Recent technological advancements have resulted in a dramatic increase in the availability and accessibility of digital video content across multiple platforms. This has prompted a substantial increase in students’ use of video as a source of information, with over half of all internet users watching, and often sharing video content online (2008). While much of this viewing is for social and personal use, Kaufman and Mohan (2009) suggest that increased availability has resulted in students sourcing and discussing video content related to their academic studies. There has also been a marked increase in students requests for video as a tool to support their learning, with some authors suggesting there is a danger that not providing video content in education may result in ‘artificial’ learning for students, leaving them to find relevant material elsewhere (Smith and Caruso 2010:56–94; Donnelly et al. 2011). Educators too are eager to provide quality video content in class (Kaufman and Mohan 2009), seeing particular value in providing short, focused video clips that enhance the teaching and learning achieved in specific learning segments.
