A
video lesson or lecture is a video which presents educational material for a topic which is to be
learned.
The format may vary. It might be a video of a teacher speaking to the camera, photographs and text
about the topic or some mixture of these.

Advantages:
1. Easy to access anytime
2. Learning at an individual pace
3. More effective learning
4. Opportunity for self study
5. ideal for distance learning students, part time students and inclusive learning
Disadvantages
1. problem in technology use
instructional model built around self-made videos that
empowered students at all levels to learn at their own pace
and build mastery skill-by-skill. We used these screencast-
style videos:
To replace traditional lecture-style direct instruction,
freeing us up to work directly with individual students;
To give directions for projects and other complex tasks;
and
To provide remediation on skills that students might need
to practice.
ENHANCE ENGAGEMENT
Simply sitting and watching videos can lead students to
lose focus—the best instructional videos keep
them actively engaged. Research shows that when
students take notes or answer guided questions while
watching, they retain material better than students who
watch passively. Embedding questions in your
instructional video using programs like Edpuzzle can
improve student interaction and provide you with
invaluable formative assessment data. Students should
think of video-watching as a task they perform actively
in order to learn.
Perhaps the most important element of a strong video is
authenticity. The most effective blended instruction isn’t
pretty—it’s personal. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and
make sure your authentic personality shines
through. Research shows that videos in which the instructor
speaks in a natural, conversational manner, with an
enthusiastic tone, are the most engaging. In our experience,
students really appreciate knowing that it’s their actual
teacher behind the video.
students can access anywhere and anytime from first exposure to review and
remediation.
For certain topics and concepts video can help novice students who have lower prior
knowledge process the concept you are teaching more easily (Reiser & Dempsey,
2007).
Used to provide instructional material as an alternative to in class live lecture. It
makes use of the subject matter and expertise of the instructor while also allowing
the instructor to be “a guide on the side” in an active learning environment. Note, this
does not suggest digitizing an in-class lecture but redesigning a lecture to serve a
new purpose.
It does not guarantee in-depth learning and thus should be paired with a meaningful
learning activity.

Whether you are training employees or teaching school-age students, you want them to retain
as much of the information you present as possible. Some people are more visual learners
and benefit from seeing demonstrations, while others are more audio-centric and learn better
with verbal explanations.
The videos allow a classroom setting to come to life, offering different perspectives and tools
that students might not normally be able to take advantage of in their learning. This improves
student engagement, according to Water Bear Learning.
It Allows for Repetition
The ability to pause, rewind, stop and play a recorded video tutorial from a DVD or
online helps students replay important points that they need to remember, which is
essential for memory retention in preparation for exams. In a live classroom, it's easy
to miss what the instructor says at any given moment, but with a video tutorial, notes
can be rechecked for accuracy. A lesson in video format allows students to focus in on
specific segments, as well as play the information in its entirety.
It Provides Variety
Video tutorials offer a multidimensional experience that may combine charts, slides,
photos, graphics, narration, screenshots, on-screen captions, music and live video.
This allows students with different learning abilities to retain information in a method
more suited to them.
The more that tools are utilized in a video tutorial, the more ways a student has to
focus on, comprehend and retain the information. Many of these multimedia aids might
be too complex or time-consuming to regularly utilize in a physical classroom

Video can be used in two primary ways, 1) support or enhance the understanding of course content,
or 2) as the primary mode of content acquisition. Students can watch video content either in-class or
outside of class depending on the instructional need.
Try to support the verbal information being presented with graphics that support the
concepts being discussed.
PURPOSES FOR USING VIDEO
Building background knowledge on a topic. We know that
students learn best when they take in information via
multiple modalities —through reading, drawing, listening to
the teacher’s oral explanations, and viewing visual media.
We also know, from much research, that using visuals is key
for those acquiring a new language. In California and many
other U.S. states, we have a large number of English
language learners (ELLs) in our schools. Images and videos
support the learning of new content, concepts, and ideas.
educators are striving to transform learning environments to meet
changing needs. Students must be prepared to compete and contribute in
a global economy.
Posting videos, lectures, research papers, and links to share additional information is easy
enough to do and it can make the difference to a struggling student afraid to ask a
question.
