Teaching Tip: Chunk lecture videos to improve engagement

Option 1: Plan and record in chunks

1. Identify key topics or questions you want students to discuss during lectures.
2. Record short video segments (5-10 min) for each topic.
3. Organise these segments into a clear structure, such as a playlist.

Option 2: Record and then segment

1. Record a full lecture video covering all the material for that class.
2. Identify natural breaks or segments within the lecture.
3. Cut the video into smaller, bite-sized segments based on these breaks.

• Use clear and descriptive titles for each video segment.
• Provide a brief summary or overview of each segment.
• Consider using interactive elements, such as quizzes or discussions, to break up the video content.

• Makes information more digestible for students
• Easier to update video content if needed
• Increases student engagement and participation
