Using video: from passive viewing to active learning. Emily Moore has written this great introduction in the Faculty Focus: online magazine: “From Passive Viewing to Active Learning: Simple Techniques for Applying Active Learning Strategies to Online Course Videos”. Please read the original as it covers more in depth use of video, but my highlights of the piece are below. Video as a guided lesson (flipping the classroom?) : “The goal here is to help ensure that students watch videos actively—in other words, giving it their full attention. You also want to help draw students’ attention to (and reinforce) the most important concepts being presented.”
Pose a question at the beginning of each video to give students an idea before they watch of what to expect, what to look for, and what might be worth thinking about.Present videos in an outline-like structure using concise, descriptively labeled links that include running times as shown below.Embed short graded or self-assessments either in the video itself, or at the end of each video.

Significance of lecturing, flipping the classroom. Should we flip the classroom? Yes, based on the post by Kyle Webb. Would this be the basis and pedagogy of the super MOOCs, where the classroom is flipped? I have once shared that it MAY NOT BE THE SOLUTION. Is lecturing still an effective method in education? How is lecturing perceived, especially when incorporated in MOOC? The first reason I’m not worried is because I haven’t actually seen much research indicating that lectures are especially ineffective for learning. How about the critics?
But what Bateson is really known for is making clear that there is a fundamental leap from “learning 1″ to “learning 2,” or what is commonly referred to as learning-to-learn or meta-cognition. My experience with MOOC is: yes, you could learn all these learning-to learn, or meta-cognition, and ultimately transformational learning, but not with the traditional lecture type, and not even the short videos of 5-10 minutes. Lecturing could be a useful teaching tool. Like this: Like Loading... Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education. Flipping Corporate Learning. Flipping learning is big in education. It will be big in corporate learning. Let’s not blow it. How do you flip learning? Khan Academy is the poster child for flipped learning. Sal Khan has produced more than 3,000 short videos on a variety of topics. Flipping makes a ton a sense. More important for learning outcomes, the time spent in class can be put to more productive use.
Flipping Stanford In a Science Times essay, “Death Knell for the Lecture: Technology as a Passport to Personalized Education,” Daphne Koller described how Stanford University has flipped traditional courses: At Stanford, we recently placed three computer science courses online, using a similar format. An article in Wired, The Stanford Educational Experiment Could Change Higher Learning Forever, describes the wildly popular course on artificial intelligence taught by Stanford professors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig: I fear that flipping learning in corporations may meet the same nasty fate as eLearning.
