EducationMost forms of learning, distance or otherwise, have some form of content as the basic teaching material. Additionally, good pedagogical practice typically includes instructional strategies that support learner interaction with the content.

-Kanuka, H. (2011)

Video UseAccording to Surprise and Mitchell (1994), videos can be effective if used properly. The authors suggested that using videos to introduce material, to help learners visualize the key points of a concept, to relate them to other concepts, and to help students see real world applications of ideas explored in the classroom (p.533) was most effective.- Surprise & Mitchell (1994)

Video PostingsFor video lectures to be most effectively used by students, they should appeal to students learning style preferences.

- Brecht, H. & Ogilby, S. (2008)
