How do videos help make learning easier?
Studies have shown that the use of short video clips allows for more efficient processing and memory recall. The visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each user to process information in a way that's natural to them. In a nutshell, videos are good teachers.
Are video lessons effective?
Engagement: Studies have shown that video learning has positive outcomes on multiple levels, including increased motivation and deeper learning, and can specifically impact students' ability to facilitate discussions and identify problems.
How can I make my learning video effective?
Keep videos brief and targeted on learning goals. Use audio and visual elements to convey appropriate parts of an explanation; consider how to make these elements complementary rather than redundant. Use signaling to highlight important ideas or concepts. Use a conversational, enthusiastic style to enhance engagement.
Why are videos effective in the classroom?
With videos in the classroom, educators can personalize instruction at a whole new level. It's much easier to tailor video instruction to the needs of each individual student (or class, grade, reading group, etc.) as compared to classroom instruction, where you have to pause to give one-on-one attention.
