Enhancing Instruction with Visual Media: Utilizing Video and Lecture Capture

In higher education, many of us scramble to leverage technology effectively—even videos. Video media can transform lectures into reviewable documents. The prevalence of video-recording devices can motivate student self-expression and facilitate reflection, and the portability of video media can help students interpret their learning as extending beyond the confines of the classroom. Haunted by educational videos of the 1980’s, however, many of us experience an unwarranted fear of remodeling our offices or classrooms into personal production studios. Others suffer at the thought of asking students to generate their own videos with tools we do not use ourselves. Enhancing Instruction with Visual Media offers its readers user-friendly insights into the why, what, and how of educational video media. Its authors address student motivations and learning, technological options, and pedagogical applications. The scope and depth of this collection provide researchers, instructional technologists, and professors with executable knowledge for transforming both on-ground and online courses into interactive environments, suitable for digital immigrants and natives alike.
