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 (usually in German). You can also contact us if you would like to have a professional video made (for a fee).

Video-based self-reflection & peer coaching
If students are recorded while completing a task (e.g., during communication training or in rhetoric courses), these videos represent a promising source for reflective learning. With the solutions provided by the University of Bern, both video-based self-reflection and video-based peer coaching are possible. Thanks to the individual rights management in ILIAS, students only see their own video (or their partner's video) and can analyze it in video annotation mode. More...
