As video content continues to be a dominant form of instruction in higher education, ensuring that videos are both engaging and pedagogically sound is crucial for student success. This session will provide practical strategies for creating high-quality educational videos that foster active learning and increase student engagement.
Drawing from established multimedia learning theories, participants will explore principles such as cognitive load, dual coding, and personalization to enhance the instructional quality of videos. We will also discuss the dos and don'ts of video recording, such as maintaining concise video length, pacing content effectively, ensuring clear visuals, and avoiding overly complex or distracting elements.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights into video production techniques that they can use on their own phone or devices, as well as how to plan their video content. By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to develop impactful educational videos that not only meet quality standards, but also align with pedagogical goals to improve student learning.
