PURPOSE & DISCLAIMER & HOPE
For a workshop (online, regional,
hybrid, ...) or related activities about producing 5-minute
eClips, hybrid workshops, hybrid teaching/learning modules:
A. Provide
participants with:
B. Help participants
to:
-
Learn about some basic elements and
simple variations.
-
Produce an "eClip" (5 minutes or less)
suitable for exchanging introductions that include
enough information to help participants find partners
when forming small teams to work on projects together.
-
Demonstrate some of the of variety of
possibilities when different people produce eClips from
same starting structure.
C. Disclaimer
The process described on this Web page is not necessarily
the only or the best for accomplishing these goals. In
particular, other software tools which have more powerful or
varied capabilities may be available to some participants.
D. Hope
However, we hope this first "assignment" offers a
combination of structure and resources that is likely to
enable most participants to proceed quickly and successfully
through the basic production steps.
We hope that doing so will enable them to
feel more confident in forming project teams, in proceeding
further with colleagues and on their own.
We also hope this experience will quickly
provide participants with a more realistic grasp of some of
the capabilities and limitations we are exploring and
developing together.

ORIENTATION
Please answer these questions as if you were introducing
yourself to professional colleagues as part of a process of
deciding who would like to work with whom on what tasks of
common interest.
-
What do you want
others to know about you?
-
What would you like
others to answer similarly so that you would be better
able to decide if you wanted to work with them or not?
-
And, maybe, enable
others to identify the kind of topic or issue or theme
on which you might want to work with them.
Note: A PowerPoint slideshow
template is available for downloading and adaptation (from
the Quick Start Web page - see above) to help you produce
your self-introductory eClip as a voice-narrated set of 6
slides. Please consider these slides as a starting place,
to be modified to fit your own purposes and needs. Try to
keep your total time under 5 minutes.
