iModeling allows you to organise your own video models. Children also receive rewards for watching their videos. iModeling has been intelligently designed to support even the most technically challenged adult to begin video modeling. The app walks the user through the steps in establishing a reward based video modeling library.
Rewards: You can add a picture of the reward at the end of the video. The student can earn up to 5 stars for watching the video.
Editing: You can edit your footage simply to remove unwanted sections.
List of Videos: Videos are listed under a child's name. The list shows a picture of the first screen of the video plus the title.
The iModeling app is based on research into Video Modeling conducted by Autism SA and the Disabilities Research Unit at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide, South Australia.
There are some additional personal safety features to this app. The adult can enter a password so they can control who watches the videos. |
