developing student identity, values and employability skills through the use of video logs
DESCRIPTION
In recent years the importance of developing employability skills as part of university education has gained considerable attention. This presentation shows how a student’s experience of vlogging, via YouTube, has led to his development of key skills desired by today’s employer including: the ability to communicate; the confidence to present and accept criticism and an aptitude for creativity. In addition the talk demonstrates as to how vlogging enables him to go beyond achieving technological and socially-based skills, helping him to cultivate a personal value system and student identity .
