 Hi everyone, welcome to our video poster about Digiflex. A concept for short digital courses for commission education. My name is Anne Otte Stieg. And my name is Lena Lundgren. We teach at the Department for Media and Communication at the Milsveden University in Sundsvall, Sweden. Our university have worked with distance education for many years now. But a few years ago we started to feel that we wasn't up to date with the new technology. We traditionally work in a text-based, modal environment with strict limitation when it comes to images, videos and designs, etc. But our university also encourage pedagogical development. And around that same time me and Lena took a recommended higher course in scholarship or teaching and learning. And with the insights of the potential new role as a teacher and what learning really means in a theoretical perspective we was eager to try something new. And when we also considered the fact that we actually work at a department that teaches journalism, public relations and all these special skills that comes with it we felt that we really should be able to do this much better. After a workshop with reverse brainstorming we formed our project based on what we didn't want to do. A boring digital environment like the standard courses in Moodle that we were used to. No audiovisual elements and fixed start and stop dates, lectures and examinations. We decided to try our ideas within the field of commissioned education since there were less communicative and visual limitations there. Theoretically we had always had a more constructivist perspective which in our opinion enables more co-creation and sees a teacher as more of a facilitator than as a traditional instructor. What we wanted to do was to lower the threshold for our colleagues to dare to try something new and to not to be intimidated by digital tools or maybe just to transfer the ordinary classroom education into the digital platform. What we wanted to do was to produce shorter courses that would free start, free speed and easy access via smartphones and tablets enabled for the buying organization and their employees to combine the studies with their ordinary day-to-day work. Our pilot is set up as a WordPress page that you get access to after buying the course. Each course is structured in modules for smooth navigation. The page is designed to minimize long text and to create visual variation. All courses have a lot of audio-visual elements such as short podcasts or videos. Since this specific course is about videos for social media it mainly consists of just videos. The visual language and how we address the viewer have been important to us. The feeling should be more like a YouTube video than a traditional lecture. Här är ett exempel när kollegor Mattias har visat den viktigaste litenheten i videor. Så vad har vi lärt? Well, combining the scholarship of teaching and learning with skills in, for example, journalism and public relations is an advantage when it comes to framing messages and creating narrative digital content. A clear concept. The courses have this module structure with similar elements. The teacher can focus on the content since we provide the template and the technical support and that also reduces the workload for the teacher. Audio-visual elements is key. We expect that everywhere, so why not in higher education? Our concept, combined with the shorter videos and podcasts is perceived to be more modern. We advise everyone to look for inspiration outside the academic world. That's all from us. Thank you for watching. We look forward to talk more about the project with you at the conference. And please contact us by email if you have any questions in the future. Bye bye!
