Principles and Guidelines for Maximizing Student Learning from Video…
-
Consideration of three elements for video design and implementation can help instructors maximize video’s utility in the biology classroom:
-
-
-
Examples
Integrate questions into videos with HapYak or Zaption, as described by Obodo and Baskauf (2015
Follow short videos with interactive questions within an LMS, as done by Keithly and colleagues (2015), or within Google Forms, as done by Caudel and colleagues (2015)

COGNITIVE LOAD
One of the primary considerations when constructing educational materials, including video, is cognitive load. Sensory memory is transient, collecting information from the environment. Information from sensory memory may be selected for temporary storage and processing in working memory, which has very limited capacity .
-
Examples
Key words on screen highlighting important elements Changes in color or contrast to emphasize organization of information .
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
The idea is simple: if students do not watch videos, they cannot learn from them. Lessons on promoting student engagement derive from earlier research on multimedia instruction and more recent work on videos used within MOOCs.
-
Examples
Multiple videos for a lesson, each ≤ 6 minutes.
Placing the student in the lesson by use of “your” rather than “the” during explanations Use of “I” to indicate the narrator’s perspective.
ACTIVE LEARNING
As biology educators, we have abundant evidence That active learning in the classroom provides clear advantages over passive encounters with course material through lecture . Schacter and Szpunar (2015) propose a conceptual framework for enhancing learning from educational videos that identifies online learning as a type of self-regulated learning.
Video has become an important part of higher education. It is integrated as part of traditional courses, serves as a cornerstone of many blended courses, and is often the main information-delivery mechanism in online courses. Several meta-analyses have shown that technology can enhance learning .
