Teaching with Instructional Video

By Richard E. Mayer

Given the widespread usage of instructional video in both formal and informal education and training, there is a need to ensure what people are viewing can actually help them to learn. To address this gap, Teaching with Instructional Video takes an evidence-based approach that examines techniques which have been shown to improve learning from instructional videos. Featuring rich research evidence gleaned from rigorous scientific experiments alongside key theoretical contributions for cognitive and educational science, Richard E. Mayer develops practice-inspired methods to design effective instructional videos that enhance student learning. Written for educators and instructional designers as well as students and researchers across cognitive science, media communication, and educational theory, this book marks the latest example of the advances we are making in applying the science of learning to education.
