aclJohn's eAssessment Finds

BlipSnips, for those Learning Providers who don't block YouTube or Vimeo videos, may be a dream come true for NVQ Practitioners (Assessors/verifiers and the learners themselves)

Sharing a video is easy nowadays but what if users really want focus on just a couple of specific scenes (evidence) in a long video?

Traditionally, viewers would have to skip the video to get to the part required. No wonder Verifiers in particular didn't want to use video clips as evidence!

BlipSnips...

• is a tool that provides an alternative;
• lets users tag specific scenes in the video so the viewer can directly jump to that part.

To use...

• enter a YouTube or Vimeo URL and play the video.
• At any point where users feel they wish to add a tag, they...
  • just click "Tag it" and
  • add a small description.
• Users can...
  • add as many tags as they want;
  • get a direct link for each tag; and
  • even let viewers post comments on individual tags instead of the whole video.

See it in action, my first effort at http://www.blipsnips.com/503;(or the embedded version below; yes it can be embedded into an ePortfolio) Note: this is a teaching video not one for evidence.
