Video-based Observation
One of the project goals is to increase the quantity and quality of instructional feedback to pre-service teachers through the deployment of a web-based video observation software. For this purpose, the College of Education has supplied pre-service teachers with mini-iPads (equiped with the TORSH Talent application). These iPads will record audio and video while mounted on SWIVLs, following the movements of the instructor. The video is uploaded and shared only with the pre-service instructor’s faculty guide and mentors to allow for specific feedback.
