Reframing Holocaust Testimony
Institutions that have collected video testimonies from the few remaining Holocaust survivors are grappling with how to continue their mission to educate and commemorate. Noah Shenker calls attention to the ways that audiovisual testimonies of the Holocaust have been mediated by the institutional histories and practices of their respective archives. Shenker argues that testimonies are shaped not only by the encounter between interviewer and interviewee, but also by technical practices and the testimony process. He analyzes the ways in which interview questions, the framing of the camera, and curatorial and programming preferences impact how Holocaust testimony is molded, distributed, and received.

Measuring cannabis quantities in online surveys: A rapid review and proposals for ways forward
Cannabis use quantities are relevant for determining cannabis-related harms. This research aims to provide an overview of the available methods to assess quantities through self-report.
A rapid review of various strategies to collect information on cannabis use quantities through self-report. Two independent literature searches resulted in n = 38 studies included for review.
A total of n = 14 studies employed methods for collecting cannabis use quantities that are not suitable for online surveys (e.g., rolling a fake joint). Of the remaining n = 24 studies with items that are suitable for online surveys, the quantity assessment was performed in three different ways. The data collection was either carried out by asking (a) for the total number of joints (i.e., crude joint method), (b) for the total weight (i.e., crude weight method), or (c) for specific products separately, for example, for the amount of flower and resin (i.e., product-specific method). In only n = 8 studies, cannabis use quantities were ascertained by providing visual aids (e.g., illustration of various amounts of flower).
The crude joint method and the product-specific method are the two most promising methods to collect information on cannabis use quantities. Using visual aids may potentially improve the accuracy of those methods.

Visual teaching aids improve patient understanding and reduce anxiety prior to a colectomy
Informed consent forms consist of large blocks of written information that may be difficult for patients to understand. Visual teaching aids are promising, however, they have not been studied as a pre-operative educational tool for common surgical procedures. We pilot tested the use of a visual teaching aid during the informed consent process for a colectomy.
A randomized pilot study was performed. Participants were randomized into the visual teaching aid group or standard care. Following the consent process, participants were questioned about potential surgical complications, anxiety, satisfaction, and understanding.
30 participants were enrolled. Potential complication recall and patient-reported understanding were improved in the visual group (p = 0.01, p = 0.03). Anxiety levels were reduced in the visual group (p = 0.02). No statistically significant data were found for satisfaction (p = 0.75).
Utilizing a visual teaching aid during the consent process for colectomy increases patient recall of risks, reduces anxiety, and improves understanding.
[Display omitted]
•Informed consent forms for surgery are often written at an advanced level.•Use of visual teaching aids is not well documented for common surgical procedures.•Visual teaching aids improve recall of three major complications of a colectomy.•Visual teaching aids improve understanding and reduce anxiety prior to a colectomy.•Tools are needed that can reach patients with a wide range of health literacy.

Using Video to Support Teacher Reflection and Development in ELT
Currently, there are many research articles across a wide array of teacher education journals that present promising practices in video as a tool in teacher learning, but no practitioner-friendly text that organizes a variety of approaches for application in the field. This book fills that gap by helping educators to greatly expand their repertoire and confidence in introducing, designing, implementing, and assessing video- based professional development. The authors focus on the variety of ways in which video can support and encourage reflection, increase awareness, foster collaboration, share practice, provide a tool for analysis, aid in materials production, and establish online communities of practice.
Video allows more possibilities for context-sensitive noticing, editing, sharing, repackaging, and tagging, especially in combination with screen-capture software, and there is an increasing array of tools that can be harnessed to support teacher learning and reflection. These can help to make aspects of classrooms, methodology and learning more concrete and visible. Across the chapters, the book draws on a growing community of educators using video in a wide range of approaches and features some of their experiences and views through data and vignettes. In doing so, this text acts as a conduit for innovative and effective video and visual media use in language teacher education.

Video in the age of digital learning
\"Although video is now ubiquitous in education, its full potential is oftentimes not fully understood, nor is it used to utmost potential. This timely volume seeks to address this gap by providing educators and instructional designers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of video production processes and methods for designing effective instructional videos. From its discussion of the significance of digital learning and impact of instructional video to its unique focus on the best design and production techniques that make video an effective teaching tool, this book offers applicable and tested strategies for creating quality instructional video. The accompanying website, which allows readers to see sample videos and access additional online resources, underscores the book's practitioner focus\"--Page 4 of cover.
