that are as interactive and effective as face-to-face training, and do not introduce technological or psychological barriers. Current solutions such as WebEx and videoconferencing tools either do not meet these requirements or are too expensive for the average higher education institution or corporate training. On top of the ongoing development of a cloud-based and bring-your-own-device-ready platform for interactive learning, LECTURE+ aims to research, design, and evaluate a data-driven and evidence-based platform for decision support for teachers, room operators and learners in higher education and corporate training, geared towards improving learner engagement in face-to-face, remote, and recorded lectures.
- Ine Windey, KU Leuven, Belgium
Lunch
Lunch will be provided in the conference venue and is free to all registered participants. It will be served buffet-style providing you with plenty of opportunities to meet existing friends and colleagues. You can also use the time to visit the exhibition and demonstration stands hosted by various companies and organisations active in the video in higher education sector.
Student produced video
Presentations / learnMore and more universities are using video as an assessment tool as well as providing resources and support to students to create their own video based materials. Presenters in this session will explore various approaches to doing this effectively.
- Nathalie Charlier, KU Leuven, Belgium
- Derek Robertson, University of Stirling, UK
- Mariet Vriens, LIMEL, KU Leuven, Belgium
- Tom Foster, University of Sheffield, UK
What lecture capture needs to be a useful tool for learning
Workshops / learnMere video recording of a lecture, even if it is a very interesting and important one, is not sufficient for learning from it. Some additional content is required as well as navigational and other tools. Workshop participants will discuss in small groups the variety of learning needs where lecture capture might be handy. Next they will try to identify additional content needed. Finally those new insights will be integrated in a proposal for Rich Lecture Capture content and potential tools. One such tool will be demonstrated.
- Predrag Pale, University of Zagreb, Croatia
What works? Do It Yourself Concepts for Higher Education
Discussions / talkExplore and discuss a range of different concepts and approaches to production that are being adopted by universities across Europe ranging from complete DIY to other variants and practices.
During this discussion, Stef referred to the LIMEL KU Leuven training platform, here it is.
Discussants include:
- Stefanie Lietze, University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, Austria
- R. Robert Gajewski, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland
- Stef Stes, KU Leuven, Belgium
- Markus Tischner, Innovation in Learning Institut, Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany

Symposium Part 2
International Centre for Innovation and Workplace Learning (ICIWL) Symposium
The second part of the symposium will enable participants to come up with their own idea for action research in their own work context.
Closing plenary
Plenary / learnThis closing plenary of the 2019 Media & Learning Conference will consider the most pressing topics that have emerged at this year's conference and will provide an opportunity to discuss with participants how this community of practitioners, technical service providers and researchers can continue to network in the future.
Here is a recording made by Tom Visscher of this closing session on his smartphone.
