The course

eigo no bideokyasuto de Nihon o shoukaishiyou or Introducing Japan with English Videocasts is a 13 week hands on videoblogging course held in the autumn/winter semester at Hiroshima University of Economics (HUE) Koudoukan facility.

The aim of the course is to familiarize Japanese students at HUE with videoblogging and encourage them to introduce aspects of their daily lives through short videos to an international audience.

Students taking the course are hopefully interested in media production and/or English communication, but there is no requirement for them to have any prior experience or any specified level of ability.

Video is shot on DV tape, uploaded to laptop computers and edited in Windows Movie Maker software bundled with Windows XP.
