A world-first paper uncovering the elements behind video effectiveness for school-age learners.
This paper is a must-read for teachers, education bodies, policy makers, academics and multi-media producers seeking to understand the impact of video on academic performance and student wellbeing in K-12 environments.
The paper looks at how three specific areas influence the effectiveness of videos in learning environments:
So, we’ve set out to deepen our understanding of how video influences learning outcomes, and what specifically is needed for an instructional video to be effective in the classroom. ClickView’s Global Education Lead Tara Walsh and Professor Michael Henderson from Monash University have examined the empirical research available on the impact of instructional videos specifically in K-12 settings.
Key Findings
- Research has shown that video does help develop factual and conceptual knowledge
- Video design principles work best when used in combination e.g. short video length + segmentation + interactive learning activities + human-like characters
- Video interactivity like learner control, tests, key prompts and questions can enhance learning motivation and engagement in middle and high-school settings.
- Using video in flipped classroom interventions can be effective when barriers such as motivating students to complete the pre-class tasks are removed.
