Low-Threshold Production of Peer-to-Peer Lecture Films

Lecture videos are more and more implemented in higher education to be used widely by students providing an audio and visual stimulus. To attract students and become a fully accepted learning material these videos need to be of a certain standard. An important factor to the success of these videos is to involve students directly into the concept and making-of (peer-to-peer approach). The peer-to-peer approach is an important aspect in terms of project success, quality of the content and lecture video quality because students` needs and their perspective on teaching material are directly included in the videos. To encourage lecturers this paper provides a short guidance to look at basic needs and requirements of the lecture film production and “just get started”. Good lecture videos may successfully be produced with low threshold.
