A. Introductory activities: to engage, stimulate and motivate students.

B. Activity based clips: directly related to an explicit learning activity which the teacher will recognize and wish to use.

C. Affective domain clips: encourage or facilitate empathy and emotional engagement on the part of the viewer.

D. Conceptual enablers: enable the teacher to focus learning activities around cognitive ideas such as analysis, synthesis, extrapolation, interpretation.

E. Visual and spatial clips: provide clear visual images, imagery and representations.

A. Introductory activities

1. Hook/stimulus’ clips(clips that might grab attention/aid to stimulation) – any of the following features:

Shock/surprise/delight

Creating a sense of suspense/uncertainty

Posing a problem or issue to be resolved (but without the resolution at this stage)

2. Signpost videos (Koumi)

As an introduction to the topic/or as a plenary

To provides a focus: i.e. what to look for in the rest of the video or topic (this could be in commentary of with visual clips)

To providing a rationale for a topic – e.g. why are we studying this?

To flag up what is coming later (‘distant signposts’ – Koumi)

B. Activity based clips

with rich visual or audio content that learners could be asked to identify, spot

that facilitate close observation skills (e.g. spot this)

that show other times and/or cultures

Using media to support learning from pre-school through to University

C. Affective domain clips

Sensitise and emotionalise:

signal a change of mood, tempo or topic

highly emotional, charged clips (with a rationale)

stunning, wow factor clips (incredible landscapes or wildlife depictions)

D. Conceptual enablers

Predicting clips: they can be stopped at a point where student is asked to

predict what happens next.

Compare and contrast (similarity and difference)

Extrapolate and predict (encourage learners to consider what would happen if this was to be extended into the future )

Interpretation (require the learner to explain what is happening)

Using media to support learning from pre-school through to University

E. Visual and spatial clips

Special geographic significance

e.g. specific places, sites, events, festivals

The world around us

Natural history, Our Planet

Clips with a strong visual representation

works of art, maps, objects

Instructional (how to do things),

cook, sports technique, use software, learn a language

Clips illustrating dynamic phenomena

Designing Learning Environments

INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF EDUCATION,

INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Unesco (2002)

Using media to support learning from pre-school through to University

It is a challenge for teachers to create interesting and challenging learning environments that encourage the active involvement of students.

Learning is primarily a social activity and participation in the social life of the school is central for learning to occur.

People learn best when they participate in activities that are perceived to be useful in real life and are culturally relevant.
