However, when developing educational presentations and videos there are some straightforward principles that you can apply which are likely to make them more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following videos were created for our course, Creating Effective Educational Videos, and will take you through the dos and dont&#8217;s of educational video-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How not to do it!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This short video offers a humorous take on how not to make great educational videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Prof. Oliver Deer discusses his approach to making educational videos:<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cKXx9GkeGGQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> https:\/\/youtu.be\/cKXx9GkeGGQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Understanding Mayer&#8217;s multimedia principles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This 20 minute video outlines <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psych.ucsb.edu\/people\/faculty\/mayer\" target=\"_blank\">Richard Mayer<\/a>&#8216;s principles of multimedia learning and provides practical examples of how these principles might be applied in practice to create more effective educational videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A Practical Guide to Mayer&#8217;s Multimedia Principles: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/m0GMZgaC7gM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/m0GMZgaC7gM<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Applying Mayer&#8217;s mutimedia principles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because much of Mayer\u2019s work centres around STEM subjects (which typically make a lot of use of diagrams, charts, tables, equations, etc.) We spent some time thinking about how to apply his principles in subjects which are more text based. To this end, we recorded a 12 minute video lecture which is very on-screen text heavy in which we tried to make use of as many of Mayer\u2019s principles as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are we ever justified in silencing those with whom we disagree? <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Dyu94dH2aeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Dyu94dH2aeo<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Understanding what students want, and don&#8217;t want, from an educational video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the current popularity of educational videos, and given the time, effort and expense academics and institutions are investing to provide educational videos to students, we thought that it was worthwhile to evaluate whether students actually want and use these resources. You can find the results of our investigation in our paper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rice, P. and Farmer, R.
