M—thank you for introducing me to Zaption. Although I may have encountered this technology before, I didn’t realize it was available to be used by all. After listening to your podcast, I wanted to learn more about Zaption—so of course, I did some research by going to their website and also finding examples to test drive.
I am interested in using this technology not only in our teacher training, but also our private school for dyslexic children. Nothing can replace the experience of being read to as a child, but what a fun way to occasionally let the students use their iPads in class. There are quite a few children’s books out there on video that can be used with Zaption. And of course, by introducing this to our teachers in training, they are also able to utilize the technology in their own classroom.
According to Stigler, Geller, 7 Givvin (2015), Zaption has the potential for the following: 1. Greater student engagement with the video 2. Greater student learning from the video 3. Greater interest, motivation, and curiosity to learn more about the subject of the video (p. 15).
This may not be a technology we end up using, but I am excited to explore the option!

M - great new, emerging technology. I am always among the first to try something new, and I can't wait to try this one. I teach a lot online, and I am always looking for new/innovative ways to incorporate video and other media in to my online classes. I have also begun to "flip" the classroom, which on one hand requires students to read/listen/view material outside of class, and discuss/interpret the material in class. I believe that the use of emerging technologies, ie Zaption and others allows us as instructors to break free from the traditional mode of classroom teaching. That is, with the teacher being the center of the learning process. When we "flip" the classroom, and provide students with outside work that directly corresponds to the topics at hand, they take control and ownership of their learning through a whole different set of goals and objectives. I appreciate this interview, because it demonstrates a willingness to experiment with new manners of instruction.
Great blog post and great interview. It's nice to see how other schools are constantly looking for new ways to make online learning tools more interactive. I agree that this creates a more positive learning environment where the user can actually use the knowledge that they are being presented with and not just try to observe and absorb it in the traditional method.
One tool that we have begun to use at K-State that is similar to Zaption is Mediasite. It has many of the same features that allow for different types of interaction such as polls and questions. It also provides the instructor with the important analytic aspects so that they can see how many students have watched the video and if they even finished it vs only watching the first few minutes. It also shows segments that are repeated so that they can know which concepts might be more difficult for students to understand the first time through.
The variety of tools that are becoming available for teachers and universities is very exciting. I look forward to see what people come up with next!
