Instructions:
Stage 1 (preparation through the instructors):
– Create a closed forum (on Moodle for example) where students put the link to their slide show or their video
Stage 2 (production):
Individually, the telecollaborative partners create an audiovisual document (choice between commented slideshow with Voicethread or commented video with a video creation software) of a couple of minutes which presents their daily life.
– The document needs to contain the following information:
the accommodation, the transport, the place of studies, the organization of a " standard" day (meals, activities after the seminars)
possibly the content of certain seminars
– The document needs to cover a time range between 1 and 2 minutes
It is important to advise the telecollaborative partners to not read out a text prepared in advance, but to speak freely instead
Stage 3 (exchange):
Encourage the telecollaborative partners to react individually in form of comments to the presentations of their partners (the common aspects, the differences)
Stage 4 (wrap-up in class):
– Feedback on the accomplishment of task instructions: the content, the creation of the slide show, the relationship between the image and the comments
– Feedback on the quality and the spontaneity of the language in the productions
