Editor's Notes

• #3: Very quickly – because we don’t want to eat into your play time: Helen: I work in the Library at the Open University and we have a dedicated ‘Live Engagement’ team whose remit is to use online technologies to reach out to our distance learners. We started experimenting with FBL last December and in May this year in the lead up to the general election we delivered a series of 5 minute long Facebook Live videos on ‘fake news’ which you can find the OU Library’s facebook page and on YouTube. Andrew: The OU Cisco Networking Academy team, used FBL to reach a large community of teachers and students. Discovering that FBL could reach teachers and students wherever they are, unlike many other traditional screencast tools. Using a combination of smartphone and open broadcast studio software. The team, created a weekly series of educational broadcasts. Supporting teacher education, as well as student engagement.
• #4: These are the workshop timings. We’re going to outline what we think are the pros and cons of Facebook Live, mention some alternatives, explain the equipment we’ve brought along, explain how to Go Live and then introduce the group exercise. Then it’s over to you to do some planning and filming in groups of 3 or 4 Then we’ll ask you to feedback on how you found the experience – and if you’re happy for us to see it – we’ll have a quick look at your video Finally, I’ve left a bit of time at the end of any questions
• #5: These are what we think are the pros and cons of Facebook Live I’ve put ‘Reaching out into student spaces’ in both columns because in the OU at least, there is some push back from students not wanting staff to infringe on their online spaces. However, I think it’s important that we are visible where they are, because… This comes to my 2nd pro – this is an already existing, widely used tool that we can use to engage with remote learners (and promote ourselves to potential learners too) However, not everyone’s on Facebook and there may be a bit of push back about us using a space that some people are now actively avoiding. But you don’t need to be a FB user to watch FBLive – someone without a FB account and a direct link to the video can see it … also FB has embed code you can put their vids in your content. Pro - Quick and easy (hopefully you’ll get to experience this for yourself in a moment) Con – anything can happen – but this isn’t necessarily a con! Pro – you can easily share and embed the videos Pro – works with other tools, like OBS, which Andrew has been using
• #6: There are other tools out there that do similar things. Andrew is going to set up OBS studio and one of the groups can form around him
• #7: We’ve brought along some equipment for you to use. All of this is optional - the��mics on modern smartphones are��really good. Gimbal – is my favourite piece of kit – allows you to stabilise the phone and is good for walking tours Tripod is good if you want to do a piece to camera on your own – saves you having to hold the camera. We also have a lapel mic, Bluetooth headset and handheld microphone. But as I said we’ve found that the mics on smartphones are generally really good. If you have to buy only one of these I would say go for a lapel mic When we ask you to split into groups, it would be good if you could get into groups depending on the equipment you want to use.
• #8: I took these screenshots on my Samsung phone which��uses the Android��Facebook app, but the principle is the same with the��iOS app I’ve printed out these slides and put them on your tables
• #9: I took these screenshots on my Samsung phone which��uses the Android��Facebook app, but the principle is the same with the��iOS app
• #10: Anyone with a Facebook account can create a Page. We’ve created one called SocMedHE17 – which you can find my searching for SocMedHE17 on Facebook, or via the link on the slide Please get into groups of 3 or 4 Agree a topic and approach, for example, you could introduce yourself and your work environment, introduce a topic, interview a subject expert, go on a tour Outline a script and aim for a live video of 2-3 minutes – no longer than 5 Do a rehearsal and then go Live. Remember to only do one take – it’s okay to be unpolished. Tell then when we’re going to move onto feedback (25 mins time)
• #11: 15 minutes, so divide up time per group accordingly Can we watch a snippet of your video? How did you find the experience? How might you take it forward?
• #12: Here are a couple of useful links. The first link is to a YouTube video which explains how to download your facebook video so you can upload it elsewhere or edit it. In the Library we use Amara to create a caption file which we then add to the video on YouTube and Facebook
