De-LTA leads the way in innovative technology enhanced learning
 Creating re-usable learning objects from video material is now possible using the latest software from Empowering Confidence Limited. 40 per cent of students have a visual learning preference. Most teachers use videos to satisfy this preference but are they used effectively? Students and teachers everywhere know the dangers of showing videos in large classrooms. Back of the room boredom. Attention spans designed to last between one commercial break and the next. The natives get restless. Videos are still an essential part of teaching and learning but how can we make them interactive and engaging as well as educational?
Sue Palmer has been wrestling with this problem for several years. After taking early retirement from Higher Education, she teamed up with a programmer and together, they designed the De-LTA software programme.
De-LTA software transforms videos into interactive re-usable learning objects. Embedding images, text, questions, video clips, audio files and slides couldn’t be easier with De-LTA. Editing is easy, De-LTA allows you to make changes without having to re-film a scenario saving time and money.
How often can students become immersed in learning seeing the consequences of decisions without coming to any harm? With De-LTA’s unique auto-branching feature this can be achieved. Imagine if students could be shown people’s reactions to inappropriate behaviour without anyone getting hurt. Or if they could choose the right equipment in a science experiment without making expensive mistakes.
Would you like to save time marking assessments? With De-LTA’s random question generating ability and report exporting feature you can. Embedding questions into the video allows teachers to ask a range of questions including those with weighted answers that gauge attitudes or behaviours. Skills knowledge and understanding can easily be assessed with students getting immediate feedback in the form of bar charts, pi charts or scattergrams. Reports are generated allowing audit trails for comparing individuals with groups, past and present performance or pre-and post-teaching results. Multiple responses are also possible allowing perception and reality judgements to be made.
End of course assessment couldn’t be easier. De-LTA’s random question generator allows you to use question banks for multiple assessment points, whilst the programme marks the answers immediately giving staff and students the immediate feedback they need.
De-LTA’s potential as a learning tool is not restricted to pupils. Staff training such as health and safety, equality and diversity, classroom management can be enhanced through transforming training videos, or self filmed material, into interactive, immersive learning programmes.
