This document discusses how to repurpose event videos and presentations into online learning assets. It recommends capturing content from employee meetings, trainings, and other events. Content can be captured using cameras and microphones then trimmed and compressed using free tools. The captured video and slides are assembled into an interactive online presentation using software that allows adding footnotes, chapters, and other features. Finally, the presentations can be distributed individually or organized into learning galleries for on-demand access as durable e-learning resources.

- 2. Our agenda today Designed vs. captured learning content Where does captured content come from? On-demand presentations: what’s possible How to capture How to create How to store, distribute, and build into collections Your questions - 2 -
- 3. Two types of multimedia learning content - 3 - Designed Content Repurposed or “Captured” Conte
- 4. Why deploy captured content when possible? - 4 - “Interactive video content that once cost us $3,000 per finished hour to design is now costing $100-200 per finished hour to capture, without sacrificing effectiveness.” --Director of Learning & Development, Global Recruiting & HR Services Company

- 9. Most – but not all – captured learning content starts with two essential elements A good communicator/storytellerPresentation slides, charts & images Company: Alcatel-Lucent
- 10. - 10 - Company: Alcatel-Lucent Presentation slides, charts & images Searchable transcript or translation Dynamic reference links, footnotes, & virtual handouts Programmable zoom controlStreaming video (with high-quality audio!) Clickable table of contents for navigation Customized player templates to fit in your website Connections to Learning Management System Here’s what’s possible with today’s online presentation technology
- 11. So how do you get there? - 11 - Capture Assemble Store/Collect/Distribute
- 12. Capturing Video Learning Content Need to capture both the narration and the slides so they can be put together Approach varies by capture source Content you capture yourself Content you ask others to capture for you Content that already exists and must be repurposed - 12 -
- 13. Tools for capturing video Record to card media like SD! Camera with XLR input is useful for events. Video tripods are different… fluid head! Plug into sound system. If you’re the only microphone, use wireless if possible; second shotgun mic for Q&A? CAMERA TRIPOD MICROPHONE
- 14. Tips for capturing video for presentations Ensure adequate lighting for speaker Prepare to track roving speakers Generally, shoot from waist up to capture both facial expressions and hand gestures Include screen when speaker interacts with it. Decide how you’ll handle live screen demos edit in shoot the screen Take notes on slide changes, other cues. - 14 -
- 15. When you’re getting video already recorded Get it in digital file form if at all possible (not tape) Compressed form is great, but: No smaller than 640x360 frame size Not less than 500 kbps bit rate Ideal format for online presentations: Format: MPEG-4 (.mp4) file, H.264 Frame size: 640x360 Frame rate: 30 frames/sec (25 fps in Europe) Bit rate: 496 kilobits/sec total (400k video, 96k audio) - 15 -
- 16. Three steps to re-purposed content - 16 - Capture Assemble Store/Collect/Distribute • Video or audio files • Slide deck files, other images/web pages • Synchronization timings • Supplemental materials and links • Metadata (descriptions, speakers, etc.)
- 17. You’ll need a tool for trimming and compressing video The good news: there’s a great one available. The better news: it’s free. MPEG Streamclip will: compress your video to “web size” trim the start and end of your video “normalize” your audio - 17 -
- 18. Three steps to re-purposed content - 18 - Capture Assemble Store/Collect/Distribute • Video or audio files • Slide deck files, other images/web pages • Synchronization timings • Supplemental materials and links • Metadata (descriptions, speakers, etc.) Footnotes!!!
- 19. Why are footnotes and reference links important? - 19 - They invite viewers to deeper involvement with the material They unburden the main presentation from material that’s of more limited interest They increase credibility by documenting sources They encourage exploration of more learning assets.

- 35. To summarize… Repurposed or “captured” content is a highly efficient and effective way to supplement your video learning assets. Repurposable learning content is all around us. Capturing content well requires some forethought, but is not “rocket science”. Modern tools are essential to creating online presentations that engage, efficiently Collections of online presentations can be assembled and distributed either through Learning Management Systems or standalone galleries. - 35 -
