- Investigating Digital Video Applications in Distance Learning Kukulska-Hulme, Agnes Foster-Jones, Juanita Jelfs, Anne Mallett, Elizabeth Holland, Dawn Residential Schools Open Universities Online Courses Library Networks Distance Education Foreign Countries Electronic Libraries Library Automation Video Equipment Computer Uses in Education The paper gives a brief overview of the use of digital video in distance education, the background to The Open University's Digital Video Applications (DiVA) Project, the contexts in which the Digital Video Library system is being used and some evaluation findings. Through DiVA, the university is investigating how it can use its video assets effectively, to support reuse of existing materials in course production. The project team is also evaluating student use of the system. The paper reports on an observation study which revealed several usability issues and stakeholders' opinions about potential uses of the DiVA system. This is followed by findings from an evaluation of student use of the system at a residential school and its use as part of an online learning activity undertaken by students accessing the system remotely. Evaluation findings to date indicate some quality and workload issues but they also show opportunities that come to light when using the DiVA system.
