The purpose of this project is to create a mobile video solution so that professors can send the package to business professionals to gather their insights for presentations in their classes. Additionally, the project has evolved into a way to invite outside professionals to share insights and education from the live working field on video through other possibilites.
-Build instructions for the box
-Build website with sign-up, flow-diagram, and instructions by early April
-Market the Video-in-a-box technology in Fall 2003 to entire Marriott School Faculty
1. We're building easy to use laminated instructions with pictures on how to operate the camera and send it back to the center once the professionals recieve the video in the box.
2. We've done preliminary testing with a BYU student (Nate Orien)and Nate has done research with a internationally based faculty who is excited to send the system to Poland.
3. Nate Orien is the project lead and he will be sending the Video in Box out to Richard Dance (advisory board member) on Valentine's day (Feb. 14). Richard will be lecturing on a Business Ethics experience for the BusM. 492 course. This will be secondary testing experience and Richard will give us a review on ease of use.
4. We predict we'll have the first video back 2 weeks later and we'll apply it in the classroom and ask for feedback on how effective it was from both the teacher in the Bus. M. 492 class and from the students.
5. We will then send it to another advisory board member on request from an e-business faculty and do final testing
6. We recieved the Video camera back from Richard Dance and will testing his content in the Religion 492 course on April 15. This will be out professional testing.
7. We are currently building a website with a project description, with a calendar for teachers to sign up with, and with a flowchart of how the whole process works. It will be done in April.
8. Before the end of the semester, we want to advertise the camera to all the Marriott school faculty and have the website accesible so any faculty can request and use the video-in-a-box technology in Fall 2003
-Video-in-a-box tested in February by Nate Orien (proved functional)
-1st video lecture recieved from Richard Dance in early April.
-From Richard's evaluations, we found out that sound quality is a problem to be addressed. -Video was shown in Professor Beeston's Religion 492 course on April 15.
-Professor Beeston was impressed enough that she asked for a copy of the video.
-1st live testing and implementation successful.
We need the following resources:
- Digital MiniDV tapes Microphone to attach to digital camera so that sound quality is improved.
- Newer digital camera for better quality and to have this Video-in-a-Box option available to more faculty.
