Effective Use of Videos

1. Effective Use of Videos Created by: Giselle Sabina

2. Learning Objectives By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of recorded video versus live feed. • Discuss the hardware and software needed.

3. Agenda • Introduction to video instruction • Difference between Synchronous & Asynchronous • Hardware & Software • Advantages & Disadvantages • Quiz • Evaluation

4. Education “Most forms of learning, distance or otherwise, have some form of content as the basic teaching material. Additionally, good pedagogical practice typically includes instructional strategies that support learner interaction with the content.” -Kanuka, H. (2011)

5. Video Use According to Surprise and Mitchell (1994), videos can be effective if used properly. The authors suggested that using videos “to introduce material, to help learners visualize the key points of a concept, to relate them to other concepts, and to help students see real world applications of ideas explored in the classroom” (p.533) was most effective. - Surprise & Mitchell (1994)

6. Video Postings “For video lectures to be most effectively used by students, they should appeal to students learning style preferences.” - Brecht, H. & Ogilby, S. (2008)

7. Use of Videos Videos have been used in traditional class settings. As technology has advanced, the use of videos as also increased. Today, videos are being used in virtual schools and distance education, as well as traditional classrooms.

8. Why Use Videos?

9. Video Postings • Synchronous • Virtual meetings • Chat rooms • Audio/visual conferencing • Two-way broadcasts • Asynchronous • Pre-recorded audio/visual recordings • Podcast • CDs • Discussion boards • Wikis • Blogs

10. Hardware & Software Recommended for Asynchronous • Webcam • Microphone • Video creating & editing software • Examples: iMovie, Windows Movie Maker

11. Hardware & Software Recommended for Synchronous • Webcam • Microphone • Video streaming software

12. Do you have a preference?

13. Advantages • Synchronous • Interactive • Immediate response to questions • Sharing of knowledge • Immediate access to the instructor • Asynchronous • Convenient • Flexibility • Self-paced • More time for thought on questions • Accessible for review

14. Disadvantages • Synchronous • Requires a set time • Requires a set location • More restricted • Asynchronous • Minimal participation • Time for feedback or responses

15. Do you feel differently after viewing the advantages and disadvantages of each?
