2. Short lecture videos
Short lecture videos are a good way to present visually interesting content. They work best when they focus on a specific topic, with a target duration of 5–10 minutes. They are scripted pieces to camera, accompanied by on-screen visual content, like:
Text
- bullet point lists
- quotes
- key words
- formulae
Illustrative images and visual examples
- animation
- library or stock video footage and still images
- diagrams
- graphs
- charts
- infographics
- data visualisation
Other content types can be included in a short lecture, like learning glass or a screen-recorded demonstration.
