  18. Suggestions and Recommendations • Use of Short video clips/ films containing prominent campus personalities, interactive maps and important landmarks and traditions can be the best way to introduce students and their families to available facilities in the campus. This is a great solution for learners/students, who are unable to visit in person. Keep videos brief and targeted on learning goals. • Use of audio and visual elements to convey appropriate parts of an explanation; make them available complementary rather than redundant. • Use signaling to highlight important ideas or concepts. NACLIN-2018, October 4-6, 2018, GITAM, Visakhapatnam

  19. Suggestions and Recommendations • Use a conversational, enthusiastic style to enhance engagement. • Embed videos in a context of active learning by using guiding questions, interactive elements, or associated homework assignments. • Educational organizations can gain great freedom by making use of videos to reach their broad users. They can be used to keep possible current and former students involved and engaged. • The videos can be used in a variety of ways in the educational setting, including viz. Introducing Your Institution to Potential Students. NACLIN-2018, October 4-6, 2018, GITAM, Visakhapatnam

  20. Discussions and Conclusions: • Based on findings of the present case study and review of the literature the study discusses many pros and cons of video in the process of e-L and recommends some critical point to improve the educational video-system further. • These available new technologies such as Open EyA and Thecus NAS server, Plex Media server are prevalent mainly in S&T and its user community. Its updates/new releases are readily available, robust, stable. Learning, using and implementing is also very simple. • There is also no need to employ a dedicated workforce during recording and post-recording. Every library and information science (LISc) professional is enthusiastic to know about the Internet technology, i.e., how to use it directly by acquiring necessary skills especially the Internet. • Hence, it can be concluded that implementation of these new technologies in various S&T organizations in India would be rewarding, as per its present applications and ICLs and LISc professionals have to play an important role. The initiatives undertaken by the IUCAA library are the decisive steps towards ensuring visibility to the institute's publications. NACLIN-2018, October 4-6, 2018, GITAM, Visakhapatnam
