Multimodal Feedback Improving Visual Art Assessments by Combining Audio, Video, and Text or Why are we writing so much? Jason Leath Teacher 7-12
Outline • The Audience • Multimodal approach + application • How I use screencasts • How to make screencasts
Digital Natives • A person who has grown up using digital technologies, and is therefore comfortable with them and embraces their use. • Our students today are digital natives, so why aren’t we presenting information in a language they understand?
Social Presence Theory (1976) • How do we come across through a specific technology? • Inflection, Body Language, Tempo, ect. • Face-To-Face is the preferred method. So why do we write so much?
Kids Take Away/Why it works • My rubric conflict. • Why am I using video feedback? • What are the students gaining? • How has this helped in my classes?
Multimodal Approach • The transfer of information through multiple pathways. • Basically put, we learn better when information is presented in multiple forms because we are engaging and making connections through different senses.
Application • Video based feedback incorporates*: • Images • Audio • Text • Personal approach • Discussion of nuances • Pair with quantifying tools (* research available upon request)

Screen Capture: My school owns Snapz Pro X (MAC) $70 Quicktime will also work (the full version) Other free options (that are dual platform): • Jing. http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html (I’ll show Jing later) • www.voicethreads.com • Others that I haven’t used • http://www.screencast-o-matic.com./ • http://www.screenr.com/ • ….
Why Adobe Illustrator, Bridge, and Photoshop? • Adobe Illustrator • personal preference for creating the rubric • Adobe Bridge • Easily shows the whole student portfolio • Adobe Photoshop • The students edit their work in Photoshop • The best way to show their work is to use the same program
What if I am using non-digital sources? • Scan the work • Take photos of the work • Have students email you the work
What’s Next? • Cognitive Load Theory -John Sweller • Our working memories can be overloaded, soKeep It Simple, Stupid (K.I.S.S) – at least on the visual end.
