Video Planning Document

Title of the Video

Finding Full Text: Library resources. http://www.youtube .com/watch?v=LNhLctQyGf8

Target Learner

Target Learners are distance education students.  It is expected that these students will be

self-motivated, and purpose driven.  Therefore, they will seek out this information, and want

only the facts needed to complete the task.    

Subject Area

Information Science - Information LiteracyLearning Objectives

The learning objectives for this video are adapted from the ASSURE plan created for the

lesson “Finding Full Text”.  Owing to the limited time requirements for the video, the focus was

placed on what to do if an electronic version cannot be found.  The objectives are as follows:

Students will learn how to:

Use Fusion Plus to locate ISU holdings and call number information. Use the Serial Solutions ILL link to fill out an ILL request for an article

Methodology:

Using the ASSURE model created for the lesson Finding Full Text and suggestions from

Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell (2012), the video was created with principles of instructional

design in mind.  The objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of the video and incorporate

behavior and conditions so that the learner knows what to expect.  This video is a teacher

centered strategy that aims to teach students a complex cognitive task.  

The media of video has several advantages; however, the main advantage for this task is

the ability to capture motion. Smaldino et al. (2012) recommend video to enhance the learning of

processes.  Finding full texts requires many steps that happen on several web pages and requires

the user to move their mouse to various points on the page.  A still picture does not capture

changes from one page to another and does not show the process in real time.  

Additionally, I closed captioned the video for learners with hearing problems. This was

done by converting the Camtasia caption file to a .svb file so that YouTube could read it. This

also made the captions searchable in YouTube.

Video Shots:

As this video showed the steps to finding digital full text, the shots focus on the screen.

All screen images, and video editing was done using the program Camtasia.

Incorporation of “callouts” (as the program calls them) add emphasis and make for a

more engaging video.  Callouts also work to bring attention to important information in the

video.

The video is organized by the method students should use when looking for material.  We

start with using Fusion to find the library’s holding because ILL will not order material the

library has. The students would waste their time if they went straight to ILL.  This organization

also goes from shortest to longest turn around.
