Using video in Initial and continuing vocational training and development

This handbook was created to promote the use of video in vocational education and training.

The activities of the handbook are based on tried and tested practice in schools, colleges and businesses. This handbook should help you to use video in your teaching and to help your students to learn - whatever the level and sector. Each chapter begins with learning tasks. The tasks require real activity and you will need some technical tools such as a smartphone or video camera, a computer and editing software. Some require working with a pair or small group. We encourage the users of this e-handbook to try out these tasks themselves. Those who are vocational teachers or trainers will probably get the most out of tasks by using them as learning activities with learners. We provide some advice on how you might adapt the tasks to different learning outcomes, contexts or types of learner; however, teachers will want to make further changes in relation to their own students and programmes.
