Hi Omar,
Yet another well laid out and thoughtful post on your part. I too have been a victim of long winded videos that have bored me beyond belief, thus impeding my ability to retain and engage in any learning.
You mention how, “if longer videos were cut into segments, this would be much more favourable for learners to take information in chunks and retain the needed information, then move on to the next.” I completely agree. Isn’t it great that video editing now allows us as educators, or potential educators (as we are all sharers of information), to chunk out the important information and make an already made video better? I know I have some resources that I have created that I will return to, chunk out and improve and I could not be more excited about it. Video editing has come a long way and I am sure has a long way to go. Therefore, we need to stay up to date with what exists so that we can continue creating, chunking, theming and amplifying what we produce.
Thank you again for all your insight.
