Taxonomy of Instructional Video Types
Step-by-step training • Steps involved in a complex or detailed process
See the un-seeable or difficult to replicate processes • Under the microscope, dissections, electrical processes
Foundational knowledge (to support flipped classroom)• Core knowledge for application and usage in class
Prompt discussion • News clips, debates, and world events
Enhancing teaching presence (particularly for fully online courses)
• Weekly check-ins, introductions
How do we identify quality in instructional video?
Quality indicators as reported by students
Sadik, A. (2015). Students’ preferences for types of video lectures: Lecture capture vs. screencasting recordings. International Journal of E-Learning & Distance Education, 30(2). Retrieved from http://www.ijede.ca/index.php/jde/article/view/941/1590
• Accessibility - Video allows the viewer to focus on areas of the screen that are relevant to the instruction at hand.
• Viewability - Production quality (audio, video, text) is sufficient to make content tolerably watchable. • Timing - Video is paced to make it easy for viewers to follow content.
Physical design
• Accuracy - Content presented without errors of fact or execution. • Completeness - Content presented in an organizing superstructure and with sufficient detail so as to
be accurately reproduced and broadly applied. • Pertinence - Content related to the instructional goal, and it had an instructional purpose.
Cognitive design
• Confidence - Narrator inspires confidence by presenting self as knowledgeable and skilled. Narrator may also inspire confidence by association with a reputable organization.
• Self-Efficacy - Video persuades viewers that they can successfully complete the tasks that are the focus of instruction.
• Engagement - Video is designed to interest and motivate users.
Affective design

Using video as a part of a teaching and learning strategyLearning outcomes• Start with the articulation of learning outcomes • What will my students be able to do after watching this video?
Teaching and learning strategy• How will the use of video enhance learning?
• Is the purpose of the video to introduce new concepts or support a class activity?
Assessment and evaluation methods • How will you know your video is effective?
• What activities or assessments can I map into the lesson in order to measure the outcome?

Current state of affairs • VIUTube (Kaltura) solved the video distribution challenge
• Ad free, private sharing, locally hosted • Problem of how to create quality and meaningful educational
video remains• Various toolsets emerging
• Video editing – iMovie, MovieMaker, Adobe Premier • Screencasting - Camtasia , Jing • Lecture capture - Video camera / Mobile phone, Swivl • Whiteboard style animations – Videoscribe • Tablet screencasting – EduCreations, Screenchomp, Adobe Voice• …and now the VIU Lightboard!

How best could we use the Lightboard?
Some lessons learned • We are asking faculty to come with a plan, considering how the use of
the Lightboard aligns with their learning outcomes and how this will be assessed
• Videos should be planned to cover small chunks of content, clearly delineated problems, or calculations
• Don’t plan on cleaning the board during a video• Dress appropriately! • Avoid standing directly behind text and content written on the board
