Video Creation as a Catalyst of Value Change in Engineering Education

Today educational videos have become a significant element in enhancing teaching and learning. They represent an important learning value to promote knowledge creation and translation for in-class, blended, and online learning. Effective creation and sharing of videos are enriched when instructors consider several principles: how to promote digital literacy in the class environment; how to maximize student engagement in making and sharing videos; how a video can make a tangible difference in the education landscape, and how to utilize this process to promote value creation in education? This article reviews literature relevant to each of these principles and presents a case of making educational videos in the context of value creation in teaching ethical professional practice in engineering and computing. The case advocates several feasible approaches instructors may embrace to assimilate knowledge creation, digital engagement, critical thinking, and growth mindset that allow students to take ownership of their learning.
