Principles of creating and designing video content for asynchronous learning

Abstract

A key stage of professional training is to prepare them for the use of ICTs and modern innovative solutions that would not only improve the quality of presentation of educational content, but also minimise the time spent on learning new material and repeating material that has already been covered. Therefore, a relevant aspect of preparing teachers and future professionals in general for self-presentation or presentation of their own projects should be preparation for the use of video editors and online platforms to create short videos that both students and teachers can use to save time during teaching or to support projects that are offered to a wide audience. For this reason, in our review, we focus on the theoretical aspects of introducing video content into the educational process; high-quality video editing software that students and teachers can use from any device; analyse the quality of the projects prepared by students; review teaching approaches for asynchronous learning. But, with the main objective of our research being to argue for the principles of creating and designing video content for asynchronous learning. We present not only the above results of our review and practical implementation of the relevant project activities, but also the theoretical aspects of the issue necessary for teachers' understanding and personal improvement. This complex approach allows us to develop the simplest and most flexible algorithm for working with video content, depending on the needs of the teacher, their psychological characteristics and technical skills, as well as the purpose of the subject being taught. After all, for some subjects and the teachers who teach them, the thesis "why should we reinvent the wheel" will be appropriate. While for the other part, this process will always be a personal challenge, an innovation and a requirement of modern education. That is why, in our opinion, the proposed flexible algorithm will be useful for both future teachers and professionals who already have teaching experience.
