Kathryn Hoppe: How does temporal contiguity fit with the difficulty of processing complex visual (ex. diagram) and complex audio at the same time?
Charles Carrigan: speaking of modality, I can't keep up with all of this chat!
Scott Brande: Better to separate chunks in separate learning objects
Scott Brande: Captions shouldn't be shown with images in PPT
Scott Brande: important words ought be shown as labels on the image
Katryn Wiese: I agree -- text IN the image is even better... (shorter and only what's necessary)
Ron Schott: Would it have been even more advantageous to put the caption in the blank sky of that photo?
Al Trujillo: Ron, yes, that's exactly what I would do!
Scott Brande: Text should be labels connected to the object to which they refer
Al Trujillo: On this slide, I'd put the narration in a box to the right of the tripod...
Al Trujillo: If you used a semi-transparent screen, you could put text where it says "don't put text here" or just use a balloon!
Al Trujillo: Ex: For the previous slides, the credit is unncessary to include!
Al Trujillo: What was the answer to the question at the beginning?
Gigi Richard: coherence
Charles Carrigan: spatial - his face & name apart
Jenda Johnson: I would make the largest title on one line.
Al Trujillo: One thing that would also help is to have a balloon, which is like the symbol to the right on the chat line....>
Cian Dawson: ADA compliant captions are a specific tech, which is different from what we use as titles on screen.
Christian Benker: It has traditionally been shown with text at bottom
Christian Benker: I should clarify Im talking about Spanish/French not ADA
Christian Benker: I've learned a lot about designing video-audio media from watching BBC, National Geographic, and Nova science programs. These guys have decades of experience working with audiences and so have in many ways have masterd the art of digital-visual-auditory delivery.
Scott Brande: I have found that much posted video mis-uses sound/audio that conflicts with the dual channel theory promoted by Clark and Mayer.
Katryn Wiese: BBC/Nova = what we all want to create. What we amateurs create make a lot of these basic mistakes....
Katryn Wiese: I should say we don't all want to create BBC/Nova, but yes, they are the ultimate high level...
Scott Brande: John - this is an important point about distinctions between BBC/Nova video and the use of video in the classroom. BBC/Nova not only wants to educate, but wants eyeballs, which means entertainment.
