Abstract

This article introduces the setting-up of an online digital video database by the teacher education institute. An investigation into the application of the online digital videos database to support student teachers learning to teach during their teaching practice period is discussed, which includes the details of trimming the videos of teaching practice into learning objects for peer evaluation in order to construct good teaching & learning practices for sharing. Analysis of peer evaluation and feedbacks in the discussion forum among three student teachers involved in this study was conducted to gain a better understanding of the learning objects chosen as good practices of teaching and the nature of suggestions given. The focus group discussion afterwards provided evidences of student teachers' learning in the process of sharing learning objects on the online digital video database.
