The tips, tricks and challenges of Media Hopper Create

Teaching Matters Edinburgh

In this episode, four University of Edinburgh staff members, Jo Merrifield, Education Programme Manager at the Edinburgh Clinical Research Facility, Michael Gallagher, Programme Director of the MSc in Digital Education, Velda McCune, Deputy Director of the Institute for Academic Development and Brian Mather, Senior E-Learning Developer at the Veterinary school, reconnect to discuss the tips, tricks and challenges they've found in using Media Hopper Create.

The conversation begins with the group discussing tips. They discuss keeping your content short and succinct, taking advantage of a dialogic approach, thinking about what you want to create across before you record and finally involving fellow students and staff in a co-creative model. Their conversation then shifts to the challenges of using Media Hopper Create. How do we ensure the intended audience finds their way to the content? What about those who are uncomfortable recording videos? How does one bring intentionality to whose voices are being heard when editing content? While entertaining these challenges, the group manages to find quite a few silver linings.
