Why My MOOC is Not Built on Video - MOOC Report

Why My MOOC is Not Built on Video - MOOC Report | MOOCs, SPOCs and next generation Open Access Learning | Scoop.it
Why didn’t we have more video? The short answer is budget and time: making good-quality videos is expensive & making simple yet effective educational videos is time consuming, if not necessarily costly. #NumericalMOOC was created on-the-fly, with little budget. But here’s my point: expensive, high-production-value videos are not necessary to achieve a quality learning experience.

The fixation with videos in MOOCs, online courses and blended learning is worrisome.

Instructional design is the most important thing but audiovisual resources can also be produced with quality and low cost using narrated presentations and other easy similar techniques

Question: How does video production affect student engagement in MOOCs?

 

How we went about it: We measured engagement by how long students watched each video and also whether they attempted to answer post-video assessment problems.

Preparing the course is labour intensive. It involves recording video lectures in a MOOC Studio as well as defining assignments and evaluations. The preparation time is of course smaller if you start from a well prepared course that you have been teaching for an extended time and for which you have pedagogical ressources readily available.

Research: How Video Production Affects Student Engagement

edX recently commissioned a study of nearly 1,000 videos, segmenting them out by by video type and production style, and discovered this among their other findings:

Shorter videos are more engaging. Engagement drops after 6 minutes.Videos with a more personal feeling are more effective than high-fidelity studio recordings.
Videos in which the instructor speaks quickly and with high enthusiasm are more engaging.Khan-style tablet drawings are more engaging than power point slides.

An interesting study from the EdX people on using videos in an online course.
