Microlectures 101: What, Why, & How? | Faculty Focus

See on Scoop.it - Education 2.0 & 3.0

Microlectures have three key characteristics: they are brief, personal, and interactive.

Online learning is so prevalent in the world today that I question if it is in fact still a trend. It is so ingrained in our world that it is simply our reality now. In considering this I chose to discuss a trend within the trend of online learning and that is the use of Microlectures. These are short video or audio presentations that focus on a specific topic. My first introduction to this medium was in my PIDP course where the instructor used them to outline assignments and provide a bit more detail, direction and clarity. I personally found this to be very helpful as I created my work plans and collected research materials. I would frequently refer back to video for clarity and to make sure I was still on track. I realized immediately that this was something I could incorporate into my own instructor tool box. I found an article online that researched the use of Microlectures in a flipped classroom. The research shows the benefits for students are they are able to work at there own level and pace, review content whenever they wanted and reference it in the future to help prepare for exams. It has also been shown to create better student engagement, more independent interaction with the course content which has been shown to improve the quality of their learning. For instructors it can help students be more prepared for in-class activities, bridging the gap between what is know and what is to be learned. It can also help to increase class time dedicated to activities with which students may need more direct and hands on help. The article stresses the importance of the effective application of Microlectures. They are most effective when used to provide very specific information on a topic in preparation for a new skill or project or discussion that will be taught in class, as opposed to replacing lectures altogether. To be able to effectively incorporate this trend into my classroom I will need to look at the content of the courses I teach and see where it can be effectively applied, then work backwards from my learning objectives to create a plan and a script. I will also have to work on becoming a bit more media savvy, which might very well be an opportunity for my students to teach me! This article included a great outline for creating Microlecture for anyone interested.

Doing and Undergoing: An Inquiry in Process

For this inquiry, I asked “What happens when I attend to process as I think about jewelry-making as researching?” To answer, I read; thought about how material, theory, and research method/ology become-together in the “doing...and undergoing” of art (Coemans, Vandenabeele & Hannes, 2019); memoed; made jewelry; and mapped. The result--four jewelry pieces and a map--are reflective and analytic representations of my evolving understanding. Their significance is largely personal: they portray my voyage so far in embracing process and experimenting with what research and my art-making could become.

The first piece, Thirdness, explores Manning & Massumi’s (2014, p. 56) concept of the third, the theory that an “inexpressable thirdness” results from the merging of two entities. As I threaded two wires in and out, I played with how two could become three. How, when allowed to become-together, jewelry-making and research produce something in excess of either. The second piece, Flight, is borne from the material conditions of this-place-in-time-and-space during COVID-19, when I was forced to look outside (literally and metaphorically) for materials to use in making jewelry. As I made, the winged seed evoked an idea, embodying the “liveliness” (Myers, 2017, p. 4) of matter whereby an art/object exceeds its boundaries, becoming event and co-producer (Goulish [2000] in Adams & Holman-Jones, 2017/2019). The third piece, (It’s a) Necklace playfully explores the boundaries of what jewelry is/could be. If we typically recognize jewelry by its content (e.g., gemstones), what would it mean to instead recognize jewelry by the process of its making? As I rolled, folded and glued, I asked what such a process-oriented ontology may open up for my jewelry/research. The fourth and final piece, Collective happening, experiments with the process and potentials of making-together. Initially, I planned an unfinished piece with an invitation for participation. Instead, 31 people provided 31 actions and materials from lists of possibilities. I assembled the piece from these directions.

The last component of the inquiry is a map that documents the journey through this inquiry. It includes ideas that I took up, sketches, and paths that I tried before abandoning. In this way, it functions as a collage: a bricolage with no entry-point (Scotti & Chilton, 2017/2019), providing the viewer the opportunity to wander the landscape of fragments and make connections across ideas and artifacts. In this way, it prolongs the process, inviting the viewer to continue the thinking-making of the research.
