Knowledge Clips

Short videos, recommended +/- 7 minutes, no longer than 15 minutes (exceptions, for example clips concerning a formula, are possible), uploaded to canvas, that generally meet the following criteria;

• Modular (can also be used separately, not only series)
• Reusable (usable for more years, content does not depend on timeliness, no references to course (name could change), date etc.)
• Compact (limited duration, information is given concisely, no double examples, etc.)
• Visually attractive (the image should change sufficiently, so for example no slides with four bullet points that are in the picture for five minutes without anything happening in the picture)

• As a way to supplement education outside of contact hours. This way, more time remains to elaborate on the material and students can be more prepared for class.
• A catalogue of explanations on both primary subjects as well as more complicated subjects that require additional clarification.
• As a possibility to test the knowledge of your students after receiving the information in the clips, by using an interactive video with embedded questions.
• To prepare for a feedback lecture.

The UvA has multiple studio’s where you can record your knowledge clips. Technical assistance will be there to help you. If you wish to make use of one of the studio’s, please contact the ICTO-team.

On this page are all the studios and you kan get an impression and some additional information on the possibilities in specific rooms.

Should you not be able to record your knowledge clip in one of the studio’s, then Kaltura or Microsoft ClipChamp are appropriate tools to use. However, this method is not preferred to due the decline in video and audio-quality.
