Point of View Technologies in Education

16 March 2009 3 Comments

In June this year I am heading off to Sydney as the international guest speaker at AUPOV.

AUPOV is;  the “inaugural networked technologies event showcasing the use of point-of-view technologies in educational organisations and related workplace training industries.”

Over the next term I will be trialling a brand new POV technology with some of the teachers I am working with.

One of the best things about my job this year is that I am able to work with so many different teachers across such a wide range of the curriculum.  While most of my work is supporting secondary school teachers to develop strategies for eLearning, I am also lecturing a first year Media Studies paper and continuing to present the findings of my research, and ideas for eLearning in the classroom at both curriculum based conferences and ICT or eLearning specific conferences; and, I am still studying towards my Masters in Education…

So… I have lots of educational contexts in which to trial this new technology.  At the moment the areas I am specifically keen to explore are Learning Support, Science and Physical Education… watch this space!

    Thanks for your comment

    POV technology means point of view technology - The glasses the guy in the photo is wearing record both video and sound - so you can easily record a process as you do it and use this as a teaching aid - I’m not sure if you can do it at this stage - but would be great if you could stream the video straight to a projector.

    Hi Toni,

    There is a wireless camera that we use to stream video straight from the camera to the LMS (we have developed a Moodle plugin that we are currently testing with clients)

    There will also be a stand-alone player that you can use to project anywhere.

    Looking forward to catching up at AUPOV and discuss mobile learning.

    Cheers,
    Leo
