Steps and considerations to take into account when using videos as didactic tools

Students create their own video

A balance has to be struck between learning about filmmaking, learning about the subject and acquiring other relevant skills.

Presentation/performance skills and feedback

Capture, review, and enhance performance of individuals and groups through reflection and discussion.

Videoing real events in situ

Capture an action that cannot be physically brought into the classroom.

Video case studies/simulations/role plays

Simulate an event such as a lab experiment where safety might potentially be at risk where the students can experiment with different responses and behaviours.

Video blogs ‘think aloud’

Students can gain a greater insight into the issues at stake.

Educational blogs have proliferated where the subject (learner or teacher) record their thoughts and actions.

Instructional ‘how to videos’ of a practical activity

Video is used to show the process, procedures, and different stages of doing something concrete

Using authentic archive video material

A common route into educational video for teachers is to use existing video and audio archive resources.
