Using video to bring Literature to life

Practical tips and tricks for maximizing learning with video

Each day thousands of minutes of video are uploaded onto the internet and many more thousands are watched. Students today watch more video than any other generation before and yet the exploitation of this media has been limited in the didactic field until now. This seminar aims to demonstrate how traditional approaches to the teaching and study of literature can be enhanced by the exploitation of video and a variety of other multimedia tools, and how students can be engaged through a multi-sensorial approach, in the classroom, at home and on the move.
