There are several factors that affect student engagement in online instructional videos.
- Shorter videos are more engaging (4-6 minutes)
- Video engagement is important - speak directly to your students in your presentation
- Use your voice to bring excitement, interest, and understanding of the content
- Be concise - use a script to guide your presentation - reduces cognitive load for learning
- Show yourself periodically in the video speaking to your students (supports engagement)
- Utilize screen capture or writing content (facilitating the learning)
- Recorded classroom lectures (30 mins - 1 hour) should be chunked (broken up into several videos) for clarity and engagement
- Don't use video to lecture to your student; utilize tutorials or case studies to engage them on the content
- Utilize other content (videos, text, audio, simulation, case studies) in support of your video for clarity and understanding
- Record a Multi-Source Presentation
- Click on the Screen drop downs to select your recording sources (full screen, select areas, web-camera, etc.)
Select the number of screen sources you intend to use (up to two) - one should be the screen displaying your presentation, a second source could be a web-camera or another screen source
