In recent years, MOOCs have become an increasingly popular option for continued, advanced learning at zero cost, allowing students, lifelong learners and professionals to acquire new skills and improve their knowledge and employability. Critics warn that there is a need to examine these new approaches through a critical lens to ensure they are effective and evolve beyond traditional lecture-style pedagogies. In this one-hour webinar we talked about the use of videos in MOOCs, discussing their format, value and advantages/disadvantages with Deborah Arnold (University of Burgundy) and Annemarie Zand Scholten (University of Amsterdam). Will MOOC videos replace lectures? How important is the design of video in a MOOC and what are its characteristics?

M&L webinar: Exploring different video formats in MOOCs
- 1. Exploring different video formats in MOOCs Deborah Arnold Department Manager, AIDE-numérique Centre for Information Systems and Digital Practice Université de Bourgogne @DebJArnold
- 2. AIDE-numérique department Missions Online learning (distance, blended…) Digital pedagogy (staff development) Online resources (production) History of audiovisual production 1990s : research films / documentaries 2000s : multimedia 2010s : webdocumentaries 2014 : our first MOOCs Quality / efficiency Production values / reputation
- 3. Designing & producing videos for MOOCs 1. Benchmarking what are others doing? what works, what doesn’t? what does the (scarce) literature say? 2. Pedagogical context Who is our target audience? what are the learning objectives? what is the main message? 3. Resources What is our budget? What human resources are available? What is our timescale?
- 4. YouTube genres for teaching and learning (Donald Clark)http://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/youtube-another-moop- massive-open.html Khan blackboard and coloured chalk – simple but effective, learner’s mind not cluttered with seeing Khan – it’s the semantic content that matters, not talking heads. Thrun’s hand and whiteboard – again not Thrun’s head that matters but seeing worked problems and solutions. RSA animations – clever animations that end up as a single infographic. TED talks – shows how lectures should be – passionate experts, no notes, no reading, little PowerPoint and short. Software demos – just show me the steps one by one. Physical demos – point the camera at the engine, radiator or whatever I need to fix and show me how to do it, with commentary. I just take my tablet to the place I need it. Sports coaching – wayward tennis serve? Watch an expert coach you in slow motion.
- 5. Donald Clark (again) on HCI MOOC video http://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/mooc-on-human-computer-interaction-7.html Small screen, low retention Too much talking head Cognitive dissonance (text and video at the same time – the death of rich media?) Paucity of images (describing schemas, techniques or procedures without images) Presentation style (important for maintaining attention) Poor editing (negative effect on retention)

- 7. How MOOCVideo ProductionAffects Student Engagement https://www.edx.org/blog/how-mooc-video-production-affects#.VBMapU0cSu0 1. Shorter videos are much more engaging. Engagement drops sharply after 6 minutes. 2. Videos that intersperse an instructor’s talking head with PowerPoint slides are more engaging than showing only slides. 3. Videos produced with a more personal feel could be more engaging than high-fidelity studio recordings. 4. Khan-style tablet drawing tutorials are more engaging than PowerPoint slides or code screencasts. 5. Even high-quality prerecorded classroom lectures are not as engaging when chopped up into short segments for a MOOC. 6. Videos where instructors speak fairly fast and with high enthusiasm are more engaging. 7. Students engage differently with lecture and tutorial videos.
