How to create Educational Videos: From watching passively to learning actively

.
Open Online Journal for Research and Education, (September 2018)

Abstract

This paper describes the design principles that have to be in mind, if videos for educational purposes are produced. Additionally, didactical interactions are presented that allow every teacher in school and higher education the transformation of existing videos into educational videos. The theoretical basis for the design principles are Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) and research on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC’s). Didactical interactions, like students’ control, guiding questions, action-oriented tasks and the possibility of social exchange are based on the principle of active learning and can be put into practice with the user-friendly and open source web tool H5P. Video in education should always be part of a well thought didactical concept and/or used in the context of media and method diversity.
