need to know.“Learning is affected by the way media is used.”

Presented by Debbie O’Connell and Pedro Martinez

Are you Looking at me?

What facilitators need to know:

Grounded discussions do not happen spontaneously, they need to be fostered and stimulated

Communicate a specific issue or criterion to participants and ask them to be specific

Ask for similarities and differences between episodes to generate grounded interactions

General Postings:

Participants express their view about something

Participants express general remarks related to the video

Participants refer to the overall quality in the video

Participants refer to the general characteristics of their own experiences

Video can be utilized to illustrate how something works

Video provides information in detail that text and graphic cannot

Video can grab student’s attention Video can show real life examples Video stimulates discussions Video can appeal to the learning styles of visual

learners Video could enhance problem-based learning

“Cognitive Processing”

Videos can assist the acquisition of content learning, or what has been referred to as “cognitive processing”.

Video based instruction could be used as a means to provide additional support for learners who are otherwise completely reliant on asynchronous delivery.

In situations where a student needs continual feedback to acquire the refinement of a physical task, video is far superior than text or graphics.

Grounded Postings:

Participants refer to specific events in the video

Participants refer to specific events in their own experiences

Participants refer to changes in practice related to the video
