Seven videos on the effective use of video by Tony Bates

This series of seven videos by Dr. Tony Bates and Michael O’Donoghue illustrate the underused potential of video in higher education teaching. Drawing on years of research, Bates highlights the specific educational advantages of video, such as illustrating complex concepts, conveying dynamic processes, and providing emotional impact—benefits that are often challenging to achieve in traditional classroom settings. The series covers both general advantages and specific uses of video across disciplines, from anatomy and nursing to mathematics, with interviews from educators who have innovatively applied video in their teaching. It also offers practical guidance for creating effective, engaging educational videos, aiming to support instructors in making better use of video as a teaching tool.
