Video in higher education

From lecture recordings and specially-produced instructional films to the analysis of videographic case studies - videos can be used as helpful supplements to face-to-face teaching or a basis for new teaching scenarios.

Below you will find comprehensive information, scenarios and examples of application for the use of videos in university teaching. The Support Center for ICT-supported Teaching and Research (iLUB) is available to advise you on the implementation. Request an individual consultation, training tailored to your institute's needs or visit one of the next courses. You can also contact us if you would like to have a professional video made (for a fee).
