Definition

A short, interactive movie created for research instruction, outreach, or orientation. To build your own, see HELPFUL TIPS, below.
Example: The full movie and accompanying credits are also available.

Type: Video, Classroom Response System

Learning Goals: Especially recommended to help students interact with the learning material, give feedback, value or get excited about featured content, identify or differentiate between information resources, strategize approaches to research (such as critical evaluation, etc.), among other things. Caveat: Use judiciously; this approach requires that students will be motivated to watch an interactive, nonlinear, moving presentation. It may also consume class time.

Estimated Production Time:  2-3 months

Recommended Software: iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, or Final Cut, combined with Flash and/or DVD technology. Note: Hardware also recommended (clickers); contact Daniel Jamous (jamous@fas.harvard.edu) at ATG to borrow for use in Lamont B-30, where TurningPoint is already installed.
