Summary
The Event Capturing Device (ECD) is a tool for supporting reflections developed to clarify theories of learning in workshops and to train practitioners. ECD is software mounted on the iPad. The practitioner records workshop activity on video, selects a number of important events and scenes from the recording, and observes them. A characteristic of ECD is that the interpretation of a scene is not fixed, but constant observation produces new interpretations. As a result, the practitioner gains the capacity to understand events from a number of angles. During the observation in reflection, several annotation functions are used to add notes directly to the video image. Besides this, “differences and connections between before and after the selected scene can be understood”, and “understanding can be intensified through different interpretations of the same scene”. Several events to be observed can be grouped into a story, and the significance of learning is intensified.
