Triple L

In February 2006 the project Triple L started its two year course. Its name stands for Live events as Learning objects in Learning environments. The project specifically develops formats enabling the different opportunities of audio and video for the (re-) use of live events, with emphasis on the classroom setting. By participating, the three universities involved gain considerable experience with different recording techniques, the advantages of various software packages, and hardware requirements, on which they report regularly on the wiki of the project (see Wiki Triple L, soon also in English).  By using a repository it becomes easy for colleagues to refind the recorded material (see Repository Triple L).

The heart of the project is the desire to facilitate the reuse of recorded material. The focus of reuse in the past quite often was directed towards colleagues using the whole or part of a recording of a lecture. However in this project the use and reuse by students gets central attention. Several pedagogical approaches were developed, oriented towards both first and repeated use of lectures, interviews and other ways of presentations. They range from direct live broadcast of a lecture and use by the students afterwards to the partly reuse during a workshop, and also the possibilities of recordings by students for group discussion are target of investigation.  Another form of reuse is to update lecturers about the development of the professional fields of their colleagues.
