Why use video feedback in education
By using video and audio recordings in education, students and educators can receive, and benefit from, direct feedback.
Benefits for students
Students are raised with social media, TV, and internet and are accustomed to interacting with images and videos. They are used to receiving information by watching short movie clips. On a daily basis, students find themselves browsing YouTube for information (and for fun, of course). In training and simulation situations including, for example, a simulated nurse-patient interaction, students can learn a lot.
The study by Sep et al. [1] tells us that it is important to first deal with emotions in a medical encounter before trying to convey an important message, such as a treatment plan.
The customer success story of Máxima Medical Center is about simulation-based team training. Read on if you're interested how they facilitate medical education, using Viso as their feedback tool.
Benefits of video feedback for educators
Bill Gates tells us in his TedX Talk that teachers need real feedback.
Findings show that educators can use video to reflect on their own behavior. In fact, research [2] shows that by seeing themselves on video, professionals are able to improve their receptive, informative, and relational skills.
Bill Gates: “We need a system that helps all our teachers be as good as the best”. A high school teacher: “I think that video exposes so much of what's intrinsic to us as teachers in ways that help us learn and help us understand, and then help our broader communities understand what this complex work is really all about”.

Video Technology for feedback
If you are looking to implement video feedback throughout your facility for simulation and training sessions for your students, as well as feedback sessions for your staff, a complete package with video and audio technology including markers and comments is the best solution.
Implementing a complete solution might sound extensive, but it can be done by setting up 4 IP cameras in multiple rooms. If you don’t want to equip a number of rooms, you can choose a portable solution, which includes a suitcase with a microphone, cameras, and a laptop.
With the development of IP cameras, it is no longer necessary to control cameras from the experiment room or from an adjacent room. The teacher can be in control! Using specially-developed software [4], the video recordings are stored safely and securely and can only be accessed by the right person.

Debriefing the recorded sessions
After being recorded, the videos are immediately available for debriefing. Whether the video feedback is used to train psychology students in interview techniques or to provide the English faculty team with examples of working teaching methods, your organization will notice that procedures have changed for the better.
By using the latest video and audio management and control technology [4], you will see that it doesn’t require a major investment to achieve a maximal return.
