Creation of Educational Video Tutorials and Their Use in Education

Abstract

Abstract Educational video tutorials are currently modern teaching resources. They are primarily used as a guide when working with various software applications. The tutorials can be produced in high definition, including narration and subtitles. However, creating such a video tutorial is not easy. Students at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies are learning to create these video tutorials. The basis of a tutorial is the creation of a script. The next step is a high quality screen capture, sound recording and subtitle creation. The tutorial can be accompanied by several different audio tracks and subtitles in different languages. Such video tutorial can be then used by foreign students or hearing-impaired students. The tutorial is then exported into a modern format that ensures high image quality and can be played on most devices for video playback. At the Department of Information and Communication Technologies the tutorials are being created mainly for Informatics courses where students work in different and often special software applications.
