Licensing and Learning: What New Research Suggests About How Streaming Video Can Support Student Learning Recording

Filter

The COVID-19 pandemic forced educators accustomed to classroom-based instruction to deliver instruction to learners at a distance, creating conditions for research on the value of streaming video content in support of teaching and learning. This presentation brings together librarians, vendors, and researchers to consider what findings from two new studies suggests about how instructors use commercial streaming video and how libraries can support instruction by providing access to streaming video. 

Dr. Dylan Ruediger will share findings from large-scale research Ithaka S+R conducted this spring regarding instructors’ use of streaming video in pedagogical contexts, and libraries’ decision making regarding streaming media licensing. Together, this mixed-method research project raises important questions about the necessity for alignment across campus around how video can meet pedagogical goals.

Dr. Adam Frost, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto, Scarborough will present data from undergraduate remote learning experiments evaluating the efficacy of streaming video to support scholarly communication, and students’ comprehension of scientific research. The results of these experiments demonstrate that students use and benefit from accessible explanations of primary scientific sources especially via video, which could provide a window into how librarians can better support the development of scientific and digital literacy skills.

Providing the librarian’s perspective around both research studies will be Lisa Forrest, Director of the Davidson College Library. She will share insights into how her SLAC institution is working to meet instructors’ needs for streaming content within the context of their wider acquisitions strategy, and offer actionable ideas that librarians might use to ensure that students have access to educational video content.

Michael Carmichael, Director Library Editorial at SAGE Publishing, will moderate and provide a vendor’s perspective on this topic. SAGE co-sponsored the University of Toronto, Scarborough research study and provided support to convene this panel.

From my work as a researcher in the cognitive neuroscience of vision, I observed a stark disconnect between scientists and the rest of the world. I am now working to bridge that disconnect by using rigorous experimental methods to produce evidence-based solutions to science communication that are both highly substantive and highly accessible.

Dylan Ruediger is a senior analyst at Ithaka S+R, where he leads a team studying the research enterprise. Prior to joining Ithaka S+R, Dylan coordinated a national initiative to better align doctoral education with changing professional opportunities within and beyond the academy at the American Historical Association. He holds a PhD in history from Georgia State University and a BA in critical theory from Hampshire College.

Michael Carmichael is the Senior Director, Editorial Library at SAGE Publishing and based in Toronto, Canada. He has over 20 years experience commissioning and editorial experience developing print and digital products for the higher education and academic market.

 

Michael joined SAGE in 1998 where he first spent many years developing textbook, journal, and reference titles across the social sciences. Since 2014, he has been overseeing the Editorial team on SAGE's streaming video portfolio and subsequently leading the strategic direction for the SAGE Video product more generally (http://sk.sagepub.com/video). In 2022, Michael also started to oversee the award-winning SAGE Research Methods product line for the library market working with a global product team (https://methods.sagepub.com/).

 

More recently, Michael has been looking at the world of virtual reality too and developing key partnerships – both academic and industry – from which to learn more about the potential of this technology to support teaching and learning in higher education across campus.
