Giving Students New Eyes

Abstract

An extensive literature in management education addresses the pedagogical technique of showing video clips from feature films, animated films, and television shows. The bulk of this literature either asserts the benefits of using video clips or identifies specific clips and discusses how those clips can be effectively used to teach various management and organizational behavior topics. The assumption in all of this work is that the instructor will locate the video clips to be used. The authors present an alternative approach that has students locate video clips in groups, and discuss the numerous advantages of this approach for both instructors and students. In addition to describing the general approach, the authors elaborate on a number of possible variations and reflect on the lessons learned from implementing this approach in two independent courses at two different universities.

Getting Psyched About Memes in the Psychology Classroom

“…There is educational value in having psychology students find or create their own class-related content. For example, rather than just passively watching instructor-chosen videos, students can actively co-create learning experiences with each other and the instructor by finding and sharing relevant content (Schmidt, 2016; Tyler et al, 2009). Such experiences create a learning environment in which students are actively involved in determining how class concepts connect to real-world content (Schmidt, 2016).…”

Allow Me to Explain: A Project Designed to Teach Management Students to Evaluate and Create Explainer Videos

“…Video clips have been used for supplemental instruction for decades. Previous research indicates that showing films or television clips increases students’ interest and enjoyment in the classroom (Krämer & Böhrs, 2017; Tyler et al, 2009). Explainer videos are relatively new to social media.…”

Framework for Developing and Assessing Business Education Wikis

“…Multimedia can also be used to "encourage student participation in learning tasks and that appeal to multiple intelligences and learning styles" (Schrand, 2008, p. 80). Technologyassisted presentations (such as PowerPoint) and video (such as YouTube clips) are widely recognized as effective pedagogical techniques in management education (Tyler, Anderson, & Tyler, 2009). While presentations of this type provide an opportunity to easily create and integrate media-rich elements (such as audio and video), a deeper understanding of instructional design principles that also incorporate learning theories is needed to develop pedagogically sound materials that address different learning styles of an audience, and to effectively meet learner goals and outcomes.…”
