Although I wasn't in class for the discussion, I kind of have an idea of my group's project - VLOG's or video logs. From my understanding, students are to create vlog's three (3) times - beginning of class, midway through class, and at the end. Students are to document their speech progress via video, so that students can visually see themselves progressing in the language being taught/learned. Students are to record speech talking about their interests/hobbies amongst other topics in which the student is assigned by instructor; minimum three (3) minutes for the first video, and then five (5) or more in the ones that follow.
The rationale behind is bluntly put, to prevent cheating. With vlog's, students are conditioned to perform as if the camera were another person, and they were engaging in conversation. With audio podcast's, students have the opportunity to "just read" from a script. However vlog's, although open to editing, put students on the spot. They can learn more by also observing physical gestures/movements of the speaker.
