Prerecorded video content in medical education has become more common. Increasingly accessible technology coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent need for distanced learning has greatly increased the interest in and need for high-quality video content. The use of short educational videos to augment other teaching methods has been shown to improve learners’ experiences, knowledge retention, and understanding of content. Multiple studies have demonstrated that video education can be a highly effective tool for learning, particularly for hard-to-visualize processes and for procedural education. Videos allow learners to view content at their own pace and revisit materials on demand. In addition, well-designed videos can be repurposed by educators, ultimately reducing time needed to create high-quality educational content. Currently available technology allows educators to create high-quality videos at minimal cost and with a modest investment of time. This article details practical tips for creating high-yield educational videos.

医学教育中的预录视频内容变得越来越普遍。越来越容易获得的技术加上 COVID-19 大流行以及随后对远程学习的需求大大增加了人们对高质量视频内容的兴趣和需求。使用简短的教育视频来增强其他教学方法已被证明可以改善学习者的体验、知识保留和对内容的理解。多项研究表明，视频教育可以成为一种非常有效的学习工具，特别是对于难以可视化的过程和程序教育。视频允许学习者按照自己的节奏查看内容并按需重温材料。此外，精心设计的视频可以被教育工作者重新利用，最终减少创建高质量教育内容所需的时间。目前可用的技术允许教育工作者以最低的成本和适度的时间投资来制作高质量的视频。本文详细介绍了创建高收益教育视频的实用技巧。
