Book part: The visual in teaching – from Bologna to YouTubiversity
Abstract
The visual in teaching has an important historical background, which needs to be taken into account when teaching in the university is offered as “Open courseware”, “UTube” or made publicly available in distance education contexts. Gradually, teaching has been remediated – from texts and actual teaching in the classrooms, to the Internet. Videos both remediate the images of the taught, as well as the event of teaching. The paper aims at depicting the various genres that now are discernable and used in distance education, and ask if they manage to remediate the presence of the “teacher” of the “taught”. Videos and text merge – or interlace – in new educational media, such as websites, which are exponents of the new multimodality of open education projects. The remediation to the video has taken up genre elements from talk-shows and the documentary. How do didactical narratives survive in this context?
