Opinions and proposals from Film, TV and Media students about SPOCs

Abstract

This article presents the results of the study carried out among a group of students from a B.A. in Film, Television and Media Studies, on how to implement a SPOC as part of a practice course. Classroom experience has revealed a noticeable gap in the students' technical skills when operating the equipment. The aim of the research was to assess the utility values attributed by the students to blended learning tools and to find out which audiovisual production skills they find fit to be developed through a SPOC. The research was conducted simultaneously with a pilot SPOC on video editing and the assessment was elaborated through group discussions and individual polls. As a result, a preliminary list of SPOC utility values was drawn and content proposals to complement face-to-face learning were put forward. Students widely supported the view of having online material on technical devices operation available anytime throughout their degree course, so that they can learn at their own pace.
