The Video Research Workshop 2008 brings together educational researchers who use video in their scholarly work. The workshop aims to act as a platform for knowledge exchange and generation based on the successes and challenges faced by researchers who have used video. This involves ethical issues in video research, the practicalities of conducting video research in diverse settings, (formal and informal), as well as video analysis tools and methods. The workshop is likely to network researchers and research groups while they discover joint interests and endeavours.
The workshop builds on a dialogue which began last year in 2007 at a similar event also hosted by CICERO Learning, a cross-disciplinary research network, at the University of Helsinki. The workshop is targeted at a diverse audience including professors, lecturers, graduate students and anyone who is interested in how knowledge is expanded by using video-based methods and technologies for inquiries in educational research.
