Active Learning Strategies Using Video

This training is designed to help health educators support learners put information they have learned into practice.  We explain differences between teaching with video alone versus using active learning strategies with videos.  Sample activities are demonstrated with existing videos produced by the WRPHTC on “preparing healthy foods on a budget.”  The videos are available for use in English and Spanish as a resource for this training.  Activities presented are also customizable for use with any videos you may be interested in using as part of group education.  An online forum for community sharing is an optional component to this training.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Explain the ways that videos and interpersonal interaction influence learning.
  • Describe two active learning strategies to use when teaching with video.

Target Audience:

Community Health Workers, Registered Dietitians, Public Health Nurses, and other health professionals leading group education.
