The use of video to deliver content to students online has become increasingly popular. Video has proven to be a highly effective educational format especially for students who learn more with graphics or visuals rather than texts, in addition, videos are more appealing than the written format. Want to include learning materials in a video format? Be it from YouTube, Vimeo or other online video hosting sites, or even a video you created yourself while performing your lecture and others. Videos in addition to your existing teaching materials can definitely make learning more effective.
