Documentation:Annotated Presentations/Uses and Benefits

Why do this?

Annotated presentations are just one way of many to create video which supports learning. Some uses for annotated presentations in learning include:

screen Tutorials. Tutorials for students to study from.

screen Highlight on concepts. Highlighting or drawing attention to concepts or components that are important for students to pay attention to.

screen Storytelling Telling a story using images and annotations as a guide.

screen Human element. Provide an instructor presence in an online environment by including a human element in instructional material.

To see a sample of faculty-created annotated presentations at UBC, take a look at Dr. Rosie Redfield or Dr. Luis Linares' YouTube channels.

Benefits of video for learning

"For a novice learner, I have found that concise expository summaries do very little to improve learning - a key for me is to start with misconceptions and show how misconceptions can morph into a complete scientific truth."

Derek Muller of Veritasium, in an interview with Nottingham Science on YouTube.

"Students can develop a deep understanding of a science concept by bringing together different ways of making meaning: researching content, storyboarding, making models, using narration, labelling key aspects, etc."
