‘IPVLec’: Interactive and Planned Video Lecturing to Facilitate Active Learning

In
the book ‘Preparing to Teach’, Gibbs and Habeshaw (1992) proposed to make a ‘lecture
video’ as a quick-tip for lecturing, as follows;
“Ask
your video support services to record your lecture. … Prepare handouts where
students need to see diagrams or other visual detail. In class, show the video …
ask questions or discuss points as they wish. … You can also use the recording
later to evaluate your own performance.” (p. 47)
Starting
from the above quote and associated literature, ‘Interactive and Planned Video
Lecturing’ (IPVLec) is a system of facilitating active learning that was developed
in a ‘Learning Agreement’ implemented at the ‘Certificate in Teaching in Higher
Education’ (CTHE)[1]
course. Most supportive videos downloaded from the internet are done in foreign
countries and it is sometimes hard to recognize the words due to narrators’
accent or some parts are not matching with my lecture flow. But here in my
‘IPVLec’ students hear their lecturer’s voice which is familiar to them.
Lecture flow is predetermined and everything is relevant and arranged properly.
This study on
interactive and planned video lectures was carried out as an ‘action research’.
The hypothesis was that students will be motivated by watching an in-house
video and will actively engage with the lecture thus improving their memory
retention. In addition the lecturer is able to manage time better.

are designed to practice the theories of teaching-learning-assessments while
