Learning to play. Playing to learn.

Posted on by Steve Ford

In my day job I do a lot of teaching and a bit of game play. The gaming only happens when I can combine the two. Here’s an game I devised that  game we use during a lecture on Quality Management. It’s called ‘The Pharmacist’s Dilemma’.

I decided to experiment with videoing this talk as a tester for videoing my lectures. This video took a bit of ‘editing time’, but the main issues were aligning the sound (which comes from a dictaphone) with the video (which comes form a Go Hero Pro knock off – £15 at Argos!), the massive video file sizes (about 150 Mb per minute) and dealing with the gaps caused by video file saving. Anyway, the video is done and next time will be a lot slicker.
