Video-based learning
Video-based learning is the in-thing with my team these days. Though my team had been working on video-driven e-learning modules lately, I do not see them evolve into true video-based learning modules. Most of the modules turned out to be quick and easy job of converting classroom sessions caught on tape into video-PPT combo stuff.
What do I mean by video-based learning?
I'm no HE-man in this subject. However, in my observation, a true video-based learning module should ideally present the subject itself as video and not some trainer taking class on white board. For example, if you were to explain an ethical code of conduct to your learner, show a scenario enacted by a couple of actors and then derive learning through the visual. That's what I call, video-based learning.
Where and When
For convenience sake, let me call video-based learning as VBL. VBL should ideally be used in courses that address Application or Analysis level on Blooms. VBL comes handy while presenting real life scenarios either enacted or shot live. Videos should not become an obsession though. Preferably, videos should be used to present subject that needs observation and reflection from the learner.
Scoring high!
True VBL scores high on the following points:
1. Video presents a live scenario for the learners. Cross-over to the real world.
2. Effective strategy and planning cuts down the time taken to create graphics.
3. Video snippets reduce complexities in creating character-based graphical animations.
4. Videos usually call for low rate of criticism unless run on poor bandwidth or lack clarity.
Watchout! VBL is not a bed of roses. More to come...
