Learning Videos for Individualized Education

[...] Computers in Human Behavior (2018) - To what extent does reflection on the construction of learning videos facilitate them? Article link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/computers-in-human-behavior/vol/87 For several years, new learning and self-formation methods have been developing: digital distance learning. This refers to the entire set of digital tools created and implemented for learners who want to follow a distance training session. Due to the significant development of this type of learning, studies have emerged to highlight the conditions that favor student learning, and the limits, weaknesses of this type of support. [...]

[...] Depending on the individual, it is then possible to divide a lesson according to their personal, cognitive abilities and their personal, family, and social obligations. Mayer also refers to a reduction in cognitive load.1 : The task itself is lightened as it is shorter (intrinsic load), the extrinsic load is reduced by the learning format (video) . Thinking about learning videos in terms of fragmentation will then allow students to process the different information they are given more easily, thus facilitating the integration of the different data that can be studied at each person's pace.

[...] Favorable learning conditions Finally, learning by video has another peculiarity: Mayer explains that being faced with a screen, without a human and all its facial expressions, will favor global attention3 and avoid the student being distracted by unnecessary things (teacher's face?). As a result, student performance will only be better if the learning video format takes into account the nature of the learning material itself. Conclusion Thus, reflecting on learning videos is a sine qua non condition to allow learning procedural techniques according to each person's skills and methods. However, let us not forget that to develop technical skills, field experience is indispensable, which is not necessarily allowed with remote videos. [...]

[...] Deeper and more favorable learning conditions A. Deeper and more developed learning The reflection on the creation of learning videos will also allow for the presentation of different points of view of the taught notions, which is not necessarily possible during face-to-face training. In fact, certain plans allowed by the cameras will be more suitable for understanding a concept (for example, views of the inside of the human body). It has been shown that video training is effective, particularly because it allows students to go further than a simple theoretical teaching that can be provided in an amphitheater. [...]
