Video for learning

You can use videos in your teaching, for example, in the following ways:

  • lecture recordings and/or live video broadcasts of lectures
  • self-produced video clips as part of e-learning material
  • documentaries, short video clips and films as illustrations and as a basis for teaching discussions
  • video learning diaries
  • video feedback to students
  • video production as a learning tool (communication, art, expression, narrative, thesis)
  • video-based user guides and instructions
  • research and observation (e.g. teaching samples, various deliverables)
  • video teasers to promote future training courses

Take these into account when choose tools and methods

  • Why: What are the objectives, goals and message?
  • Time: Real-time or time-independent communication?
  • Interaction: one-way or two-way communication?
  • Transparency: for all or for a limited audience?
  • Who: Who is the viewer, the target audience?
  • Who: Who will script, produce, shoot, edit and publish?
  • Permissions: consideration of copyright, contracts, rights of use.
  • How: production and release schedule.
  • Where: where to publish, distribution channels?
  • When: life-cycle of the video, i.e. “best before” date.
