When to use this format? When you want:

  • Your students to learn a certain skill or procedure.
  • To prepare your students for an experiment.
  • To use the strength of video (show don’t tell).
  • To model behaviour through roleplays.

Keep in mind that you:

  • Need to script and prepare your shoot very well, during a procedure every actions needs to be well executed and framed so you see the details.
  • Have all the materials (a few duplicates to be able to repeat) and a location at your disposal.
  • Prepare well, often you can only do the demonstration a limited amount of times
  • Can also ask your students to record a demonstration, in which they portray a specific skill or procedure.

Support
Keep in mind that recording a demonstration usually needs multiple cameras to capture different angles. Contact your video coordinator to find out what the options are at your faculty.
