Uses in the Classroom: Instructional videos can be very helpful in the classroom. One very useful area is to create a video library where students can go if they need help with a task that they've been assigned. The teacher can create instructional videos to help the students refresh their memories to stay on task and complete their assignments.
Another use for instruction videos is provide students with learning disabilities another venue to learn the subject material. They may not be able to keep up with the class if material is only presented in the standard lecture format. But videos that they can view at their own pace can help keep them on track.
Issues to Consider: Videos can also be a source of distraction for some students. In the example of the scenario provided above where a teacher creates a video library for the students to use when they are stuck on a project can end up being a means for a student to abuse and play with to keep from working on an assignment.
Instructional videos are very good at helping students who are visual/auditory learners. If your class has very few of these types of students these videos are most likely going to of very little help to the majority of the class.
