A video from the University’s MOOC ‘Agincourt 1415: myth and reality’ has been shortlisted for a British Universities Film and Video Council Learning On Screen Award, 2016.
The video ‘How to wear plate armour’ was produced by Kate Borthwick and Josef Brett and features a local historian describing and demonstrating how plate armour would have been worn in 1415. It is a finalist in the category ‘Courseware and curriculum in-house production.’
The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 28 April, at the British Film Institute and will be attended by members of the production team.
The University of Southampton/FutureLearn course ‘Agincourt 1415: myth and reality’ was produced by Professor Anne Curry, Dan Spencer (a PhD student) and Kate Borthwick from the Faculty of Humanities, with Josef Brett, Kate Dickens and Stephan Caspar from ILIaD. It has run twice: in October 2015 and February 2016. Over 5500 learners took part in the course and it rates as FutureLearn’s top course for student retention.
Keep your fingers crossed for the team on Thursday.
