iPad App (Coach’s Eye)
By Nicole Dobyns, Instructional Development Services Graduate Assistant
This week we are featuring another iPad app, Coach’s Eye, which has been purchased for use with the iPad cart in the Technology Resource Checkout. Remember, the new iPad cart is available for faculty reservation to use in the classroom. Stop by the Interactive Multimedia Lab in Horrabin 104 to make a reservation or call 298-3076.
This app is a video analysis app that can be used in many different settings. For those faculty working with student teachers, this app might be helpful in watching some of the sample teaching videos and giving feedback for students. Other applications include using the app to analyze video of a golf swing or swimming stroke. Really, this app can be used to analyze any video.
Video anaylsis with this app is more than just a voiceover. Coach’s Eye allows you to draw on the video to highlight something of interest in the video such as a teacher’s eye contact or the angle of a golfer’s arm. Another great feature is the ability to either record your own video with one of the built-in iPad cameras, or to import video from a source that you already own. With importing your own video, you can open a file that has been emailed or imported to the iPad via iTunes when connected to a computer. Another option for importing video for analysis is to use a camera connection kit like the one pictured below.
The camera connection kit allows you to use a SD card from a camera or the camera itself with a USB cord to load pictures and videos directly to the iPad. The allows a user to skip the step of downloading a video from an email or using another service like Dropbox to retrieve the video.
If you want to show off your video analysis to your friends, Coach’s Eye also has the option to post the video to a social networking site or through a text message if you are using an iPhone or Android to use this app. You can also share videos to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
