Of Peer Learning and Being Filmed Teaching

Tasler, N. (2014) Of Peer Learning and Being Filmed Teaching. [Website]

Abstract

It is rather strange uploading this into the repository in 2021 since we are now all filmed for teaching. Or rather film ourselves. This was my first experience: Being filmed when teaching … and other peer review tools I was not so much thrown by my colleague’s presence in the seminar room, but by the video camera. Normally teaching is fleeting; it is a fluid, temporal, and private space, where my students and I create meaning, interact, laugh, banter, and discuss. However, being filmed creates a permanent space for and an entity of this process. My colleague said that I can always delete the file again, but its mere existence extends the transient temporality of my teaching. That digital video file generates an object out of a process, changing the remit of this process in its entirety, creating a completely different reality. This reality subsequently necessitates a conscious act of deleting a time and space, that otherwise would not have existed in physicality beyond the realm of the session.
