Introduction
The aim of this exercise is to get creative and communicate something about Mathematics of interest to you. This document describes how to make one, and the assessment task to be completed in making your (group) video.
1. Form a group of 3-5 people of students enrolled in WMAT123.
2. Create a video of length 5-10 minutes describing an aspect or application of mathematics. You don't need more than 10 minutes. A penalty of 20% per minute will apply to video's of more than 10 minutes and less than 5 minutes.
3. Upload the video or link to iLearn (instructions will be discussed in class). The maximum file size is 50 Mb.
4. If your file is greater than 50 Mb then use a youtube link. Submit your video by Week.
Content
The topic of your vodcast may be any aspect of the content of WMAT123, applications of the material in the unit, or a mathematical model that uses material from the unit.
Your video should contain:
- some background of the topic;
- a conceptual explanation of the mathematical model being used, including any assumptions;
- interpretation of the results/conclusions of the mathematical model, and the insight this provides;
- some comments on the implications of the results and conclusions, including relevant comments on any social, environmental and/or ethical implications.
You do not need to include in "full detail" the mathematics underlying the model you study - emphasis should be on the concepts.
What is a vodcast?
A vodcast, or video podcast, is a video that you distribute via the internet. There are four types of vodcast that you can make for this assessment:
1. Video - Narration with fast moving images. https://goo.gl/yrn4eA
2. Slow-motion - Narration with stop-motion images. https://goo.gl/LPL5FV
3. Digital Story - Narration with still images. https://goo.gl/wo7se7
4. Blended Media - A combination or variation of the above.
Exactly what sort of vodcast your group makes, and how you make it, is up to you. However, it must be evident from the video that all members of the group have contributed. The evidence may be audio, visual, or another form. The simplest way to do this is perhaps a credits slide of some description.
