A long history of the use of video in education
(Sneldon and Perkins, 2009, Cubin, 1984)
“The effectiveness of films depends on how well their content is related to a specific instructional objective. There is nothing in a motion picture presentation, per se, that guarantees better learning” (Hoban and Van Ormer 1951)
