 Video E-Content

Video E content is a popular and powerful mechanism of any MOOC program under the title of Tutorials. It can be called recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images. As an educational context, we may prepare small video lessons for our flipped classrooms in a very easy and convenient manner. There are some free tools from which we can create our own video lessons.

The software has been widely used in the education sector to support video creation for flipped classrooms, bi-directional student assessments, lecture capture, and student video assignments”.
