In contrast to these synchronous applications this paper discusses the use of educational machinima developed in IVW virtual film sets. It also introduces the concept of media intervention, proposing…

Accessing and Engaging with Video Streams for Educational Purposes: Experiences, Issues and Concerns
Bracher, Maggie; Collier, Richard; Ottewill, Roger; Shephard, Kerry – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2005
Video streaming has the potential to offer tutors a more flexible and accessible means of incorporating moving images into learning resources for their students than conventional video. Consideration is given to this assertion by drawing upon the experiences of staff and evidence from students at the University of Southampton in the use of a…

Vallance, Michael – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2007
This paper describes a method that utilized technology to collect and collate quantitative and qualitative data about pre-service teachers' use of networked technologies during a 12-week undergraduate course, and the impact of this use on their pedagogical beliefs regarding the integration of information and communications technology (ICT). The…
