Video can be used in class as part of a blended learning approach or for self-study before or after class in a flipped learning approach. 

Video is a very popular Teaching and Learning Resource for both lecturers and students. Videos can be tied to specific learning objectives, help students understand a difficult concept or teach students a new skill, such as how to use a template in practice or how to use specific software. 

Videos are most useful to when you provide context and guidance on how to use by providing a description of the video and framing questions that promote active learning. 

There are various ways that you can include video: 

Commissioned Video
As part of your textbook, you may wish to include original video specially commissioned for this project; this could include interviews, ‘to camera’ videos and animations. These videos will be filmed ‘in-house’ or on location and will edited by the SAGE video team.

Author-Created Video
You can create your own video content where it is not feasible or practical for the SAGE team to film. This can include demonstrations, role-plays or ‘to camera’ videos.  SAGE can provide detailed guidelines and advice on how to film high-quality video from home or in your office. 

SAGE Video
You can choose video from SAGE’s extensive video collections, SAGE Video and SAGE Research Methods Video, that include videos across a range of disciplines on varied topics. Generally, you can use 1 minute of video per chapter or 10–15 minutes of video in total to accompany a textbook.  SAGE has a template for SAGE Video which we can supply for your use as well as guidance on allowances and restrictions.

Third-Party Video 
You can provide links to third-party video hosted on other open access platforms, such as YouTube or Ted Talks.
