Instructional Design PDN: Lights, Camera, Learning: Strategically Integrating Video in Learning Experiences

Lights, Camera, Learning: Strategically Integrating Video in Learning Experiences   

Who remembers the feeling of relief when an A/V cart with a projector or TV rolled into your classroom?  Similarly, how do our learners react when a video is included in classroom instruction, an eLearning, or as a standalone unit? They might feel “edutained” or excited for a break in the action that engages them via a different modality. 

Video provides a vehicle for presenting content while telling a story or giving concepts a more concrete form.  As instructional designers, we are asked to include video in our deliverables for many reasons and have plenty of tools at our fingertips.  How are you building and integrating video in learning experiences? 

Join the Instructional Design PDN as we explore:

• Part 1: Instructional use cases for video
• Part 1: Video design process
• Part 2: Video creation tools and techniques (Vyond, Camtasia, Synthesia, and more) 

This is part 1 of a 2-part series. Part 1 will focus on video design, and Part 2 will focus on development.
