| Title | Video Information Gap Activities |
| Body | I am a graduate student at the University of South Florida and I read an article in one of my classes that talks about an "Information-Gap Activity" that can be created using a technique called video split, in which half of a class views, with the sound turned off, a videotext that has five or six speaking actors. The other half of the class hears only the sound and does not see the visual aspects of the videotext. The teacher then pairs the students, one viewer with one listener, and assigns each pair the task of recreating the conversation(s) in the videotext. Students verify the accuracy of their recreation by watching the videotext with sound. Does anyone have any experience with this activity? Iglesias, S. (9 Jun. 2004).

Editor's Note: I found an interesting site regarding teaching with video techniques that discusses some of the same practices. The reference is as follows: Pearson Education. (2001).
