Video for learning

Video for learning is great at some things, not so great at others.

Great summary of recent evidence from Donald Clark.

What can we learn from Netflix? (Use technology appropriately not just the buzzwords)

Episodic vs. Semantic memory (Remembering the right things from video isn't as easy as you think)

Shooting star (memory is really short)

How long do learners engage? (Aim for 6 minutes!)

Student control of video? (Yes please)

Video, audio, text on screen (No thanks)

Talking heads or not? (Not always)

Recommendations on speech. (Avoid formal)

Perspective in learning video. (The learner's perspective please)

How does image size affect learning? (More is more)

How does video quality affect learning? (Audio more important that video)

How do video cuts and pace affect learning? (More than you think)

Should we chunk video? (yes)

What should the relationship be between video and active learning? (make the obvious link)

What do you do after/between video chunks? (Get learners to explain)
