The following concepts are techniques that improve learning and retention by users:
Explore these concepts and consider the part they play in the structure of your video. Consult resources from the Georgia Tech Library catalog for further information.
What are learning outcomes?
Per the University of South Carolina Center for Teaching Excellence, learning outcomes "describe the measurable skills, abilities, knowledge or values that students should be able to demonstrate as a result of a completing a course. They are student-centered rather than teacher-centered, in that they describe what the students will do, not what the instructor will teach."

What does this means for your video?
Because tutorial videos are meant to be brief, you should have one to three learning outcomes. Instructional videos may only have a single learning outcome. Longer videos liked the ones used for flipped classrooms may have up to three.

A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing by What is backward design?
Per the University of Colorado, Boulder, backward design is “the process to design a lesson, unit, or course by first determining what the final outcomes are and then planning assessment strategies and finally determining methods of instruction and assignments.” Most backward design approaches follow a model described by Wiggins and McTighe (2005), who “structured backward design in three sequential stages: (1) Identify desired results, (2) determine acceptable evidence, and (3) plan learning experiences and instruction.”
Stage One: What do you expect students to know or be able to do at the end of the class, unit, or course?
Stage Two: How will the students demonstrate they met the learning outcome?
Stage Three: How will students gain the knowledge and develop the skills necessary to meet the learning outcome?

What does this mean for your video?
To ensure that your video successfully captures these three stages, your script should be begin with learning outcome, describes success, all before explaining the steps or concepts needed for the outcomes.

Understanding by Design by What is a flipped classroom?
Per the Flipped Learning Network, a flipped classroom is a “pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.”

What does this mean for your video?
Videos can support a flipped classroom model. Since these videos cover topics that are more complex than simple instruction, they run the risk of being too long. To avoid that, divide your topic into a series of videos and present them in a playlist.
