I use video on a regular basis with my students and coworkers.  It is an excellent way to explain a variety of concepts--from easy to difficult.  Just  because I may think something is simple, does not mean my students or colleagues feel the same way.  Taking a few minutes to make a Jing or Screencast has helped more students and staff than I can count.

One thing I have found over time is that it's often a good idea to redo even a short video at least once to make it as clear and straightforward as possible.

I use videos on a regular basis with my students, particularly with new students. It is one of the best ways to help students understand how to do basic tasks that are eluding them for some reason that is not readily apparent in our virtual environment. One of the things that I like best about video is that the student can watch the video and hear encouragement in my voice as I explain whatever the topic is. I have received lots of positive feedback on this method.

I like to use videos in many different forms form introductions to review but perhaps the way I use them most is as a review or to enhance the content that is already there. I have found that sometimes a concept may be difficult to "see" is students are merely reading about it. If I include a video often times the "light bulb" will come on.

I think that it can be used in several different areas. I can see it being very beneficial in math to show different ways how to solve problems.

For a year or so, I have been creating videos to help students with difficult concepts. If I encounter an assignment where students are struggling, I like to create a video that explains how to complete the assignment while avoiding common mistakes.

I would use modeling for assignments which are large in scope or trickier to explain. In my course specifically, Humanities, I might use modeling to show strong and weak examples of an artwork analysis form. This could enhance or replace the powerpoint that explains an example of how to fill out this form. I can envision myself using modeling to show how to resize files and properly label photos in the Digital Photography course, as well. Some students struggle to grasp these basic contents to skip the written instructions, so this would be another way to engage them visually.

I like to use a video at the beginning of each class to demonstrate how to check their grades to see what scores they have earned, which assignments are submitted and ready to grade, which assignments they have started but not submitted, and which assignments they have not looked at yet.

Kaltura is a wonderful tool for teachers to use to clarify content and make announcements. It certainly personalizes the content to a greater extent.

When teaching writing, especially the revision process, being able to talk and watch would be very helpful. Students could read a segment with me, watch me revise a portion (better transitions, how to cite properly, what proper elaboration looks like, etc) so that they'll feel more comfortable. I use this in my f2f classroom often...modeling what thinking and writing look like. It could also be used to help a student with a particular assignment. You could do a Screencastomatic and show them their work and what areas they need to work on with audio feedback.

In my f2f class this would also be very helpful.  You can use this in Social Studies by putting short videos that normally the students couldn't see because they were blocked or broken. You could also record yourself creating an example so all students can see.

In my f2f classes I use the Mobi writing tablet connected to my computer and project onto a screen for students to watch as I model the use of various formulas to solve problems dealing with motion; velocity, acceleration and Newton's Laws.

Many of the grammar concepts that students come across in a foreign language class can be difficult to put into action. Although the course content does a great job of explaining the concept and showing examples, many students still struggle with using that idea in their own writing.

I have been wanting to include more videos to help with things like this, so this is a great starting point for me!

I have found that students are more likely to read your feedback if you tell them that it is there.  Since I leave feedback directly under the essays, I leave a comment in the general feedback box that says, "Please see my feedback under the essays."  Students often ask how to get to my feedback, so I made a Kaltura video that steps them through the process.  I have the video posted in the Course Units folder at the very top, so they can't miss it.
