Scott Rabalais
Head Men's and Women's Swimming Coach at Savannah College of Art and Design "As a coach of a growing and dynamic college swimming program, Dartfish gives me the extra edge to help our athletes achieve and surpass their goals. It also serves as an attractive recruiting tool for prospective student-athletes. Dartfish elevates our swim team!"
The collection of good quality reference clips
This case study is about the project teachers' experiences on the collection of good quality reference clips. Reference clips are the digital video images that a teacher will use in their teaching.
Dr. Frank Spaniol
Professor, Kinesiology Department Texas A&M University “Dartfish is a powerful, user friendly software program that allows students to quickly become proficient at capturing and analyzing various sport skills and human movements.”
Dr. Jeff Bauer
Instructor at SUNY Cortland and Co-Director of the Biomechanics Laboratory and the Associate Director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education “Dartfish is the easiest and best product I’ve ever used for capturing and working with digital video. It is my primary tool for demonstrating digital video capture and analysis concepts. Dartfish has provided me with a tool that brings alive many key biomechanical principles of movement that are so hard to fully understand and appreciate when presented in standard classroom settings.”
Dr. Kimberly Kraebel
Assistant Psychology Professor at SUNY Cortland "During an operant learning procedure, in which an infant learns to leg kick for visual and auditory reinforcement from a crib mobile, the infant’s leg movements will be videotaped. This videotape will then be analyzed using Dartfish. Dartfish seemed to be an appropriate choice given that it is uniquely designed to allow for specialized analysis of motor movements."
Dr. Tona Hetzler
ATC, LAT, Oklahoma State University “With student’s being such visual learners, Dartfish is not only a wonderful teaching tool for Athletic Training, it is also a valuable assessment tool. We can now review with each student their practical skills and provide verbal and visual feedback to them.”
Patrick McHenry
Head Strength Coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker, Colorado "After using Dartfish in my weight lifting classes, and with a wide variety of sports, I would recommend this software to all high school coaches and physical education teachers. The students gain a greater appreciation for their skill, when they recognize their errors, after seeing it done correctly."
Julie Howell
Physical Education Technician at Evesham High School in Worcestershire, England “Dartfish has made a huge impact on how pupils learn and evaluate. This has been shown in the improvement in the standards of the students. The Leaders Course has allowed 6th form students to work with younger pupils and gives them another method of communicating coaching points. The 6th form students are ages 16-18 years. These are the last two years that students in the UK attend school; after this they choose either employment or higher education i.e. university.”
Todd Walsh
Teacher and Swimming Coach, Bloomington, Minnesota “Dartfish has made the unexplainable - explainable. Dartfish has also allowed me to get into the science of movement and sport and take 8th graders to a whole new level of PE experience that no one else is getting.”
Testimonials
Andrew Hammond
The Compton Technology School"GCSE pupils studying trampolining, have found the 'InTheAction' feature of Dartfish, extremely useful in enabling them to instantly compare their performance to the perfect model."
Steve Kibble
Adviser for PE, Devon LEA"Video- based learning in PE using Dartfish software is providing teachers with opportunities to reflect on their practice and to become better educators."
Matt Topliss
Advanced Skills Teacher in PE and ICT"Dartfish has been instrumental in the enhancement of teaching and learning across all areas of the curriculum. Students from the ages of 5-22 can now use video analysis across the curriculum to improve understanding. Dartfish encourages and develops independent learning amongst all students who use it."
Mel Court
ICT Manager - Royal Alexandra and Albert School"I installed the Dartfish USB dongle and License server on a member server in the domain. This was simple and straightforward, only taking a few minutes. The Dartfish software is very easy to install on an RM CC3 network using the standard application building tools and the ACL detective to construct the client package using the supplied MSI. Once I installed the dependency packages of Media Player 10 and Macromedia Flash 8 it was a simple case of deploying the package to the workstations. Dartfish Professional was installed as a stand alone on two of our teachers' laptops, to complete the project; this too did not take long and was extremely straight forward."
Lee Surtees
Advanced Skills Teacher, The Deanes School"In the modern day world of education, more and more students learn best when they see visual interpretation. Dartfish can unlock visual ideas, giving the teacher the power to simply manage their themes across all subjects and key stages. Dartfish is so simple to use that the role of teacher can be handed over to students, allowing them to express and evaluate themselves immediately, using this technology."
Christine Majeau
PE Teacher, Allan A. Martin Senior Public School, Ontario, Canada"Using the immediate video replay of Dartfish was refreshing for me with regards to reinforcing what I have been saying when providing feedback to the girls: A picture is worth a thousand words."
Alan Lindsay
School Inspector, Physical Education, Warwickshire LA"After selecting Dartfish software for our county wide video based ICT project in physical education, five years ago, we have certainly not been disappointed. The outstanding value alone of this work in bringing evaluation alive in physical education is undoubtedly significant. Alongside this have lain the unquestionable benefits of increased pupil motivation and in particular the self reflection of teachers in the way they work with learners. The value of the Dartfish software in this has been seen through the continuing development of an already outstanding product over this time. In particular, the unique capacity that this software has for intelligent accessing and storage of individual clips and the ease with which these are used and modified to support the learning process, truly making the invisible visible".
Rebecca Mountford
Bridgemary Sports College“My GCSE class use Dartfish for observation and analyisis. One of the students said 'I didn't realise I swing my arms across my body when I sprint. Dartfish made me see that in slow mode and I know now what I need to do to improve my sprint technique'. 'Dartfish is great, it allows us to see ourselves in slow motion helping us to find out what we are doing wrong and make it better'. 'Actually seeing it yourself is better than being told what you need to work on by a teacher'. The staff have commented that 'it changes the way we deliver and plan for our GCSE lessons, allowing us to use visual and verbal feedback with the students. They are able to use the software to help them with coursework and refine their observation and analysis skills. An invaluable piece of equipment we wouldn't be without'.
Iain Stanger
National Development Officer for Physical Education, Learning and Teaching Scotland(L.T.S.)/ Principal Teacher of P.E., Banchory Academy"I can honestly say that the Dartfish software has been one of the best acquisitions for my department in recent years. It has given a new impetus to both the staff and the pupils. Initially we used it to give visual feedback to pupils which they responded to enthusiastically. Staff enjoyed using the software and were motivated to develop its use. Within my teaching Dartfish plays a central role in the internal assessment of Higher and Intermediate 2 PE being used by the pupils to overtake the learning outcomes "gathering and analysis of data" and the "monitoring and evaluation of programmes of work". We have a library of model performance clips that we use for the focus of core and certificate PE lessons or to facilitate enhanced evaluations of pupil performances and we have started to explore the use of the media booklets to develop pupil evaluation tasks to support the Standard Grade PE course and for the development of teaching resources and possible homework tasks. On a personal level Dartfish has been extremely motivational and fired my imagination for expanding its use. Dartfish has also been the catalyst for developing a wider interest in ICT in PE and the software is central to my vision of developing a digital department."
Dr. David Kelly MA
Headmaster, Evesham High School"In a wide-ranging 90 minute discussion of the impact of the sports college on EHS Judith Matharu commented that “The use of ICT in P.E. and specifically Dartfish had particularly impressed inspectors, both in the sophistication of the package in helping students evaluate their own performance rapidly and thus understand how to achieve higher standards and in the very effective involvement of the P.E.Technician and the students themselves in confidently using ICT to record and evaluate performance. The learning support and the student involvement, participation and understanding were of very high quality.”
Tim Medwin
Elizabeth College, Tasmania, Australia“Our students have taken their self-reflection tasks to a completely new level by using the Dartfish Mediabook technology. The technology has been simple for the kids to pick up and when required Glen and his team have been phenomenal in the way they have delivered training and support".
Cameron Whitford
St Monicas College, Epping, Australia“Every teacher of physical education has Dartfish on their computers in my school. The Dartfish software is not only the best video analysis software on the market it is also the easiest to use and we see it as a valuable tool at every year level. The teacher version allows me to provide instant feedback to my students as well as tagging and editing games and lessons easily for review. I used to use Swinger but the Dartfish software is a world ahead”.
James Chantelle
PLC, Perth, Australia“Dartfish dramatically decreased the time it took my students to learn new skills”.
Simon Doyle
Jean Paul College, PE, Australia“Finally, some Teacher friendly software actually made for PE Teachers”.
Allan Booth
