Effective use of video in higher education

# data[].attributes.body
Providing rich interactive multimedia is a key feature of cloud learning at any school. It enables students to access resources that support learning wherever they are; without the need to attend a specific location at a defined time. The use of audio and video also makes it possible to present knowledge in different ways and enables different forms of interaction with learners. Utilizing audio and video to support learning is now more accessible than ever. Audio and video materials can be used to enhance learning resources by showing real life scenarios, explaining concepts, observing social groups, and acting as triggers for discussion. They are also able to bring experts and viewpoints to the student learning experience and are excellent at bringing subjects ‘to life’ to engage discussion and inspire learning.

The Advantages of Using Media:

Many media sources (feature films, music videos, visualizations, news stories) have very high production quality capable of showcasing complex ideas in a short period of time. This helps develop quantitative reasoning. Learn more about this technique using the Teaching Quantitative Reasoning with the News module.

Media offers both cognitive and affective experiences. It can provoke discussion, an assessment of one's values, and an assessment of self if the scenes have strong emotional content.

The use of media sources help connect learners with events that are culturally relevant. As a result, a positive consequence of utilizing media is that instructors must keep their materials and examples up-to-date.

News stories can be used to connect theories taught in the classroom with real world events and policies.

The Advantages of Media for Students:

Popular media (films, music, YouTube) are a familiar medium to students that helps gain attention and maintain student interest in the theories and concepts under discussion. Students can see the theories and concepts in action. In more than a figurative sense, theories and concepts leap from the screen.

Students can hone their analytical skills by analyzing media using the theories and concepts they are studying.

The use of media in the classroom enables students to see concepts and new examples when they are watching television, listening to music, or are at the movies with friends.

Students can experience worlds beyond their own, especially if the media is sharply different from their local environment.

Globerson, 1991). Specifically, to understand the role of media in learning we must ground a theory of media in the cognitive and social processes by which knowledge is constructed, we must define media in ways that are compatible and complementary with these processes, we must conduct research on the mechanisms by which characteristics of media might interact with and influence these processes, and we must design our interventions in ways that embed media in these processes.
