## More than just knowledge clips

You can classify the options for using video in different ways. By delving into the differences, you can increase your understanding of the possibilities of video. Here you see a classification based on two characteristics:

| By teacher | By student
Knowledge | A | C
Skills | B | D

The first characteristic concerns a classification based on the sharing of knowledge or the acquisition of skills.

Knowledge
The knowledge clips mentioned in the first paragraph are basically about sharing knowledge, such as explaining certain concepts.

Skills
Video is pre-eminently a medium to demonstrate certain skills. Consider, for example, a video showing how to install a laminate floor. Or think of the demonstration of a test or action in a laboratory. The moving image offers enormous added value. Another example: explanation of how a computer program works. Although these types of videos are also called knowledge clips by some, we prefer to speak of instructional clips.

The second characteristic concerns the source of the video, the teacher or the student.

By teacher
A teacher can produce a video themselves, but of course existing videos can also be used.

By student
Students can be asked to make a knowledge clip about a specific topic. In the video they demonstrate their knowledge about a particular topic.
However, it is also possible to have students make a recording in which they demonstrate their skills, for example giving a presentation or performing specific actions. These types of videos are very suitable for giving and receiving feedback, from which students can learn a lot.
