4. 4 Videotaped-Based Instruction

5. Videotaped-Based Instruction Refers to the use of videotaping equipment to produce staged or real-time learning opportunities. Videotapes are mailed to the participants and are viewed on a TV/VCR at his/her convenience. Videotaped-based instruction supports asynchronous communication between the presenter and the participants.

6. Telephone, regular mail, fax, e-mail, and voice mail may be used in conjunction with videotaped-based instruction.

7. Factors to Consider Advantages Adapts to varied content areas Provides convenience of use Offers flexibility: portions of lectures or discussions may be replayed as needed TV/VCR accessibility by most people in their homes

8. Advantages(Continued) Provides an inexpensive option (videotapes are inexpensive) Captures attention and conveys a lot of information quickly Easily duplicated

9. Disadvantages Provides no real-time interaction between presenter and participants Promotes passive action on the part of participant Limits cooperative learning between groups of participants Videotapes wear quickly with continual use Videotapes can be costly to send via regular mail

10. Disadvantages (Continued) Requires time to produce, as well as costly to revise and update Participants may tend to feel isolated from others participating in the program unless provisions are made for them to interact with other participants Recording may be complex

11. Instructional Strategies for Incorporating Videotaped-Based Instruction

12. Instructional Strategies Below is a listing of instructional strategies that may be supported by videotaped-based instruction. Discussion Lecture Role-playing

13. Instructional Strategies (Continued) Presentation slides Audio/visual materials Demonstrations Guest speaker Self-directed learning Self-instructional modules

14. Instructional Strategies (Continued) Facilitator demonstrations Problem scenarios Panel discussion Videotaped field observations Case problems Tutorial assistance

15. Technical Requirements Requires participant to have access to a TV/VCR.

17. Acknowledgement Sincere gratitude is expressed to Sabina Promesse, graduate assistant, Alabama A&M University, for assisting with information retrieval for this presentation.
