A Scientia Education Academy public lecture

In the age of digital uplift, teachers in the higher education sector are increasingly required to become media producers. However, few are actually trained in the field of audio-visual production and most have little knowledge of or background in the history and theory of the moving image. It is therefore crucial for educators in all disciplines to develop their audio-visual literacy. This is where the discipline of film studies can help!

In this lecture, Dr Langford will explore how theories and techniques of adaptation used in film studies can help us think through the complex task of transforming traditional modes of teaching for the digital age. Using lecture capture systems and screencasting to move lecture content online offer only a rudimentary solution. 

We need to ask how we can re-think the very idea of the ‘lecture’ to make better use of moving image media. More specifically, how can we make use of the particular affordances of the audio-visual medium in a way that best suits the needs of our vastly different disciplines?
