Developing Educational Videos

Abstract

The teach less, learn more (TLLM) movement has prompted the need for teaching and learning innovations that fall under this framework. Educational videos have always been used as teaching tools. However, educational videos can also be used based on the ‘constructionism' approach in which learners develop the videos. This form of teaching and learning innovation provides a variety of learnings and skills such as active and collaborative learning, including creative thinking and problem-solving skills, which are lifelong to the learners, compared to the passive learning in the teacher-centered approach. This chapter will begin with a discussion of the trends in learner-centred teaching, which falls under the TLLM framework. This is followed by a detailed exploration on the use of a constructivist approach for the development of educational videos under the assignment component in a science-based module. The chapter will then conclude with the outcome of the teaching and learning innovation for the learners, including its significance on learning.
