Video for Learning: 15 Things The Research Says—and prepare to be shocked!

The author's title, not mine nor Stephen's! 

From the venerable Stephen Downes, who always cuts to the chase: (emphasis mine)
I'm not a fan of the clickbait title of this post ... and I also question some of the 'research' behind the suggestions. But overall this is a pretty good post and contains a lot of things to think about, even if you don't follow them. This is especially the case for the bits about working memory and cognitive load. But there's a general message here—that video is more about perception and feelings than it is about content and remembering—that is important. Video helps you learn because it shakes your perceptions and has you asking questions, not because it gives you stuff to memorize.
