Recommended steps for effective use of video-captured performance

1. Write and share specific learning objectives for video-captured performance, including self-assessment (use Bloom’s and Simpson’s taxonomies as a guide).98

2. Introduce students to video as a tool for learning (so method/technology does not impede performance).

3. Video-capture student’s performance.

4. Give each student an opportunity to review and reflect on his/her performance against “gold standard” and learning objectives.

5. Student shares reflective self-assessment with (trained) expert, then receives feedback from expert – discuss similarities and differences between self- and expert-assessment.

6. Give each student subsequent opportunity to have performance captured on video, and to note improvements.
