In this interview with Daniel Bennet, videographer, we discuss how to get the best results from a lightboard. Dan has been producing videos for our new MSc Cyber Security, with Dr Konstantinos Mersinas from Royal Holloway, University of London.
How we used an assessment technique called adaptive comparative judgement to help learners distinguish between good and bad interview practice, and how we used a novel animation technique to create video on a budget.
Here we share how we taught sensitive subjects online by developing an animated forensic psychology case study which uses stylised illustrations, narrated by a voice emulator.
