THE PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION OF THE EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS AND ELECTRONIC STUDY MATERIALS AT THE COLLEGE OF DUNAUJVAROS 

As a result of the methodical aspirations for renewal in the higher education, it was decided to establish an online development team at the College of Dunaújváros. The preparations for that started in 2011. Following the research and testing of the recently available technologies our office started its organized operation under the name of Online Studium.

Our colleagues were managing successful projects both in the Hungarian business environment and in the national higher education. With their constructive work they contributed to the successful establishment of each project.  Based on their experience and knowledge we offer the following services to our partners:

•    Online educational counselling.
•    The customization, installation and hosting of e-learning frame systems (Moodle).
•    The development of online course materials; making polymedia shots.

Making videos with cameraman in a green-box” studio or on the spot.

We developed an online system, which supports the educational process of the college both from the lecturers’ and the students’ point of view. Its main characteristics are as follows:

•    Special MOODLE framework
•    Polymedia-controlled course structure
•    Individual menu system
•    Application and further development of video-recording standards. 

Course Material Development

We make our course material developments according to the SCORM standard suitable for the frame systems and by the application of an individual study material engine.
When making our courses we put a great emphasis on the quality of the script and the development base document and on following the basic instructions defined in the script during the course of development.
Our courses are essentially built on two levels, in which structure the second level (subchapter) includes each learning object. When transferring the information we aspire for keeping the principle of ”SHOW-PRACTICE-TEST”, this is why our courses consist of video-based lecture, downloadable and printable lecture plan, animations to practise and knowledge-checking test questions.
To support the student we enclose a study guide to each subchapter.

We recommend the following formats to make the study and course materials:

•    Video-controlled course built on letures. Its components: edited video lectures, self-chacking test questions, PDF lectures; tasks to be submitted, evaluated test questions.
•    SCORM study materials; multimedia course material including simulation tasks. Study material to present primarily the softwares and to get their functions practised.
•    Text-based course material.
In the courses made for the framework of the College of Dunaújváros the student can use further online tools in order to intensify the effectiveness of the online education (Chat, forum, video consultation).

The first study materials were worked out in 2011, in the framwork of TÁMOP 412/a, and they were uploaded in Moodle system. The most of the 33 study materials were made for the courses of the welding technologies and maintenance engineering study programs and on the areas of the non-destructive material testing and measurement techniques.
In 2012. in the project TÁMOP 412/a. the development of 10 subjects was started.
The College of Dunaújváros in 2012 defined it as a strategic goal to introduce and develop the online educational form.
In 2012 within the frames of the project TÁMOP 411C 19 courses in English language and 1 course in Hungarian language were elaborated. The course materials were made primarily for the engineering subjects of the Technical Management BSc.
The study materials were developed on video-based materials, which supported the students’ learning with written educational materials, ppt slides, tests.

To acquire the knowledge of the educational materials the students get support from the teachers, who keep continuously in contact with the students in chat and videochat rooms.
