Integrating Video Lecture Tools in Online and Hybrid Classrooms

Integration Of Video Software Into Hybrid And Online Courses

Using synchronous and asynchronous software platforms in both hybrid and completely online courses can be challenging. It is advisable to avoid simply putting a face-to-face course online because the learning activities won’t be appropriate (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, & Zvacek, 2009). By using Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) and determining the content type required by the learning objectives (Clark, 1999), it is possible to determine which format would be better suited for the delivery of selected content. Consequently, components of course design related to choosing video technology formats will be discussed in this section, using case examples. By taking advantage of the strengths of both environments, students become more engaged in their learning, resulting in better learning outcomes.
