Soon at LSU we will have 3 studios (plus the new CxC conference room?) prepared to video small-group presentations. Would it be a time-saver to schedule some class presentations in our conference rooms, post the videos, and invite feedback from appropriate people (peers or faculty). This would satisfy the "oral communication" requirement that students prepare a presentation, get feedback on it, and then present the "final" version to the intended audience. Granted this is a simulation, but many of the things we are currently pointing out to our students in class could be done in a You-Tube-like (X-Serve on campus?) environment.
We (CxC staff members) certainly cannot supply adequate feedback for the growing number of C-I courses. How do we create an environment that yields good feedback and revision? Obviously, small classes make the oral communication requirement more feasible, but even those who teach them might have students who would like to be taped for the rehearsal.
We would have to do this on a trial basis with several classes to work out the problems. Suggestions? Volunteers?

i this is a great idea. i'd suggest, each studio space work with one class next semester. a pretty small class would be ideal for me since i'd have to do it in small groups of no more than eight people in the room at once and this would take up less time. i'm meeting with jeff nunn tomorrow to talk about his course for next semester. i'm gonna go ahead and pitch this as a possibility.
Great, Colleen. I think Jeff would be a great person to work with on a project like this. See you at the staff meeting. Working small in each of the Studios would give us a chance to compare notes.
in my excitement to talk to jeff immediately, i misidentified when i'm actually scheduled to meet with him. we're meeting on monday. i'll let ya'll know what he says. and yes, i agree he is an ideal candidate for such a thing.
i'm also thinking of a second possibility. if logisitically, the faculty feel moving their students in small groups into the studio is not ideal, we could potentially bring the video camera to them.
