First Contact How Could We Possibly Talk With Aliens - Duration: 17:44.

First Contact How Could We Possibly Talk With Aliens

BY Brent Swancer

Ever since we as a species have become aware of other stars and planets beyond our own

we have let our imaginations run wild with what might lie out there or if we really are

alone in the universe upon this spinning rock we call Earth.

Are there other creatures or beings inhabiting other stars, and if so we will we ever see

them or even talk to them?

These are the dreams of our kind, the questions that still loom large across the landscape

of our psyche.

Is there someone else out there?

Further adding to our questions is if there was some other race out there, and we did

actually manage to make contact with them across the sea of stars, what would they be

like?

Would we be able to talk to these alien visitors and perhaps more importantly, what would we

say?

The conundrum of how we would communicate with extraterrestrials has in recent years

been seriously considered, and despite all of the very smart people working on it we

are mostly still left in the dark and unprepared for what talking to an alien might actually

be like.

If aliens were to come down and greet us, say, tomorrow, we would likely immediately

be faced with numerous challenges even beyond language, such as culture, customs, ways of

thinking, and even possibly a different concept and perception of reality itself.

We might not even recognize them as any type of life as we know it.

But if we were to assume that we could just start talking, there would be several potential

obstacles right off the bat, not the least of which is that our bodies would likely be

completely different, and this could have a lot of possible repercussions.

For one, since language is a representation of our thoughts, which are largely based in

how we perceive and interact with the world, human languages reflect the concepts of our

senses of sight, smell, touch, and other cues from our physical form, our shared evolution

and physical actions and reactions such as laughter or crying.

What then happens if an alien race has no eyes or ears or mouth, or experiences the

world in a totally different way?

What if they do not have the same physical relationship with their as we do with our

own?

What if they don�t laugh or cry, or emote as we do?

They may have no understanding at all of what our concepts of perception are in the first

place, a totally different way of experiencing and thinking about time and reality, and so

this would reverberate throughout their whole way of thinking and communication, and indeed

their very being.

This was all rather well-explored in the film Arrival, in which a team of linguists is tasked

with deciphering the mysterious language of a decidedly non-humanoid species with a very

different language and view of time and space, and within the understanding of which hangs

the balance of our survival.

Even within human languages here on Earth we can see how the effects of our sensory

abilities, our upbringing, and our perceptions of the world around us can change methods

and means of communication.

For instance, deaf people use sign language as a means to communicate when the sense of

hearing is robbed from them.

However, although human languages do all sound very unique and even alien at times, and there

are sign languages and whatnot, they are still based on our shared perception of the universe

through the same common biology, morphology, anatomy, and physiology, and therefore they

follow rules that we can all fathom and which give us at least a chance of reproducing them.

With aliens, all bets would be off.

Another important hurdle with differences in physical form would be how we produce and

detect sounds, and thereby language, in the first place.

For humans we use a vocal tract and our ears, and there is a very finite, set frequency

through which we are able to detect the sounds we utter.

With aliens they would be working with a whole different set of organs, frequencies, and

physiology for speech, that is if they even �spoke� as we know it at all.

Their utterances would possibly be made through strange organs for which we have no close

approximation or even understanding of, would probably be made at frequencies, vibrations,

or cadences that we would not be able to detect or recognize as language, and would be made

through a different atmosphere to make it all even worse.

These would be completely non-human sounds, we may not be able to physically discern the

distinctions they make, and considering that many animals on our very own planet are thought

to be able to speak in language and we are completely in the dark as to what they are

saying, this would likely be even more pronounced in something from out beyond the stars.

Perhaps impossibly, indecipherably so.

Simply put, if we cannot physically detect their sounds and cannot reproduce them, then

vocal communication is virtually impossible.

Let�s say, for argument�s sake, that we can get past these obstacles, and that we

can hear and be heard by each other in a meaningful way.

The problems would still not end there.

The very rules of our language and the way they are laid out are all intrinsically linked

to our biology and mindset as well.

An alien language might not have any of the parts of language that we take for granted,

such as verbs, adjectives, and nouns, would possibly not view things such as cause and

effect or the passage of time the same as us, and would potentially follow certain internal

rules, logic, and structures so different from us that we are unable to even mutually

comprehend them.

We as humans have shared cognition and linguistic structures, basic psychologies, and features,

but aliens cannot be counted upon to do so.

Jessica Coon, a professor of linguistics at McGill University in Montreal who was consulted

on the film about extraterrestrial communication, Arrival, said of this:

What linguists have discovered about human languages is that even though they can sound

very different from one another and their grammars do show a lot of variation�languages

tend to fall into certain patterns.

Most of the world�s languages fall into one of those patterns or the other.

The variation isn�t completely unconstrained.

Humans seem to be hardwired for this capacity to learn language.

Because it is part of our genetics and part of being human, it�s very unlikely that

other creatures would have the same kinds of constraints or show the same kinds of similarities

that human languages do.

We would just have to hope that we would still be able to recognize patterns and match it

up with we�re seeing.

The notable American linguist and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky has also offered his

thoughts on the inherit linguistic problems with trying to talk with extraterrestrial

beings with which we have no shared cognitive understanding of how language works.

He has said:

If a Martian landed from outer space and spoke a language that violated universal grammar,

we simply would not be able to learn that language the way that we learn a human language

like English or Swahili.

We�re designed by nature for English, Chinese, and every other possible human language.

But we�re not designed to learn perfectly usable languages that violate universal grammar.

The formidable challenge this would present can already be seen even among human languages

here on our own planet, where there are sometimes things we have no word for, or a lack of a

word for something we take for granted.

A tropical people might have no word for �snow,� for instance.

Some remote, isolated languages are so alien to others that they do not even have words,

concepts or phrases for things most speakers of other languages would likely take for granted.

For instance, the Pirah� people of the Brazilian Amazon have no words for counting things.

It is either �one� or �more than one,� that�s it.

They also have no clear words for certain directions such as �left� or �right,�

and this is a daunting challenge to understanding them, even though they are human.

Imagine a completely non-human entity with even more outlandish rules of language and

grammatical idiosyncrasies and you can see how meaningful exchanges could be a problem.

Jesse Snedeker, a Harvard psychologist who studies the development of language in children,

has said of this:

We know that every child can learn every possible human language.

Every child has to have some sort of internal capacity that allows them to learn language.

We have to ask ourselves, �Would we have the capacity to learn alien language, and

would they have the capacity to learn ours?� And different people would give you very different

answers to that question.

On the other hand, there�s the argument that any species that achieves a high level

of technology would necessarily understand certain concepts, so that ought to provide

a basis for at least a limited degree of communication.

This is where we begin to see that all hope is not necessarily lost, and one thing seen

as the key to actually being able to start towards communication with aliens is to find

some commonality to use as a starting point.

A good way to do this would be to have some sort of key, something like the Rosetta Stone,

which helped us to decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

This has been an idea tossed around in science fiction before, such as the use of the tones

in Spielberg�s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or the use of prime numbers in Carl

Sagan�s book Contact.

If we could have some common frame of reference and somewhere to start, then there is the

chance we could work towards further meaningful communication.

One of the best ways of doing this has been seen in recent years as being to use mathematics

or scientific information such as physics as a sort of �universal language� and

starting point.

After all, as the laws of physics and reality are the same throughout the universe, then

it stands to reason that any advanced society would have a grasp of these things in a similar

way, regardless of how we ultimately think about them or express them in language.

No matter what our physiological differences or deviations in ways of looking at the world

and universe, physics are the same everywhere, and so would be a commonality we could use.

Carl DeVito, an emeritus faculty member in the mathematics department at the University

of Arizona in Tucson, believes that although this exchange of scientific information is

perhaps the key to communication with aliens, it nevertheless still faces some challenges.

First is that the idea that it is still reliant on understanding the aliens� systems of

measurement, as well as relying on the supposition that they can count and do arithmetic as we

do, that they recognize the same elements of the periodic table, that they have adequately

studied the different states of matter, and that they know enough chemistry to carry out

chemical calculations in the same way we do.

He also points out that even though the physics would be the same, these extraterrestrials

might calculate their rules of motion and mechanics based on their own unique geometry.

DeVito has said of this:

The mathematics of motion is differential calculus.

Can we assume that an alien race shares this with us?

Differential and integral calculus are so fundamental in so many areas of science that

it is hard to imagine a science without them.

But this is, perhaps, a human bias.

We, of course, can�t know, but we must be aware that the physics of an alien race, even

in a fundamental area like mechanics, might differ in subtle but important ways from our

own.

Using mathematics and physics is nevertheless still seen as a potential way of breaking

through our communication barrier, to the point that it is used by those organizations

seeking to reach out and make contact, such as SETI.

However, even if we can express simple messages to each other with math, there are still the

intricacies of culture and thinking that would shape how messages and ideas are expressed

and interpreted.

Doug Vakoch, the president of Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence, METI, and respected researcher

of xenolinguistics, has said of this conundrum thus:

If they can build spacecraft to come to come to Earth, they have to have an understanding

of good engineering, physics, science, math.

But doing the nitty-gritty work of going back and forth and making guesses at what an alien

says, trying to interpret swirls and determining a sentence or concept?

It�s hard.

Conveying matters.

You need flexibility of language with its infinite combinations.

Our art and culture � that�s all from language, that�s not from just raw numbers.

In addition to the promise of using math, there is also the hopeful fact that it is

possible that the alien�s psyches and physicality are not as different from our own as we may

think after all.

For instance, on our own planet we can see vastly different organisms that have nevertheless

developed strikingly similar ways of dealing with the environment and world around them,

such as evolving eyes, ears, legs, wings and similar organs separately across species,

often evolving independently or sometimes the same structures multiple times, all in

the process called �convergent evolution.�

Perhaps in other areas of the universe extraterrestrials have evolved similarly enough to ourselves,

especially an intelligent tool-using one that would have developed communication and technology

in the first place, that our mental architectures and languages are not necessarily mutually

unintelligible.

This theory postulates that there are enough universal elements to how we think and evolve

to certain environmental challenges that this would be enough solid ground for us to delve

into a basic framework from which further communication would be possible.

Making this even more promising still is that with all of the broadcasts we have spewed

out into the stars the aliens would potentially have a good enough sampling of our languages

and communications to make talking between us easier without having even met us yet,

a possibility of which Coon has said:

If you have enough information and enough of the context and the history, I think there�s

hope that even without a lot of interaction you could be able to make at least significant

progress in understanding the grammar of a language�again depending on how likely we

are to be able to understand alien life at all.

I wouldn�t be surprised at all if creatures who could make giant spaceships that just

show up on Earth could easily figure out our languages from the many broadcasts we put

into outer space, and that we might be able to do the same thing with sufficient resources

and sufficient information.

One thing that is worth considering is that even if we overcome all of these considerable

challenges and are able to communicate, look at us here on Earth.

With our different cultures, ways of thinking, values, and linguistic nuances, even communication

between us humans can be confusing and difficult, with misunderstandings and gaffes commonplace.

How can we hope to resolve these issues with an alien civilization from another star?

In the end, we just don�t know.

Since we have never made contact with aliens, at least as far as we know, there is no precedent

for it, and we cannot possibly know what to expect when such a day comes to pass.

It is impossible to know what form these beings will take, how they will think, or how they

will communicate.

Will it come easy or will we forever remain closed behind mutual doors of incomprehensibility?

The answers remain complex, it is all left entirely to speculation and the imagination,

and we will only know when we finally make that first contact we have always dreamed

of.

Forestry and Malwa forwarder as a life style

Hi Skogsforum! Today I have the great pleasure to do some logging work out in the woods.

It's not any forest. No, it's the forest of Sundelius (one of the skogsforum members)

You can hear him drive the Malwa in the background

And it's his dog barking over there at the tent

So, today we are looking at Sundelius doing his thinning with chainsaw and Malwa forwarder

Come on!

But we start in the tent of Sundelius...

So, here we are inside Sundelius "luxurious chateu"

Having lunch?

Fredrik is taking his seventh sausage...

Eighth!

It's very warm and cosy in here...will hardly not go outdoors!

Don't buy forest! Buy a tent!

Start with the tent! Tent and sausage

So, we are here for a study visit at Sundelius place to see the Malwa and the thining

So, here is a video of some haulage and logging.

Tell me about this stand where you work

It's not really representative for my property

It's a spruce stand at a former agriculture land close by a lake

I'm thinning this stand now this winter. Earlier, during late fall I did som thinning in teh hills

This stand you will se here is the only part of my property that has such a high growth

But everything else have better quality?

Yes! Sort of

A house in the woods!

First some work with chainsaw

Time to do some hauling

Several different assortments in the load

This log will be pallet lumber, sawn by Sundelius himself

Many assortments at the landing

Small sawlogs

Normal sawlogs and logs for pallet lumber

Pulpwood

The day is over and no wood is left behind in the stand!

Perfect!

No, no...

Thanks Sundelius! Read more at Skogsforum.se

Apocalypse Now: Crash Course Film Criticism #8 - Duration: 11:55.

There are war movies, and then there's Apocalypse Now.

In the late 1970s, Francis Ford Coppola hauled a film crew into the jungles of the Philippines

and barely emerged with his sanity intact.

And, he emerged with a film that – after two years of work in the editing room – is

as much about one soldier's journey into his own mind, as it is about the American

war in Vietnam.

It's an ambitious film that, on its face, shouldn't work.

And yet it does, on so many levels.

[Intro Music Plays]

Director Francis Ford Coppola was riding a

wave of success when he went off into the jungle to make Apocalypse Now.

Over the previous seven years he'd made three bona fide classics: The Godfather, The

Conversation, and The Godfather: Part II.

He'd proven he could tell intensely personal stories with the scope and scale of myths.

His fascination with rituals, his daring camerawork, and his ability to put viewers into the heads

of his characters had made him very successful.

Critically, commercially, and artistically.

As the 1970s drew to a close, the major Hollywood studios were being gobbled up by multinational

corporations.

So executives were becoming more hesitant to gamble on the personal, ambitious visions

of filmmakers like William Friedkin, Martin Scorsese, and especially Francis Ford Coppola.

Nevertheless, Coppola leveraged all the clout he had, threw in a bunch of his own money,

and headed off to the Philippines to make his dream film.

He planned to use the Joseph Conrad novella Heart of Darkness as the basis for a story

about the American war in Vietnam.

Conrad's book follows its narrator Charles Marlow up the Congo River in search of an

enigmatic ivory trader named Kurtz.

It's the tale of Marlow's growing obsession with Kurtz, as well as a broader critique

of colonialism, and especially British imperialism.

In Apocalypse Now, an American Army captain named Willard is dispatched by a shadowy group

of senior military officers (including Harrison Ford)to find a Colonel Kurtz and kill him.

Kurtz, we're told, has gone insane.

He's surrounded himself with an army of Montagnard troops and fled

upriver into Cambodia.

When we first meet Willard, played by Martin Sheen, he's suffering some kind of post-traumatic

stress dream in a Saigon hotel.

It's a stunning opening – dissolving from a lush jungle ravaged by napalm, to thumping

military helicopters, to Willard's violent outbursts in the hotel – all scored to

"The End" by the Doors.

This reveals Willard's damaged psyche, but also what caused it: the horrors of war.

Then, Willard begins his journey upriver, traveling on a Navy patrol boat manned by

a motley crew.

There's the earnest captain known as Chief, played by Albert Hall.

Sam Bottoms plays the California surf dude Lance.

Chef, played by Frederic Forrest, is a saucier from New Orleans who gets wound tighter as

the film continues.

And a baby-faced Lawrence Fishburne plays Clean, the youngest member of the crew.

Together, these guys ferry Willard deeper into Vietnam, encountering everything from

a USO show starring Playboy Playmates to a surf-loving, Wagner-playing Air Cavalry officer

played with gusto by Robert Duvall.

Killgore: If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain... It's safe to surf this beach!!!

The sights and sounds of their voyage grow increasingly absurd.

And the ship's crew becomes more unbalanced, as they all look for ways to cope with the

madness of war.

When they finally reach Kurtz's compound, they discover macabre temples decorated with

hanging corpses, heads on spikes, and thousands of silent Montagnard warriors in white paint.

With them is a manic American photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper who warns Willard

that Kurtz has plans for him.

Photojournalist: He's got something in mind for you. Aren't you curious about that?

Kurtz himself, played by Marlon Brando, remains an enigma right to the end.

Part warrior, part philosopher, and part tormented soul, he's mostly kept in shadows, looming

over Willard.

Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?

Willard: I don't see... any method... at all, sir.

Kurtz beheads Chef before he can call in an airstrike, but keeps Willard alive, reading

him poetry and attempting to justify his actions in whispered monologues.

Eventually, Willard decides to take action.

And as the Montagnards slaughter a water buffalo in an elaborate ceremony, Willard uses the

same kind of machete to kill Kurtz.

Willard then emerges from the temple to face the warriors, who kneel before him as he takes

Lance by the arm and pulls him back to the boat.

THE END!

Now, the production of Apocalypse Now was in serious trouble from the start.

Coppola was behind schedule and over budget almost immediately.

He fired his lead actor within the first months of filming.

And the replacement, Martin Sheen, was in the midst of his own alcoholic breakdown

at the time.

Not to mention, he suffered a heart attack in the middle of the shoot.

The crew, who was scrambling to keep up with Coppola rewriting the movie as it was being

shot, returned to the hotel each night for drug-fueled parties.

Much of the military hardware used in the film, including the helicopters of the Air

Cavalry Unit, were on loan from the Filipino military.

More than once, the real army needed them back to fight their own war.

And partway through production, a typhoon struck and wiped out nearly all of the sets

and equipment.

The stress of it all became so intense that Coppola threatened to commit suicide more

than once and even suffered an epileptic seizure.

You know, just your average film shoot…

Except not.

It wasn't.

Like, at all.

In the end, Coppola shot an unprecedented one-and-a-half million feet of film, which

comes out to about 240 hours of footage.

It took a team of four editors more than two years of work to cut the film together, tear

it apart, and reconstruct it.

War journalist Michael Herr was brought in to co-write Willard's terse voice over after

test audiences couldn't understand the story.

But, after all that, the film finally debuted at the Cannes Film Festival – a year late

– and took home the top prize, the Palme d'Or.

Apocalypse Now is a movie that emerged out of a really complicated production process.

And it's not a film that's going to be satisfied with a single interpretation.

One way to look at films is through the lens of genre.

And the most obvious way to think about Apocalypse Now is as a war movie.

But what if we look a little deeper?

American scholar B. Ruby Rich makes a compelling case that Coppola's film actually moves

through several different genres as it unfolds.

She sees the first part of the film as a western.

Willard is our silent, stoic white man, venturing into the wilderness because so-called civilized

superiors don't want to get their hands dirty.

Rich writes, "There remaining no frontier for today's cowboys in the USA, men like

Kilgore must turn instead to Vietnam...

The eastern bankers and railroad tycoons of yore become here military brass, those shrimp-eating

creatures far from [the] action."

In place of Native American warriors fighting to protect their homeland, the American soldiers

in Coppola's film do battle with a largely faceless North Vietnamese army.

The military fights with machine guns and napalm, rather than rifles and small pox,

but the game plan is the same: slaughter the dehumanized enemy and take their land.

This first part of the film even culminates in an actual cavalry charge, led by Robert

Duvall's Kilgore character in his ten-gallon hat.

It's even complete with a real life bugle call.

Rich identifies the second section as a traditional war film.

And it's during this section that Willard fires his only gunshot of the whole movie.

The patrol crew pulls over a passing Vietnamese sampan, a flat-bottomed wooden boat.

In a tense stand off, Chief orders Chef to board the boat to inspect its cargo.

Chef: There's nothing on it, man! Chief: Get on it!

Chef: Alright!!!

Chef finds no contraband, but the stress of the encounter starts to break him.

The confrontation escalates until a Vietnamese woman rushes toward Chef.

Before it's clear she's only worried about a puppy hidden in a basket, Clean opens fire.

The high-strung Americans spray the boat with bullets, killing most of the Vietnamese crew,

and leaving the woman barely alive.

Chief orders her to be brought aboard and sets a course for the nearest field hospital,

when Willard fires a single shot with his pistol, killing her.

He shows no emotion other than annoyance.

His mission is Kurtz, and everything else is a distraction.

Rich identifies this as a central turning point for Willard's character:

"Fed up with a code of honor that could massacre a boat and then feed on its remorse,

Willard remarks [in voice over] that ... in this moment … he has begun to feel close

to the mysterious Kurtz whose fate lies in his hands."

In this scene, Coppola also abandons the special effects, the darkly funny absurdist touches,

and the rock-and-roll songs that play under much of the action.

Instead, he presents war in direct, unsentimental terms.

As senseless, barbaric, and arbitrary.

These soldiers aren't portrayed as heroic, like in some war movies.

Instead, they're weary – losing hope, mental stability, and, in many cases, their

lives.

But that's just one way to view the film.

Seen through a psychoanalytic lens, Apocalypse Now is the story of one man's journey into

the depths of his own troubled mind, a mind ravaged by war.

In this reading, the opening of the film dissolves the boundaries between time and space, as

seen from Willard's damaged point of view.

As writer Maruerite Valentine puts it, "Willard's mind … has lost all capacity to differentiate

between the inside of his head, and the external – the room, the hotel, Saigon.

Fantasy and reality have become one."

The other characters Willard encounters on his trip up the river, then, can be read as

reflections of himself.

The boat crew might represent other coping strategies he's tried while in the military,

while Kilgore could be a projection of his war-loving feelings.

Even the commanding officers who send him on the mission display the same calculated

dispassion that Willard shows through the film.

Which means Kurtz could be a reflection of Willard's psyche too.

Kurtz is depicted in mostly darkness, as if seeing him fully would be too much for Willard

to handle.

And he speaks in whispered, fragmented monologues with unclear meanings.

In a way, he's what Willard could – and maybe does – become: pure ruthlessness,

entirely untroubled by morality.

This way of looking at a film is fairly common, especially in the Slasher genre.

The prolific horror director Wes Craven once posited,

"...I even think the characters that are around the hero are elements of an uber personality.

And in this sense it's like a Folk Tale that says,

'Okay, the part of you that's going to have sex when something really dangerous is

around?

That part is gonna be killed off…'"

Apocalypse Now's ending has always divided critics, some of whom believe the movie loses

its way in the last half hour.

But if we take this psychoanalytic reading to its logical conclusion, the climax makes

sense.

When Willard gets to the end of his mission, he recognizes himself in Kurtz, and he isn't

sure he can go through with the kill.

That hesitance doesn't make much sense in a western, a war movie, or even a myth.

But if the story is of a man trying to root out his worst impulses, to slay the dark,

powerful dragon in his own mind, the final moments of the movie fit.

Because how do you destroy a piece of yourself, however terrifying it might be?

As he's dying, Kurtz utters his famous last words.

Kurtz: The horror… the horror…

But maybe he's not talking about the horrors of Vietnam, or even his own death.

Instead, maybe he's speaking as part of a deeply troubled mind at war with itself,

fractured by his particular experience of post traumatic stress.

Whether you choose to read Apocalypse Now as an exercise in multi-genre filmmaking,

a journey into a damaged mind, or through some other lens, one thing is clear: This

is a film that invites multiple interpretations.

It's a bold, messy masterpiece that nearly broke its crew, star, and director.

And it remains as relevant today as it did the day it was released...sadly.

Next time, we'll trade the jungle of Vietnam for the Spanish countryside as a little girl

unlocks a fantasy world that just might help her escape the brutal aftermath of the Spanish

Civil War in Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth.

Can you put some effort into it? Haven't you had breakfast?

True Fruit, new blueberry flavor! The lovely blue friends flavor. Thank you!

Welcome, please try a sample!

True Fruit, new blueberry flavor! The lovely blue friends flavor.

Thank you!

True Fruit, new blueberry flavor! The lovely blue friends flavor.

Thank you!

- True Fruit, blueberry... - What is it?

On the left. Teacher Wu.

Stay calm, stay calm. I told you, dressed like this, it would be a miracle if he recognized us.

He's not here to get us, right?

Impossible.

Welcome, please try a sample. Thank you!

[Shanghai Television Network SHTV]

- What's he doing? - I don't know.

The History Forum session one, Chen Ben Ji.

[ Episode 4: 40+2 = 42 ]

To the audience of History Forum, hello! I am Wu Wenlu.

To the audience of History Forum...

- Teacher Wu! - Oh, Director.

This is your first time; don't be nervous.

Just do it the way you usually lecture in your classes.

Okay, okay, thank you.

To the audience of History Forum, hello...

To the audience of History Forum, hello. I am Wu Wenlu.

What we are going to talk about today is the "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Dazexiang Uprising."

Before I begin, I would like to talk a little bit about what history is.

History is the memory of time.

But every tribe, every district,

every country will have its inherent, unique, unchangeable DNA.

- So history is not that far away... - Teacher Wu is pretty exciting!

How is it? It's okay, right? Let me tell you. There are more exciting ones.

Teacher Wu talked idly about important matters and was full of enthusiasm. So cool. Like he was some celebrity.

How long has it been since the class bell rang?

Stop there!

What were you watching just now?

Supervisor Pan, I wasn't watching anything.

- Put out your hand. - The other one.

See, there's nothing.

Look at me.

Where is it? Hand it over!

Those who cover for her will get the same punishment!

You're pretty good today.

Come...

Pan... Supervisor Pan?

Teacher Wu, please follow me for a moment.

Everyone, do your own revision.

Tell me. What's going on?

I don't know what's going on... I keep getting insomnia, and woke up late.

Also, there was traffic. Why are there so many cars these days?

Besides that, have you taken leave recently?

Pan Yuansheng... are you Pan "Peeling Skin?"

Our Class 3 has had significant improvement, right?

Can't I even take leave once?

Is it just once?

You took leave three times this month and skipped two classes, right?

Ah, you know so much.

Look at your complexion.

Recently, do you feel that you don't have enough energy to keep up?

You can tell, right?

Do you think we're getting too old?

Yeah... recently, I don't know what's up either.

I don't sleep well. I just can't fall asleep.

Let me tell you... you're working too hard.

You don't actually have to push yourself too hard. Rest a little more, okay?

That doesn't work. I can't sleep!

These days, I've discovered a history lecture programme that's really good.

I can't sleep if I don't finish watching it at night!

Ah, look, Supervisor Pan, I still have class, so I have to make a move...

Science has discovered that every seven years our cells will have completely been replaced.

But this doesn't mean that we'll become a brand new person every seven years.

Look, this is the one.

You must look at it properly.

I think there are many friends here

who hope that after some time they can start over.

I'm pretty photogenic, right...

Pretty photogenic.

So I want to tell every homeroom teacher

to take a look at this. It would be best if the principal watched it, too.

Hey, Pan, this is a little too much!

You're not going to snitch to the principal, right?

So you do know what it means to be too much?

Didn't you talk about the Dazexiang Uprising?

If you don't take control, your class is going to revolt!

Xin Rui... Your name is Xin Rui, right?

What did you mean by that just now?

I didn't hang on to it properly. I'm sorry.

Do you think I'm stupid? You think I can't see through you?

I didn't do it on purpose.

Don't you try that! You could have hidden it, or just passed it to someone else.

Oh no! Supervisor Pan scolded Teacher Wu for an entire period. I think he saw the program!

Qiao, you've really started some trouble now!

What do you mean I started it?

If it wasn't for Xin Rui, would Pan have discovered it?

I'm not like you.

You're all together in class, you're not afraid of Supervisor Pan.

I'm a bursary student.

Oh, you're a bursary case so you don't have any loyalty, right?

Hey, what are you saying?

- Was I talking about you? Was I talking about you? - Who are you saying isn't loyal?

- Was what she did being loyal? - It's just such a little matter, is it worth it?

- Hey, Mi Qiao, Mi Qiao... - Was I even talking to you?

Stop talking!

- If you want to lecture her, then do. But don't involve others. - It's fine. He was just saying.

They are they! We are we! They didn't really treat us as their own!

- Hah, and I was treating them as our classmates! - Come on, let's go. Stop it!

Why is it like this? It's too much.

- Thank you. - It's all right.

She's just a straightforward person, and speaks rashly. Don't take it to heart.

Zhouzhou...

thirty bursary students came here...

twenty-three have already been rejected by their homeroom teachers.

Oh, it's okay. You and Xu Zhiqiang have been adapting,

so your grades will go up soon.

Even so, we can't keep up with Zhen Hua's pace.

I can't make any mistakes. I don't dare to.

President Chu!

- Mi Qiao? - Hey...

Now, under our new leader,

Zhen Hua looks renewed, thriving, radiant...

Is reciting idioms your thing?

I'm just impressed by your leadership skills.

Students, put all the notices we've collected

in the office. Tidy it up.

You've worked hard.

You came looking for me because of the club, right?

Ah, President Chu really has a heart for the people.

Can I ask how our Animation & Comic Book Club's application for a club space is going?

This matter... needs to take a little longer.

"A little longer" means today, or the day after...?

The student council has just changed over, so there are many things to deal with.

This matter was already an old problem.

The school leadership keeps objecting to it. You'll have to give me some time.

Fine, I know. You people will say anything to get elected.

But once you're elected you turn your back on us.

So that means... you voted for me?

I...

It's lucky I didn't vote for you!

Don't worry. I will definitely fulfill my promises.

Hey! You'll have to pay compensation if you destroy public property.

We are always trying to make a difference...

But today our responsibility...

There are many...

Students, I asked you to memorize this piece... has everyone memorized it?

Yes.

Good, not bad. Let me test someone...

That girl with her head down!

You. Stand up and recite the passage.

Have you not memorized it?

You're new, right?

What's your name?

Teacher... her name is Xin Rui. She's the new bursary student.

That boy who laughed, stand up. You weren't reading properly just now.

Recite the passage.

I can't memorize it, either.

You're the other bursary student, right?

Did you not memorize it, or can you not remember?

Teacher, I can't remember.

Open your textbook and read it. You can read it, right?

It is...

not... necessary.. to be a great...

scientist...

What are you all laughing at?

This is what the teacher said before.

Your class' marks in English phonetics is five points below the other classes.

Don't think you can save yourselves in the exam.

Teacher... I don't think they'll be able to make it to the end-of-term exam.

Sit down.

[ How to practice your English pronunciation ]

We don't approve of fighting.

But fighting is a very special form of communication.

Look, our northern friends like to say,

- "What are you looking at?" - "I'm looking at you!"

Our southern friends are not really the same.

What are you looking at? What can I look at?

He speaks well and is knowledgable.

It's like that between husband and wife, too.

Uncle, what are you watching? You look so happy.

It's a history lecture. The main speaker is...

This is our homeroom teacher, Wu Wenlu!

What?

He's not focusing on his teaching, and going on television?

Didn't you just say he was knowledgable and a good speaker?

It's not okay no matter how knowledgable you are.

Here ends the history of China's Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Cut!

Thank you.

Teacher Wu! Come here!

Come here. Sit!

Teacher Wu, you're on fire.

Tomorrow, we'll start taping the next part.

The next part?

Wasn't this the last week?

Ah, things are always changing.

Who knew that once the show went out it would get such a great response?

The network has decided

that they want to make this lecture into a big series.

Ah, Director, I'm worried I can't get away.

The students at school are still waiting on me to conduct make-up sessions.

It's a crucial time for them.

Ah... you must have about 30 students in class, right?

No!

From the beginning there was already 40, and then they added those bursary...

There are 40,000,000 audience members across the country!

[File Envelope]

- This is... - The program is a hit. The contract needs to be signed again.

This one is a long-term one.

Teacher Wu... this era needs a program with good content like ours.

But what we really can't lose is a good scholar like you.

At that point, you won't be a teacher at Zhen Hua.

You'll be the teacher of the entire audience of China!

Teacher Wu.

[File Envelope]

All right. I'll think about it.

These are the grades from the English exams for your class. Take a look.

You wanted to talk to me about those two bursary students?

The school was already very uncertain about taking these two bursary students.

We decided to observe them for a time, and if it doesn't work out we'll just keep one of them.

But look at their grades.

The grades of the two at the bottom of the ranking combined aren't even as high as the third from the bottom.

They just got here. Maybe they're not used to it yet.

Most of the bursary students have gone back.

They're worried that they can't keep up with Zhen Hua's pace. It's no good for them either.

These two kids can work pretty hard.

Pan, just keep them. Okay?

No. It's not the same this year.

Why is it different this year?

Since we're on the subject, I'll just get straight to another matter.

Looking at your energy right now, I don't think you're suitable to be the homeroom teacher.

I've already asked Teacher Zhang who teaches Chinese.

She'll be the homeroom teacher, you'll be the subject head.

You're joking, right?

Pan Yuansheng, I've been a homeroom teacher since the first day I joined Zhen Hua. It's been 23 years!

But Class 3 is an elite class.

The school, parents and the Board of Education are paying very close attention.

I won't allow any decline among the students.

But Class 3's grades have not been affected!

Don't worry.

It won't be affected now, but what about the future?

Old Wu, I'm doing this for you.

It's for the students' good. It's not bad for you all.

You've decided?

If I don't make this decision, what should I do?

Can I force you to quit the show at the television network?

You're a big star now. A big scholar.

Teacher Zhang has agreed?

She's agreed, but she has a request, not to keep those two bursary students.

I've already said so much... What do you think?

It's pretty good. It's fragrant and crispy. Let me tell you, the pancakes at this shop that's just opened are really good.

- Auntie, give her one, too. - Okay!

I'l talking to you about Xin Rui, not the pancakes.

Auntie, please add more spring onions and chilli!

Hey, Mi Qiao!

I've already forgiven her, what else do you want from me?

I just think she's a little pitiful. We should help her.

This needs Supervisor Pan to lead.

Even if Supervisor Pan wants to keep them, Teacher Wu needs to agree.

Even if Teacher Wu agrees, it depends on her grades, too.

I've seen her other grades, they're all right. It's just English that's poor.

You call that "a little poor"? Just listen to her English pronunciation.

It's even more off than some London suburb.

Then what should we do?

Okay, okay, I'll think of something. Then you pay for the pancakes.

I just knew that you treated me better than anyone!

Stop it. You're going to shake my soul out of my body!

Auntie, add an egg for hers!

Hey, Xu Zhiqiang, have you come to buy a pancake, too?

You have good taste. Isn't it really tasty?

Why did he just leave?

Am I not worth greeting?

Aren't you tired of eating the same thing everyday?

Let me tell you. I recently discovered that this pancake taste even better once it's cold. The more I eat, the better it tastes.

You're clever, you're clever.

- President Chu! President Chu! - Mi Qiao?

What's happening with our Animation & Comic Book Club?

- There's progress. - Really?

In two months there'll be an empty classroom that you can use for your activities.

In two months? You might as well just say it's the year after!

Quite a number of clubs have their eye on it. Why don't you wait a little longer?

Oh no, you keep that classroom for us.

We'll stay in the little room for a while.

But surely you can let us hang up a sign first!

I was also going to tell you, that storeroom can't be used anymore.

It's going to be used for the bursary students' remedial classes.

What?

Why?

Also... the school is going to carry out checks on manner and behavior.

Next time, don't eat dirty street food like this.

- What are you talking about? - Xu Zhiqiang, what are you doing?

What did you just say? Say it again! What did you say?

Xu Zhiqiang, what's going on?

- I was talking about that pancake. - What about that pancake?

Are you the only one that's clean? You're a little master?

- Xu Zhiqiang, have you lost your mind? - Butt out, this has nothing to do with you.

Hey, Xu Zhiqiang!

Don't you know fighting will get you expelled from Zhen Hua?

Anyway, I don't belong at this school.

What did you say?

Then let me ask you. Why did you hit Chu Tiankuo?

No reason. I didn't like the look of him.

Xu Zhiqiang, you just got here. There's a lot that you're not used to.

This is not a problem. If there is any problem, you can tell me.

I'm your homeroom teacher. Is this really the right attitude to solve a problem?

Teacher, don't hide it from me. I've already heard.

What have you heard?

I've heard that you're going to be a subject head soon.

But right now I am still your homeroom teacher!

Teacher Wu, why are you still here? You should hurry back to your class and take a look.

What's happened?

When you asked to borrow my Walkman, I lent it to you without question.

If you don't know how to use it, I can teach you. Now you've broken my cassette!

I'm sorry. I'll compensate you, okay?

This is an out-of-print cassette that my dad brought for me from Hong Kong last month. Can you afford to compensate me?

That's enough, Chen Yao. Don't make a fuss. It's just a cassette.

Next month, my dad will go to Hong Kong. I'll ask him to bring you whatever you want, okay?

Don't you know what "out of print" means? I want this particular one.

Chen Yao, I was there when we were listening to this.

We were just listening to it and it got jammed on its own. It was like this when we took it out.

What do you mean by that?

You're blaming my Walkman?

We were listening to it using one earphone each. I'll compensate you.

Chen Yao, I remember now.

That thrift cassette shop has a cassette that's just like this one.

I'll buy it for you. It's not a big deal.

Why are you all coming for me?

We're the classmates! I'm the one whose lost the cassette!

I'm just saying this: Since these bursary students came to our class, how much trouble has there been?

Don't you all think it's a mess?

Hey, if it wasn't for the two of them you'd be at the bottom of the class. You should be content!

What is this? What's happened?

It's all right, Teacher Wu. It's all right.

- If it's all right then just go do your revision. Go on. - How is it no big deal?

I heard it all in the corridor.

Have I asked you?

You're still not off the hook! Sit down.

Ling Xiangqian, come here.

Xin Rui,

we've done our best, but they're looking down on us. Let's just go.

Actually that thrift cassette shop doesn't have that cassette.

You just wanted to help solve her problem, right?

Actually, you weren't listening to music with Xin Rui. You just wanted to help her.

We're both the same.

I don't know why, either...

When I see her, I think of myself.

Watching her cry, watching her apologize...

Watching her get stared at by so many people.

I just want to help.

Why do you think of yourself when you see her?

- I don't get this feeling. - I don't know why, either.

Do you have some bad memories from your childhood?

Actually...

Ah, it's nothing.

Then what's going on with you and Lin Yang? What's he to you?

This has nothing to do with him!

Okay, nothing to do with him...

Ah, yes! I have some bad news.

The Animation & Comic Book Club has lost its space again.

I thought there would be the storeroom, but when I asked Chu Tiankuo today he said

that the storeroom will be used for the bursary students' remedial classes.

Why are things so problematic for me?

Don't give up. We'll think of something.

I shouldn't have blocked Xu Zhiqiang when he hit Chu Tiankuo today!

Why did they fight?

I don't know why. I was just asking Chu Tiankuo about the club.

He said the pancake I was eating wasn't clean.

Xu Zhiqiang seemed to act because of what he said...

Would you like chili?

Yes.

How many eggs would you like?

Don't go over there. He doesn't want us to know.

Let's go.

Are you tired?

Mi Qiao, what are you thinking about?

Ah, nothing.

- Then I'm off. - Okay, bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

Hey, I'm here! Where are you?

I'm at the Little Barbecue House, and there's also a dry cleaners.

Turn around! Here! Here! - Behind me?

Brother, Sister, buy some flowers?

Old Wu, you're recording a program, and I have to buy you a meal.

You're really something!

You know, usually when you watch TV it seems pretty simple.

But when it came to shooting one, it's so complicated!

It's really not easy.

Hey, so do you intend to keep doing it?

I know what you want to say.

I heard the past few weeks received a pretty good response. So they want to make it a series.

And haven't you taken me out of being a homeroom teacher?

I don't want to be a subject head. Otherwise, whenever I go into Class 3 and look at the students, I just feel...

[ Resignation letter ]

We won't talk about work. We're eating.

Come on, this was just cooked.

Xin Rui! Why are you here?

They said that you live here.

Thank you for today.

You've been waiting here all night for me just because of this?

I have nowhere else to go anyway.

I was just memorizing vocabulary while waiting for you.

Zhouzhou...

I've been bullied by others all my life.

You're the only person who's nice to me.

Come with me!

Auntie, a pancake please!

Miss, we've closed!

Hey, Xu Zhiqiang, why are you here?

Why haven't you gone?

I had something to take care of with Zhouzhou, so we left late.

- You're Qiang's classmate? - Yeah!

- Wait a minute. I'll make you a pancake! - There's no need! It's nothing great, anyway.

Auntie, there's no need to go to the trouble. It's the same if I come tomorrow to eat!

You might not be able to eat this tomorrow.

Huh?

It's pretty cooling.

Hey, honestly,

those two bursary students, are you really going to send them back?

You're already leaving. You still care about the two of them?

Honestly speaking, I would like to keep them.

I'm the faculty supervisor. There are over a thousand students in Zhen Hua. I have to worry about everything, big or small.

I don't just need to be responsible for these two students. I have to be responsible for others, too.

I remember when we first graduated from university.

The first day we got to Zhen Hua, the way the other teachers

looked at us was just like how they look at those two kids today. They looked down on us.

Miss, you've seen for yourself.

Our family is not well-off, but Qiang works hard!

When he got into Zhen Hua, his dad and I felt

so great! We didn't sleep for two nights!

I've given up the work at home especially to run this stall to look out for Qiang.

Now that he's in the top three in class

as his mother, I feel really comforted.

Auntie, Xu Zhiqiang's studies are solid. Our Teacher Wu praises him often!

Really?

You're really great! But rein in that bad temper you got from your dad.

Don't make trouble, okay?

Auntie, don't worry. Xu Zhiqiang is doing well in school.

I just wanted to come here

and keep a better eye on him.

After such a long time, it's been too tiring for his dad to run a stall alone.

Also, Qiang said that his classmates were good, so I feel at ease!

- Auntie, go a little slower. - Okay, slower!

Let me teach you something.

Zhouzhou...

What are you doing?

That is...

To vent!

1, 2, 3...!

Feel good?

- Do you feel better? - Much better.

This is a good idea.

I used to do this often. Push them over, then right them one by one.

Once I've done the deed and broken a sweat, the stress disappears.

It's as if no matter what's happened, you can get up and start over. It feels great.

Xin Rui,

you must stay.

Because that's the only way you'll discover it's actually wonderful.

Right, let's talk about something happy. Do you remember when we did self-introductions

we sang an English song?

I remember the two of us sang with lots of flourish;

and when we were done, the old principal looked at us for a long time and said

"Both of you speak such lousy English, how did you get into our Zhen Hua?"

Are you imitating me?

And suddenly more than twenty years have passed!

Really, Pan, those two bursary students...

The English exam is the last chance. Whether they stay or not, it's up to them.

Okay.

There's still time.

Teaching with cartoons.

This is Teacher Wu's suggestion. We can learn English as we watch cartoons.

That's right. I did come up with this idea.

But you two made up the name, right?

I was talking about learning from films.

Teacher Wu, the concept is the same.

Since you're using our Animation & Comic Book Club's space, then you have to use our elements.

Ah, what a self-serving public service...

All right, let's begin!

We'll learn along with this, bit-by-bit.

Zhouzhou,

I can understand what's in the book, but I don't get the dialogue in films.

Xin Rui, I've looked at your exams this time. You can fill in the blanks and complete the comprehension section.

But you've lost too many points in your listening and writing.

And the speaking, I won't even talk about it. It's the weekend, so just treat this as the English corner.

Practice your speaking and listening.

- Zhouzhou, begin. - Okay!

Let's go!

All right, just this bit.

"When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world."

"When... When the... world... turns..."

- I can't speak fast enough. - Then just go slower, don't rush.

"When... When the... world... turns..."

All right, all right.

Our foundation is really poor, we're not like you. Whenever you mention English, I...

You get tense and you panic. I'll say it for you.

Zhouzhou, can I ask...

What does this mean?

This is a classic line from The Lion King: When the world turns its back on you, you can turn your back on the world, too.

Ah, this is the literal meaning. There's the subtext, too.

What is subtext?

Oh my god! If you can't even say it, why do you care about subtext? This worry is going to kill me.

Then what should we do? What other shortcut is there?

There's no shortcut, but there's another idea. We can also try learning with music.

Teacher Wu is really a lecturer, he's got so many ideas!

Don't mess about. This is the last trick I have. This is what I did when I was learning English back then.

Actually, my pronunciation was worse than yours.

But I liked singing, so I sang what I wanted to say.

Teacher, we can't even speak properly. How can we sing?

If you don't try, how do you know? Do you know any English songs?

Not even one? Surely not?

I know...

"Happy birthday to you..."

"Happy birthday to you..."

That's pretty good! So just use that dialogue, and sing it using the melody from the birthday song.

Teacher, don't mess about. How can I sing it?

How would you know if you don't try? You'll know if you try.

Actually, it's the same when you speak or sing. Okay, I'll start.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

"When the world turns back on you..."

"You turn your back on the world."

How about it? You try it.

1, 2, 3... start!

"When the world turns back on you..."

"You turn your back on the world..."

"When the world turns back on you..."

"You turn your back on the world..."

That's great!

Okay, let's continue!

Scream.

Can you do it or not?

Sick.

There once was a beggar...

...and hear this sound...

What it has... And then

Mi Qiao.

Next, let us take a look at the whole problem, number 44.

This problem is very easy to mess up. Which student is willing to try it?

This is the sun coming from the West side. Xu Zhiqiang, you try it first.

I pick A.

Here's the news. Computer technology is taking on the world.

That's incorrect. But your pronunciation is much better. Sit down.

Which other student also wants to try it?

Good luck to their son in the South Sea...

-... believed he should... - Response.

Responsible.

...End of a perfect day...

Teacher. I pick B, taking up.

Um, I've recorded the text in here.

If your pronunciation isn't that good, you can just read along with it first.

Don't get my cassette tape stuck again.

Let's take a look at the next problem. Which student wants to say it?

Teacher Wu, you know how to play the guitar?

What is there that Teacher Wu doesn't know? If I put you guys on the chords,

I can play you, too.

Okay. Today we'll continue with the music teaching method.

This song, I sang it on my first day at Zhen Hua, back when I first graduated from college.

That time, you guys all were a long time away from being born.

♫ Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away ♫

♫ Now it looks as though they're here to stay ♫

♫ Oh, I believe in yesterday ♫

♫ Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be ♫

♫ There's a shadow hanging over me ♫

♫ Oh, yesterday came suddenly ♫

Put your books away.

[Shanhai Televeision]

Teacher Wu, we're going to start!

Director, I was about to go looking for you. I've prepared a few questions

I would like the audience to cooperate with me to make it interactive.

All right! I'll take care of it. Let's begin!

Okay.

Look at the questions properly. This exam is especially important.

We're ready to begin.

We're about to begin, Teacher Wu!

Hey, Director! Sorry...

Didn't you say that there would be an audience when we begin taping?

There's an audience, aren't these the audience?

Technology has improved.

There's material. Audience material!

All right, the makeup is enough.

Teacher Wu, let's begin.

All right.

All right, ready!

3, 2, 1... Action!

Today, let's talk about conscription in the Song Dynasty.

Cut.

Oh, sorry, Director. Let's try again.

All right. One more time!

The questions cover quite a lot. Everyone needs to make the best of the time you have.

Hello, everyone.

Today, we would like to talk about the military system of the Song Dynasty.

Director... Director...

What's wrong, Teacher Wu?

I'm not doing this.

You're not doing this?

I'm not doing it.

All right, we'll stop here today.

We'll set a time another day.

I won't be coming anymore.

No, Teacher Wu, we've discussed this.

I can't quit the school. I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Isn't this a lesson, too?

This is a lesson for 40,000,000. When you go back, there's only 40!

It's 42.

Supervisor Pan... I'm not resigning.

You keep those kids.

I'll do a good job.

[English Exam]

Of all the clubs, you're the first to put up a sign.

Don't label me unfairly next time.

We'll definitely vote for you when you stand for re-election!

I might not stand for election next time!

Oh, yeah. You'll have to thank Lin Yang and Jiang Chuan. They were the ones who prepared the classroom.

- I'll be off then. - Thank you.

Bye-bye!

This is the place of my dreams!

[ To: Lin Yang. Where are you? I would like to formally invite you to join our Animation & Comic Book Club. ]

Attentive.

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

Hey, man!

Where are you going?

Do I know you?

Crazy.

A cake? Is it for someone's birthday?

If you have something to say, just say it.

All right. Then I'll be straight.

Stay away from Yu Zhouzhou in the future.

Who are you?

That's none of your business. You only need to know who you are.

What's up with that Lin Yang?

And I put in the effort to create an opportunity!

You're here!

Oh Caption! My Caption! Webinar - Adding CCs to videos using YouTube and Storyline 360 - Duration: 21:50.

Good evening everyone my name is Daniel Beatty and thanks for joining this

webinar called "Oh Caption! My Caption!" where for the next 15 minutes we'll be

looking at how to add closed captioning to video files for eLearning projects

using the free service of YouTube and the eLarning program Storyline 360.

I wanted to talk about what we're gonna be doing over these next 15

minutes so first we're going to discuss reasons why we feel closed captioning in

videos is important to the eLearning industry and then we're also gonna watch

myself go through a demonstration on how to add closed captioning to a video

using the eLearning program Storyline 360. Then we're going to try to apply

what we just saw and do our own video and closed captioning and then we're

going to open up the forum for general discussion around closed captioning and

ways that maybe you could be using it in your industry or already are.

Before I get going I am just curious if you guys wouldn't mind answering the first poll

question for me which is Have you used Storyline 360 before today?

OK so one of you has and two of you haven't so thank you for that no worries

it is a straightforward program and the second question is...

My experience working with closed captioning for videos is...

Have you done it before maybe just once

or twice is it something you've done from time to time is it something you're

doing all the time either because you feel it's important or because you have to?

OK great thank you for that so one person so use it once or twice

before and the other two people have used it all the time. Awesome OK so

next what we want to do is

discuss a little bit about closed captioning before we get started just

want to get you guys to open up Storyline 360 now if you can and also

make sure that that video is downloaded. So why is closed captioning important?

First of all accessibility reasons I feel like it's important for us to

make sure that regardless of your learning abilities that if the tools are

available for you to add to your learning experience and they're not

difficult to add they should be added. Depending on the industry that you

work in you might have this mandated upon you using something called section

508 compliance - which essentially means that if you're in an educational or

government industry you should be adding accessibility features like alternative

text and things like closed captioning to your online published learnings.

That's kind of a mandated reason but if you're in an industry like me where it's

not necessarily required you may just feel like you want to be adding it

because you appreciate additional people's learning styles.

Maybe the information you're conveying in a video is super technical and it's nice to have

that text there to make sure what you're saying they're understanding properly.

Maybe they're just somebody who likes having the text while they they go along

similar to how some people like to read while they're listening to an audio book.

Personally I'm I'm in an industry that's a very noisy environment

for the people I'm trying to train so just having that closed captioning there

is a good idea for for that reason just to make sure that our information is

being digested properly - really. There's other reasons I know we're gonna

get to that in the discussion and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to

turn to Articulate Storyline 360 and show you guys just how easy

that is to do yourself.

So my screen should

now beyond Storyline 360. Even if you've never seen Storyline 360 before you'll

notice that this user interface is very similar to PowerPoint and what we've got

here are slides and what I've done is I've added a video to a slide. If I

wanted to play this slide back in my eLearning program to see what the

learner would see when they're using it, what I've got is a video here that has

audio but there's really nothing going on for seeing any text here and that's

because there's no file loaded yet. I can interact with the the video but

that's about it. So, I want to add that file and how I'm

going to do that is by using YouTube. I take this video file and I go to the web -

go to YouTube. Here it is right here and what I've got is I want to upload a new

video. I'll do it from this screen. Pretty straightforward you just find the video

where it lives in your computer in my case I've got it under this project here

we're working on it's called fruitcake cookies and those of you in a previous

class of mine might have noticed this video already. While this is uploading

there's some things to keep in mind. First of all, I don't like these things

going live as soon as they're available when I'm still working on them, and if I

choose 'private' that's completely OK - it has no effect on YouTube adding its auto-

transcribing so that's what I like to do although it's personal preference. You

want to make sure your original language is English or at least matches the

original language of the video - but all of these settings by default are going

to be fine for doing this and while this is done,

and processing, you're going to be able to now go to your video manager and see

this file. YouTube needs a little bit of time to process it and then give you

the abilities to edit it, and we don't have the luxury of time right now so

similar to keeping with this theme, I'm just going to show you a "pre-baked" version

of that so to speak and what you would have here is after it's done uploading,

you would be able to go to subtitles and closed captioning and what you have is

you have the ability to add new subtitles or get the automatically

generated ones and that's exactly what we want to do. What you'll notice

here is YouTube has a nice interface where along this column you have the

transcripted audio as well as where it comes up in the video and this is the

file we need. We could make edits to this - in fact because it's just automatically

done it's not gonna get things like capitalization or when sentences change

and stuff like that so I'm going to go to edit and I'm gonna add in those features.

If I had more time I might do that for my entire video, but I'm going to just

take a couple seconds of it. I'm going to do "publish those edits"

PARTICIPANT: "Excuse me yeah um are

you demonstrating how to do that?" DAN: "Yeah basically..." P: "Oh like on my screen it

doesn't change anything so is that normal?" DAN: "On your screen are you trying to

do the example right now? P: "No no I'm just watching you and my screen..." P2: "The screen just says

'select files to upload' on YouTube your zoom is not targeted..." D: "Oh thank you for

telling me okay well I've been sharing the wrong

window. How about now?" P: "okay now we can see it" D: "Great OK

thanks for the feedback so what I've done is after I've done the video upload -

which is right here it's not finished processing yet, so I've just already

uploaded another version to show you what its going to look like when the

YouTube video is done processing. I've clicked on this video and up here at the

top we've got subtitles and closed captioning as our option. This is

what it will show you after a few minutes of YouTube being able to

automatically do this process, and this is exactly the file we need to somehow

download and add to our eLearning. We can take [the movie] right as it is but

because sometimes it doesn't do a good job of doing capitalizing and knowing

when certain sentences start and stop we can also edit this file and the

interface of YouTube is very user friendly. As I click on where I need to

edit, so does the video skip to that area and I can easily change the timing of

when these display, as well as things like adjusting the capitalization.

After I'm done doing that to the whole video (because if I did that for a few minutes

it would take us longer than we have), I'm going to go back into the one that I've

finished editing and under 'Actions' it says 'Download' and I have the option of

downloading three different kinds of subtitle files.

It doesn't really matter which one you use, unless your programs don't allow a certain one.

In my case what is the important thing to do is name the file the same as your

video because if you do that and it saves in the same location as the video

when we go back to the eLearning program, everything works super nicely

together right away. So, I've done downloading that video I

now go back to Storyline 360 and under my video options I can add captions - and

that's when we would do that ourselves and just bypass YouTube - but we don't

really want to do that with a video that's a couple minutes long when

YouTube can do it for us automatically if we can just wait a few minutes.

We're going to import the 'fruitcake cookies' subtitle file and now that we've done

that, when we go to preview this video again, because it's added a subtitle file

not only does the option to toggle it on and off exists it automatically is there

so I don't have to worry about anything else, and that's how simple it is to add

closed captioning to the videos. So now we're going to try it ourselves - uh oh -

but, it should be pretty straightforward. I understand some of you may have

Storyline 360 downloaded others may not that's OK - if you can't follow along,

I'll go slowly for those that can. For those on the call, Lan were you able to

download Storyline 360 and the video file?" LAN: "Sorry I got caught up on something

today I did not" DAN: That's OK, I didn't mean to call you out but Joni did you do that by

chance? I'm just curious how to proceed with [the webinar]..." JONI: "I did not Dan" DAN: "OK no problem

so what we're gonna do is make this super simple and straightforward. I need

to find my 'Sirisuly Good Cookies' video. So I'm going to insert my video from a file

and it's called 'Siriusly Good Cookies' It's kind of an homage to the video I

just had. So what happens is after I drop it in

and preview, same thing as before - I can play back the video and there's audio,

but there's no closed captioning. And, if we did closed captioning using YouTube

the automatic way, my dog's name is Sirius and if there's seriously good

cookies there's no way those two words are gonna be spelled differently from a

robot on YouTube so we're going to do that ourselves right? How we do that is we're

going to go back to YouTube and we're going to upload this video to get the closed

captioning capabilities. I'm gonna go to YouTube, I'm going to up choose the

upload option,

I'm going to select my video 'Sirisuly Good Cookies' and it's a short video so it's

going to upload very quickly again I'm going to change it to 'private' just because

I don't want this going public until it's ready. I don't have to worry about

these settings, but again just to make sure I wanted to show you that you don't

have to do anything there. This video is basically done, so after I go to the

video manager it should now already be available for me to edit - which it is.

Under 'subtitles and closed captioning' you'll notice it hasn't had enough time

to automatically add it. That's okay, I'm going to teach you guys how to do it using

YouTube following the same methods. So there's three ways to do subtitles:

You could upload it, but that would be redundant because that's what we're

trying to do right now, you could transcribe and auto-sync - that

option is let's say you have all of the script for your video but none

of its in a nice friendly voice over subtitle way you would you would use

this option - but we're going to create them from scratch just from watching the

video playback. What we've got here is the video as well as the ability to

play it, and when the audio comes in. So all we have to do is play back the video

(this is the only time I let my dog eat baked goods) and what we're going to do is

add in our transcription. So *typing* "those are some seriously good cookies" and as I add

it it adds to the timeline. I can just drag and drop it where it needs to go

and check to make sure that it's at the right timing.

I still have to add the rest so let's see how I'm doing... okay so that's a

little too long, but then I can break *typing* "aren't they Sirius?" and as you can tell

because I have the ability to do this myself

I'm also accounting for the different spelling of that homonym serious so now

as I play the whole thing back...Perfect - well I don't want to be perfect, but it's

it's pretty good. So now what we do is we save those changes

Here are the

subtitles that we just created, and if we click on it, now we have the

ability to download it, which is exactly what we're doing as before. As you

remember (hopefully) we want to name this file the same name as the video which is

"Siriusly Good Cookies"

All right, if we go back to Storyline 360,

we can import that file so now when we playback [the video],

it's there! So those are two different ways you can add subtitles to your

videos. Storyline 360 is a pretty adapted solution where it is good for

accessibility so I do want to point out that you can use the program to edit

them as well depending on which user interface you like go for it but for the

longer ones I like to let YouTube do it first and then deal with the

consequences later. So anyway, now that we've run through those two examples, I'm

just curious if anyone would like to share some ways that you intend to or

currently use closed captioning in eLearning?"

PARTICIPANT: "I am definitely going to try that Dan.

You know I have been trying doing

caption myself but I found it's very hard because I didn't know the YouTube

had this automatic captioning function so I've been doing that myself and I

give up after five minutes. *laughter* I'm a language teacher I always

found this authentic materials I like to share with my students and I like to add

English subtitles or captions down there it was just too much work for me but

now I'm gonna to try. If my video language is Chinese then I...I have not

tried, but I'm going to try to see whether YouTube is able to have the script down

in Chinese." DAN: "Great! I want to show you something else that we kind of glossed

over but based on your scenario one of the things in the info and settings is

depending on your material, you also have the ability to,

in the 'advanced settings' --> allow viewers to contribute translated titles

descriptions and subtitle / closed captioning. So if you're having issues

doing it yourself either for time reasons or for language barrier reasons

you can also allow others to contribute that and over time hopefully "power in

numbers" will filter it out to the appropriate subtitle file for you." P: "Ok thank you."

*typing responses for discussion capture*

DAN: "Great okay well I'd love to hear more feedback I would personally

like to say that I like to use closed captioning every opportunity I get

because it doesn't take very long and anytime you can quickly add something

that greatly benefits the learner I think it's time well spent.

Thank you guys very much for attending I'll make this presentation available to

you guys and appreciate the time that you've taken tonight to -." P: "Thank you Dan I think your your

seminar your webinar is very informative and I appreciate you spending time and

showing us this." DAN: "Thanks Lan thank you very much." "P2: Yes thank you Dan. Thank you very much" P1: "Good Job!"

DAN: "Good night, thank you."
