Using Video Feedback For Learning And Training Not So Simple

Trainers, teachers, counsellors, university professors and a number of others involved in helping others develop both professional and interpersonal skills often use video as a feedback method. It's an extremely powerful method for learning, but with that power comes risk. Techniques, like video feedback that have great capabilities to influence learning for the positive, also have the ability to create negative emotional reactions.

It's essential that anyone using video feedback to help others learn and change understand how to recognize and prevent "casualties" resulting from its use.

Getting The Most From Using Video

In addition to the risks involved in using video feedback, we also want to ensure that its positive impact is the best it can be. There's a misconception: That all you need to learn from video of oneself is to see the video, and perhaps get some group comments. That's wrong. For a number of reasons, the simple act of viewing a video of oneself does not mean the "right" learning will take place. In all liklihood, without structuring the feedback process properly, learning will NOT take place in a predictable way.
