A while ago we’ve talked about how we could use video to “spice up” the communication with your students, and you were invited to check out Cornwall College Students’ Union YouTube Channel. Alex Ledbrooke, their Communication and Participation Officer, has shared with us their latest video production on the result of exit survey for 2008/09 academic year:
How did you come up with this idea?
The ideas were a combined effort. The content itself was generated by the survey. I took the “you could fit xx double decker buses…” idea to the students who gave me the topical themes to work around.
What about the actual production of the video?
I then did the creation (which is using powerpoint and very simple animation) and finally the music was recorded by a student at our Camborne campus.
Although Alex explained his work in very simple terms, I’m sure you’d agree that there’re lots of creative work and effort in it. Not only did the students’ union manage to report “boring” figures in an interesting, easy-to-understand way, the cooperation between students’ union and other students with talents is also brilliant!
And of course their committment to follow up the negative experience is encouraging too!
