Video and audio can be efficient tools in teaching, but make sure that the media content is used intentional.

The content must control the dissemination

The main focus should be how to communicate the academic content to the students. Then you consider which medium that can communicate it best - whether it is text, pictures, audio or video.

Video and audio files must be included in a context

The media content should be planned and viewed in the context of the other learning activities. Whether the video or audio files appear alone, or whether they are part of a larger course - should influence how the media content is designed.
