BLOG: MY WHY

Introduction

What is your why of experiences with knowledge gained and put to practical

use for business and volunteering?

My Age - Is not a Barrier or a hurdle

So today, What is my Why?

Knowledge and Wisdom

Experiences - Global Projects

Assignment in North Africa on a civil engineering project delivering fresh water to the indigenous population known as:

The Great Man-Made River Project - Libya.

Project assignment in many countries (Europe, West Africa, USA and Canada) as a team subject matter expert member planning and implementing the biggest deployment of SAP R3 in the world.

Working as a contractor manager civilian specialist with the British Army on OPERATION HERRICK, I learnt about their service, sacrifice and resilience.

 

 

Volunteering and Supporting UK Charities

Thinking about others has been very important since childhood, and volunteering opens your eyes to the third sector (charities) that need support.

In my teens and twenties, I volunteered with St John Ambulance.

After coming back from OP HERRICK Afghanistan,

I joined as a branch member of the Royal British Legion to help veterans.

This year, 2024, is going to be exciting with a unique Veterans Event at Arundel Castle, Sussex, England.

Another year has gone by and reached 61; the UK trade mark was launched as a brand, The Trainer Explainer.

Idea Stolen! UK Trade Mark Needed

 

 

 

Another year gone, and at Sixty-Three writing my second business book

Where has the time gone and another book to write that became and now becomes a paperback book in 2024:

In 2024, what is my next challenge in being creative with the unique design of digital assets.

In addition, developing being a unique book publisher to help others bring their books to the marketplace.

Explainer Videos Within a Book

Explainer videos within a book demonstrate how integrating the art of video making into a manuscript will give more reader resources. Sure this type of process has been done before. But, as a first-time author, it would be a challenge.

Explainer Videos Within a Book Demonstrates How?

The mission target was expanding an exciting series of book chapter topics that had to be understood easily. Very important in the early planning stages to achieve a successful integration. In essence, the written word, including explainer videos to provide synergy. Thus the end result was a creative project that had to have imagination.

Consistency in Explainer Videos

Being sure of consistency in explainer videos was very deliberate. Aiming to keep simplicity in the process or workflow. Heading for audience engagement to be achieved. Thus needs to see this type of resource to be helpful and not a hindrance.

A Batch of Ten

Planning is critical, and understanding the workload involved is essential. The only way to go is to have a form of continuity. This is achieved by creating explainer videos in a batching process. All the storyboards, scripts, audio, and subtitles must show in the same format. The ten chapters all with different themes and explanations.

Accessibility in Explainer Videos

Subtitles must be added to assist in the theme of this book. Therefore, getting this process accurate and right was a high priority. I had to experiment and understand this process. So happy with the end results.

Seeing into a Different Lens

Seeing into a Different Lens - Reading versus Imagery training resources

Seeing into a Different Lens - is there a trade off between reading or imagery training resources for describing a new topic for learning. Genuinely, it always depends on the learning style and the learner.

So how can you accommodate both learning styles so no learner feels disadvantaged? That involves crafting and creativity of the learning resource to be comprehensive with a template that is flexible.

With training resources continually being improved. At top of mind is initial and recurring costs to understand a customer training budget for a pending change project.

At the creative side, it is always important to ensure that quality and variety will encourage positive learning outcomes.

Recently, exploring and discovering of a different methodology for this brand in the explainer video genre, has been enlightening. Creating old style and new style with accessibility functionality included to ensure a better balance.

Traditional methods

A pure document that would have change control is something of a certain generation remember well and accepted as best practice. However, limited use that does not connect well with different learning needs. The world changes and demand is now here for micro-learning to assist learners.

Current methods

Creating a dual use resource that can still be a control document and be converted to a simple explainer video that is captivating to the intended audience. The learning process has to be imaginative and thought through carefully with accessibility in mind.

Video Subtitles with 2 conversations

Video Subtitles with 2 conversations

When creating subtitles for video content, it's important to bear in mind that they can serve two very different audiences: those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those who are not fluent in the language of the video. By tailoring your subtitles accordingly, you can make sure that everyone can enjoy your content to the fullest.

Well-crafted subtitles

For deaf or hard of hearing viewers, well-crafted subtitles can make all the difference in enjoying a video. They allow people who rely on visual cues to understand the dialogue and action taking place onscreen. Good subtitles will accurately reflect the spoken words, as well as any important sounds or music in the background.

Helping non-fluent viewers

For non-fluent viewers, subtitles can be equally important in conveying the content of a video. They offer a way for people who don't understand the language spoken in a video to still follow what's going on.

Subtitles - how they work

What subtitles are and how they work. Subtitles are text versions of all the spoken words in a video. They can be used to make videos more accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing people, or to help people who are learning a new language. They also have another, less well-known use: as a way of improving your video marketing. In this article, we’ll look at how subtitles can help your video marketing, and we’ll give you some tips on how to create them.

Subtitles - the method needed or workflow

In the attached video example TechSmith Camtasia 2021 video editing software was used with a photograph and an audio file added on separate tracks.

Subtitles - increasing the font size

Then I used the caption functionality to split each segment of audio and insert the words manually for such a short film. I increased the white font on a black background to make the captions to standout.

Benefits to the audience

Whilst preparing this topic and video example I had to understand the audience. In that respect, it was 2 conversations from an Amazon Grey Parrot (Apollo) and a human being (Helen). Also for hard of hearing or deaf people I wanted them to experience the amazing language of this type of parrot can learn and speak.

Still videos without subtitles

BLOG | NO SUB TITLES

No Video Subtitles - Impact on Deaf People

Hands Up!, how many of you you suffer from hard of hearing and wear hearing aids? - Well I do and not many people would know either!

Imagine you are sitting in a classroom and the teacher is speaking on the board.

You can see her lips moving, but because you have hearing loss, you can’t hear what she’s saying.

This is a common problem for people who suffer from hearing loss, and it can be frustrating and isolating.

It's no secret that millions of people suffer from hearing loss.

World Health Organisation (WHO)

In fact, according to the World Health Organization.

  • About 466 million people have disabling hearing loss, which is about 5% of the world's population.
  • That number is only going to increase as the population ages.

I hope this will gain more understanding of this problem.

No Video Subtitles - Impact on Deaf People

Why are subtitles so important?

With a hard of hearing learner and why subtitles are so important in a video:

  • For people who suffer from hard of hearing, watching video that doesn't include subtitles can be incredibly frustrating.
  • Not being able to understand what's happening in a video can make it difficult to follow along and learn.

That's why it's so important for video creators to include subtitles in their videos.

By doing so, they can help ensure that all learners have the opportunity to learn and understand the content they're sharing.

Fortunately, there is a way to get around this problem:

  • Subtitles are text tracks that appear on the screen to provide a written translation of all spoken dialogue in a video.
  • They are important for people with hearing loss, but they are also important for people who don’t have hearing loss.

When you watch a video with subtitles:

  • it’s easier to follow along and hear what characters are saying.
  • You can also read along as you watch, which means you don’t have to re-watch a video you’ve already seen.

People are using subtitles in a variety of different ways to help make the world a more open place.

In fact,

  • subtitles are playing such an important role in increasing openness that the United Nations declared 2017 the International Year of Dialogue (IYD2017).

Learners who suffer from hard of hearing are frustrated when video does not include subtitles.

  • This can cause many impacts in their learning.

Here are just a few ways in which people are using subtitles to bring the world together.

No Video Subtitles - Impact on Deaf People

#1: Helping make the world more open

With the rise of social media, people are sharing more of their lives with the world through pictures, videos, and audio. As a result, people are sharing more of their personal lives with the world.
Subtitles, however, can help people who are experiencing a hearing loss to understand what their friends and family members are saying online. By being able to understand what people are saying in their posts, people who have hearing loss can take a step forward in making their communities more inclusive.

#2: Helping young children learn

Just like young children who learn by reading words, young children who have hearing loss learn best when they are read to. Subtitles can be a great tool to help parents read to their children. Just by looking at the text on the screen, parents can read along and help their children understand what's happening.
For children who are experiencing a hearing loss, subtitles can be a helpful tool to help them understand what they are reading. The text on the screen provides them with the same information that is provided to the rest of the class.

#3: Making it easier for people to learn

For people who have hearing loss, it can be difficult to understand what’s happening in a video without subtitles. When you add subtitles to a video, it’s easier to follow along and understand what’s happening in the video.
When people are watching videos with subtitles, they are more likely to learn what they are watching.

#4: Helping people understand what they’re watching.

One of the biggest benefits of subtitles is that they can help people who are experiencing a hearing loss understand what they are watching.
Although they may not be able to hear what is happening in a video, they can still read along and understand what is happening.
When people are watching videos with subtitles, they are more likely to learn what is happening in the video.

#5: Supporting people who are trying to learn.

People who are trying to learn can use subtitles to help them understand what they are watching. As a result, they can focus on the information that they need to remember and understand rather than trying to understand what is happening in the video.

And they can also use subtitles to keep up with the class. They can read along with the teacher and make sure that they understand what is happening in the video.

By using subtitles to help people who are trying to learn, they can easily follow along with the teacher and understand what is happening in the class.#6: Helping people who are learning.

People who are learning can use subtitles to help them understand what they are watching. They can read along with the teacher and learn from their mistakes. When people are watching videos with subtitles, they are more likely to learn what they are watching.

#6: Helping people with hearing loss learn.

For people who are experiencing a hearing loss, using subtitles can be a great way to make sure that they understand what is happening in a video.

#7: Supporting people who are visually impaired.

People who have visual impairments can use subtitles to learn and understand what they are watching. By reading along, they can read the text on the screen, which can help them learn and understand the information they are watching.
