What Does It Take To Make VILOs
VILOs
are invaluable to
educators because they are concise, specific, reusable, and
available in multiple formats. Many Ivy Tech Community College faculty members plan to develop
program-specific VILOs
in Spring and Summer 08 to meet student demand. Students appreciate VILOs
because they can retrieve and access them on demand from iPods, CDs,
DVDs, streaming media servers, even through Cable TV, thanks to the
cooperation of our neighbor, Indiana University, Purdue University,
Fort Wayne (IPFW).
While a lot of technology goes into developing VILOs, much of it is already available on most campuses. While developing the Medical Assisting VILOs, Bill Brown, Multimedia Specialist, and Andaz Ahmad, Director of Instructional Technology, identified these items as important:

"I like the
fact that we can watch the VILOS
at our leisure and be able to go back and rewind and pause them. They
have been a wonderful instructional tool." Amanda, student
