Classroom-Management

Three years after writing about why classroom video works, Charlotte Kramer, Kai Kaspar, and I wrote a manual on how to actually do it. The gap between interpreting study-specific evidence for video-based learning and producing usable footage turns out to be substantial. The manual is open access. Here is what is in it and why some of it surprised me to write.

ViLLA is an online portal of real classroom videos built for teacher education at the University of Cologne. The idea sounds straightforward. Getting there required filming actual lessons, building infrastructure, evaluating a quasi-experimental intervention, and later scaling the project. Some notes on how that went.
