Video

Video has become an indispensable tool in education. It is accessible and flexible and can be accessed from anywhere at any time, allowing students autonomy in their learning. Although video is often used to capture lecture material it can also be harnessed to do so much more. Videos can be edited to help show a wealth of information on the screen, helping students to better understand the information presented to them. With professional video editing software, the TEL team produces high-quality teaching and learning videos integrating images, diagrams and animation alongside the subject-matter expert.

Video as an orientation tool

Video is an excellent orientation tool in educational settings, particularly for providing practical demonstrations before students engage in hands-on activities. Videos can demonstrate the proper use of tools and techniques, providing a clear example for students to emulate. This pre-exposure helps to build confidence and reduce anxiety and can be revisited as many times as required.

Video as a revision tool

Video can reinforce learning that students will be assessed on. This can be particularly valuable with practical assessments where students may have only had one face-to-face opportunity to observe a practical procedure. With a video, students can pause, rewind, and replay any sections that they may find challenging allowing them to serve as an excellent revision tool.

Video as an interactive tool

Interactive videos capture and maintain viewers' attention more effectively than traditional videos. The inclusion of quizzes and discussion boards encourages active participation, making the learning experience more dynamic and engaging. The FeedbackFruits interactive video tool is an excellent way of making your videos more engaging and encouraging social learning.
