We want MORE



Teachers learning new

Today some of our teachers trained to use a new M.O.R.E (Mobile Multimodal Recording System) with the help of Learn Lab from the University of Oulu.

Mr. Seppo Laukka, Adjunct Professor and Mr. Antti Siipo, laboratory technician taught us the technical use.

The system consists of a  LadyBug 360 camera, wireless microphones, A/D converter, computer and software to store and edit video and audio clips.





The purpose of the system is to observe students in the classroom and record audio and video either individually or in common. The 360 camera and software allows the teacher or the researcher to zoom any target recorded afterwards and follow one or more students.



During the session teachers found out many opportunities to use the system. Group discussion in co-operative learning, conversation in language learning, music lessons and student centered learning overall. It is almost impossible to get in the conversation going on in many simultaneous groups. The information teacher get afterwards is valuable in evaluation, improving learning results and of course making your own working methods better.

We are looking forward to see the real benefits after using the system longer. The first experiences are very promising.

Here's a short clip taken with the system. It looks like an ordninary video but it has been edited with the sofware and zoomed to the persons speaking. You can also make a flash version where you can zoom, move 360 and pick your area of interest while watching.
