Steps to Create a Video-Based Education Course<\/b><\/h2>\nStep-1: Identify the Learning Goals<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n
Identification of the learning goals is the first step for creating a video-based course or lesson. Educators must first determine what the learners wish to achieve through a lesson\/course. This helps identify the appropriate teaching methodology that aligns with the teaching and learning goals.<\/span><\/p>\n Educators can also consult a subject-matter expert or a graphic designer for professional advice on creating a video-based course<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To use the video-based education method, educators must be familiar with different authoring tools and their use. These authoring tools assist in creating digital content for various purposes. They also allow educators to develop various forms of digital content with ease. This digital content covers everything from a simple MS Word document to video lessons on complex STEM concepts. Thus, choosing the correct authoring tool that enables video editing along with screen recording becomes essential.<\/span><\/p>\n Several authoring tools on the Internet offer these features for free or with a minimum fee to access certain features. For instance, <\/span>Camtasia Recorder<\/span><\/i> allows educators to create different types of videos with pre-built templates. It also provides video recording and editing. <\/span>Khan Academy<\/i><\/b><\/a> uses Camtasia Recorder to create and edit educational videos.<\/span><\/p>\n Other options include <\/span>SmoothDraw3, Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, Lectora,<\/span><\/i> and so on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An average learner\u2019s attention span is about 8 seconds, which is a short period. Expecting young learners to sit for a 90-minute video lesson is out of the question. Also, learners find it difficult to follow a large set of instructions in one go. A well-organized class with crisp and meaningful chunks of information works better to engage learners.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, learners prefer several small videos instead of a single long video. Some platforms that offer video-based learning include <\/span>Khan Academy<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Lynda<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Udemy<\/i><\/b>,<\/span> Coursera<\/i><\/b><\/a>,<\/span> TED-Ed<\/i><\/b><\/a>, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n Presentation is the key to engaging learners. It provides better learning outcomes as learners immerse themselves in the learning process. Educators often use digital means to supplement in-class learning. However, presentations are not sufficient for video-based education because the supplementary material contains more textual information, which the teacher explains. However, in video-based education, educators do not involve themselves directly in the class. The entire process of learning takes place through on-screen videos. Thus, it becomes difficult to capture learner attention with text-only slides. Therefore, educators must include more visuals and other interactive elements like quizzes and puzzles instead of text.<\/span><\/p>\n For instance, a science lesson on <\/span>Resonance Structures of Benzene <\/span><\/i>containing visuals that include chemical compound structure is easier to understand than just plain text. Text-only information on such complex topics can confuse the learners. Also, learners are likely to be uninterested in learning such complicated concepts through text. As a result, video-based courses also affect learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, a typical learners\u2019 attention span is small. This signifies that they cannot sit and watch educational videos for long. Consequently, it is crucial to stick to the time limit while creating video-based lessons. Educators can use different strategies like <\/span>micro-learning<\/i><\/b><\/a> and <\/span>gamification<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>to improve learner engagement. Additionally, eLearning localization is an excellent strategy to cater to the learning needs of diverse learners.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, several small videos with digestible chunks of information are better than longer ones. <\/span>Khan Academy<\/i><\/b> presents the most significant example of this form of learning. They offer lessons in the form of short videos with relevant information about the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n Recording a lesson is an essential part of creating a video-based course. Various tools available on the Internet allow educators to perform different functions of video-based education. These functions range from recording and screencasting<\/a> to video editing.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, including interactions in the form of references, assessments, and feedback is essential. Such forms of interaction help create a link between learners and the concepts they are learning. It eventually renders better learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n The final step is to follow up with learners about what they have learned. This step includes tracking the results based on their performance in the assessment tests. Also, follow-up helps educators decide whether the teaching methodology applied is fruitful or not. Moreover, it provides a clear picture of the learner\u2019s performance throughout the course.<\/span><\/p>\n The steps and guidelines mentioned for creating video-based education courses can help educators establish useful video-based lessons\/courses. Above all, a crucial step to follow is to be genuine while delivering the lesson. The impact of the educator\u2019s personality leaves a significant mark on learners and their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, educators must know the essentials of delivering an e-lesson before they work with video-based education. This can help provide the initial experience required to teach a lesson\/course effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n Reference Websites: <\/span>Edutopia<\/i><\/b><\/a> and <\/span>ELearning Industry<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Images: <\/span>Shutterstock<\/i><\/b> <\/a>and <\/span>Freepik\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Video-based learning is acquiring an understanding of a concept by the means of a video lesson accessible through electronic media.
