Video is one of the most powerful, motivating, and visual ways to learn. Videos can be used to promote critical thinking and active learning. The use of videos in education has become a lot more mainstream due to the accessibility and ease of use of equipment and software, but also due to the growing realization of the pedagogic benefits of video content.<\/p>\n

In a recent Technology Enhanced Learning<\/a> article, Phil Vincent suggested ten ways to use video in education. Those suggestions are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Record content for an online or \u2018flipped<\/a>\u2019 course<\/li>\n
  2. Record an interview<\/li>\n
  3. Create a video introduction to a course or topic<\/li>\n
  4. Create a screencast<\/a> demonstrating a tool, technique, process, or software<\/li>\n
  5. Record lectures\/presentations for revision<\/li>\n
  6. Capture a recording with a green screen or PowerPoint slides<\/li>\n
  7. Create a microlecture<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Record assessment guidelines for students<\/li>\n
  9. Review\/present a journal article or text book<\/li>\n
  10. Record module evaluation feedback<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In Phil\u2019s article \u201c10 Ways to Use Video in Your Teaching<\/a>\u201d he provides examples of each of these. If you are interested in seeing examples of any of these refer to the article.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, it is best practice to include transcripts and closed captions with your videos<\/strong>. Many people believe closed captioning and transcripts only benefits students who have a hearing impairment or have a language deficit. This could not be further from the truth. Closed captioning and transcripts can also help students with cognitive disabilities, as well as learners accessing videos in noise sensitive environments, learners accessing the internet with low bandwidth or with a limited data plan, and basically all learners. Presenting information in multiple ways can help address the diverse needs of learners in the classroom and engage students on multiple levels. <\/p>\n

    Attend the upcoming \"Creating Accessible Course Materials: Transcripts and Closed Captions<\/a>\" workshop to find out how to make your videos accessible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
