Captioning

Embedded below is the video that I captioned. It is one of the shortest videos that I created as part of the training we provide to Intern Site Coaches in the district. A lot of the text and captions overlap, but the quality of the video decreased once uploaded to Youtube, so they still serve a purpose in this case. I used Magpie 2 on Mac initially. It wasn't too difficult to learn, however I was unable to open my video within this application (I had no problem with audio files). The final output is a xml file which must be added as a component of the movie and published within Flash.

Online Assessment

I have posted a quiz on Quiz Star with questions pertaining to the information covered in this course thus far. I only have 1 student assigned to the course, but everyone is welcome to try it with the user account information below.

I have never created a Rubric before, but I chose to set it up on a point based system where each point is equivalent to a certain percentage of the total score. It is as follows:

Total of 28 possible points. Each point is equivalent to approximately 3.57% out of 100%. The point level assigned to each question was set based on the questions relevance to the course. 4 points being the highest for questions derived from actual class activities or discussions. 3 points for questions derived from the text. 2 points for questions that are somewhat relevant. 1 point for questions having little or no relevance. This quiz is by no means representative of a typical quiz that I would assign to students in an online course. It is merely an example for the purposes of this class.

4 points= 14.28%

3 points= 10.71%

2 points= 7.14%

1 point=3.57%
