Produce Your Own Video Cases for Classroom Use: A Demonstration

Abstract

"Video-recorded incidents and cases are very effective for focusing class discussion on specific concepts. They convey visual and emotional impacts that written cases cannot rival. Although video recordings are commercially available, it is difficult to find precisely what is needed to address the specific topics you may wish to teach. Most universities have video production facilities and technicians that can produce excellent quality video tapes. Drama departments usually have faculty members and students who are delighted to apply their talents to useful projects. An instructor can be the catalyst and coordinator that brings these resources together to produce interesting and effective classroom experiences for students. Wright State University has produced a series of video-recorded incidents and short cases about specific concepts in basic management This demonstration will show some of these and tell how they can be used to stimulate classroom discussion.
