Video Literacy & Credibility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218726096)

Video Literacy & Credibility is the result of a doctorate study on student engagement with the use of video and film as pedagogical tools in the classroom. Specifically, this study's participants saw the launch of Apollo 13 film clip as most engaging to a degree that was statistically significant. Teachers need to be aware that video and film can be highly engaging. Thus, passive viewing can lead to misconceptions, misinformation, and incorrect conclusions. "When the information in a film contradicted the text, subjects often recalled misinformation from the film. A specific warning substantially reduced this misinformation effect."
