Too short, too long, not Australian, selling something!

Yep - It can be a struggle to use video effectively in class with students. You might choose the wrong video, end up with something less-than-optimal, or just be unsure how you might link the video you did find, to specific learning objectives. 

Trouble is, video is such an effective teaching and sharing tool, it would be a shame to not use it as part of your training. And besides, most learners are probably well-versed and very comfortable with video as part of their daily life!

In this session, we'll uncover the five reasons to support whether we should use video or not as a tool for learning, and look at effectively using video in class for a variety of purposeful reasons including, how to scaffold and include learners.

We'll unpack how to evaluate different videos to determine whether it will meet the criteria for intended use, and importantly, how to embed 'watching a video' into the learning process rather than leaving it as a standalone activity. PLUS, we'll see how easy it is to use various AI tools to create custom clips for your students.

This webinar will assist you to:

• Understand what makes a good video for educational purposes
• Develop tools and activities that embed the video in the learning rather than the video being a standalone activity
• Know how about options to create video content when you can’t find what you need (phones and AI tools)

Key points covered will include:

• Pros and cons of video over other forms of learning
• Characteristics of useful video 
• Using video functions - captions, sections, links, embed codes, etc.
• Ideas for linking video content back to learning
• Using video aids to keep students engaged - questions, discussions, problem solving etc.
