Using pre-recorded videos for content delivery in online or blended courses (or as a supplement to in-person courses), offers several advantages for students compared to synchronous lectures, including increased accessibility, adaptable pacing, and the flexibility to re-watch as needed. For instructors, it provides advantages in terms of increased re-useability and consistency across sections, editing/trimming of mistakes, and extended reach with no limit to the number of possible viewers. However, watching videos is typically a passive process that does not require students to engage with the material or each other. Since active engagement is well-established as providing a superior learning experience compared to passive watching and listening, this raises the question of whether it’s possible to produce videos that also promote active learning, in order to get the best of both worlds. This workshop is all about bringing together the best tips, tools and lessons learned in our science education community on how to make fun and engaging educational videos for our courses, without requiring excessive time, resources or technical expertise to produce. We'll discuss the challenges and pitfalls of different types of videos, strategies to successfully overcome those difficulties, evidence of student learning, and the personal outcomes we've experienced from these efforts. The goal for this session will be to create a collaborative "cheat sheet" of best practices, principles, and available tools to enhance the quality and efficiency of our educational videography. |
