Visual media are increasingly important in communication and the exchange of information. Students watch videos on social media and produce videos themselves to communicate with friends and share their experiences. Video assignments are also increasingly used in higher-education settings as an alternative to written assignments.

Video assignments require students to use audiovisual means in response to instructions of the teachers, rather than text-based assignments. Although students consume a lot of video, they are not all skilled to produce videos. It is therefore necessary to provide clear guidelines to students on the contents of their video. It is also advisable to provide instructions, suggestions or inspiration on the form, tone of voice etc. of the video. The video below provides more information on using video assignments and practical steps with tips and tricks.
