Description¶

The article recommends using the two-dimensional taxonomy not only to choose a familiar format but to navigate toward novel production styles. It observes that most current efforts replicate the traditional classroom and that "there is a vastly underexplored space that regards the employment of artificial representations for humans, such as robots and animated characters." It suggests exploring artificial characters manipulating digital media (third quadrant, possibly via video-game development toolkits) and augmented-reality studio technologies that let digital characters interact with physical objects (fourth quadrant).

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• More ambitious formats require access to studio equipment and skills, plus imagination about possible pedagogies

Constraints¶

• The taxonomy is a necessary but not sufficient condition for successful video styles, which also depend on pedagogy and production tools

Target Learners¶

• online and distance learners
• MOOC learners

Target Learning Goals¶

• designing novel instructional video production styles

Affordances¶

• Instructional Video Style Taxonomy Two Dimensions
