VICARIOUS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OF CHALLENGING TECHNICAL TOPICS MEDIATED BY THE PROCESSES OF VIDEO PRODUCTION: A CASE STUDY OF SECOND-YEAR UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS Sean Anthony Lancastle, Southampton Solent University, United Kingdom This case study investigated
how a small group of engineering undergraduate students, working in
pairs, generated digital learning objects to illustrate challenging
topics within their courses. It shows that the students particularly
valued the ability of video to convey narrative effectively, and all
chose video as their learning object format. It argues that the
video production processes they employed provided effective
mediation for vicarious experiential learning. It also argues that
the composition of the pairings was important, with pairs composed
of students from more differing backgrounds exhibiting more
curiosity for their topic and more confidence in their status within
their community of practice than pairs with similar experiences. |
