Lecture videos are more and more implemented in higher education to be used widely by students providing an audio and visual stimulus. To attract students and become a fully accepted learning material these videos need to be of a certain standard. An important factor to the success of these videos is to involve students directly into the concept and making-of (peer-to-peer approach). The peer-to-peer approach is an important aspect in terms of project success, quality of the content and lecture video quality because students` needs and their perspective on teaching material are directly included in the videos. To encourage lecturers this paper provides a short guidance to look at basic needs and requirements of the lecture film production and “just get started”. Good lecture videos may successfully be produced with low threshold.
Recently films have been implemented in higher education as additional audio and visual stimulus. Students like to work with lecture films which cover different learning methodologies. If videos are analogous to the desired learning outcomes of the lecture they are considered a reinforcement, rather than a replacement for lectures. However, filming a lecture and providing this as a video lecture is not meant by a lecture video that covers science on short sequences. To interest students` and become a seriously accepted learning material lecture films need to be of a certain standard. Videos on material science are successfully embedded in "inverted classroom" teaching scenarios for mechanical and automotive engineering students at HTW Berlin in their first year. Initially encouraged by students a set of lecture videos is produced during a one term semester project each semester by 3 rd year students (peer-to-peer approach). The "making-of" is attended carefully by lecturers and film experts. But, the peer-to-peer approach is very important only then students` needs, learning approach and individual perspective on teaching material is first hand included in the videos. Because we find lecturers very interested in our approach and at the same time certain aspects have to be taken into account to successfully prepare peer-to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
