Video-Supported education Alliance ViSuAL

Background:

Video Supported Collaborative Learning ViSuAL -project was build on the facts that in teacher
training and education in general, seems to be lack of a workable pedagogy for the use of video-based
communication tools and platforms to support learning and professionalization and to
prepare students for a knowledge-based economy and society. In addition,
teacher education and training is not providing adequate pedagogical and
technical competence for using video-tools for collaborative learning.

The
ViSuAL-project aimed:

1)To
develop, test and validate pedagogical models and practices for video-supported
collaborative learning.

2)
To integrate the created pedagogical model and practices into the teacher
education and professionalization to capacitate future HEI teachers.

3.To
create, test and validate concepts for experimentation based pedagogical
co-creation in partnership of education technology designers, pedagogical
researchers, teachers and their students.

4.To
provide scientific evidence on the effect of video-based communication tools on
professionalization of teacher trainees to support the validation of the
pedagogical models.

5.To
provide an assessment tool for evaluating impact of video-supported
collaborative learning on professional development.

In JAMK the project was run by The School of Professional Teacher
Education. Two other departments were involved: The School of Health and Social
Studies and The School of Business.
