The videoblogging course at the University of Iowa has just wrapped up, and we finished out the semester in style, with a public open house featuring all the videoblogs produced during the class.

Check out the links in the sidebar to the right to see all the students' individual sites; many will be continuing to update them. Or browse the selections below for a taste of some of their work.

Speedvlogging

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Proctor) — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 20:39:00 +0000

This week, students in the videoblogging class tried their hand at speedvlogging, in which they created a videoblog post, start to finish, in two hours (or close to it). They had to come with an idea, shoot it, edit it, compress it, and post it, all in around 120 minutes. Check out the sites linked in the sidebar for posts from this rapid-fire exercise.

Toward a definition of videoblogging

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Proctor) — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 05:49:00 +0000

Today during class, we did some brainstorming to get closer to a definition of videoblogging as we've experienced it. Some of our tentative conclusions included:

Videoblogging is a practice.
It's a means of creative expression through video that gets internalized into your everyday life, and can even be defined as a way of life.
It's necessarily personal, even when it's fictional or poetic.
It's about process and intent, not product.
It stands in contrast to the conventions of mainstream media--it's about conversation, expression, and personal intent, not about revenue, ratings, or viral video.

Here's the board after our brainstorming session:

And, like good vloggers, we had to document our work using the handheld devices we keep available at all times:
