Video Manifesto

One of the outcomes of our expert work shops is a "Video Manifesto for Videos in Higher Education". Our core group consists of experts from  the following different universities and institutions:

 

EPFL Lausanne
ETH Zürich


FHNW Basel


Ludwig-Maximillians University Munich

HSG St.Gallen
Leuphana Universität

 

New Iteration by experts at the LERU Video Workshop:

Leiden University
 University College London
University of Amsterdam
Université Pierre et Marie Curie
KU Leuven
University of Zurich

 

It is planned to publish a first open accessible version digitally as well as a booklet of the Video Manifesto this fall 2017. The target audience are peers from higher education as well as the broad society with interest in digital education. Therefore, the language of the Video Manifesto aims to entertain, 'edutain' and provok new ways of thinking about media design for videos in digitale education.

Below is the current draft with the main target points.
