Donald Clark fasst zusammen, was YouTube für Bildung und Lernen bedeutet. Eine ungeheure Sammlung von Ressourcen. Trendsetter für neue Formate und Sehgewohnheiten. Denkbar einfacher Einstieg für Do-It-Yourself-Lehrer und Lerner. Und noch einiges mehr: „As a pedagogic approach it is clearly useful in both formal and informal learning, an enduring Massive Open Online Pedagogy (MOOP).“ Hier ein Auszug aus Donald Clarks‘ Manual:

„Creatively, YouTube has spawned lots of new genres of video instruction:
– Khan blackboard and coloured chalk – simple but effective as the learner’s mind is not cluttered with seeing Khan – it’s the semantic content that matters, not talking heads.
– Thrun’s hand and whiteboard – again it’s not Thrun’s head that matters but seeing worked problems and solutions.
– RSA animations – clever animations that end up as a single infographic.
– TED talks – shows how lectures should be – passionate experts, no notes, no reading, little PowerPoint and short.
– Software demos – just show me the steps one by one.
– Physical demos – point the camera at the engine, radiator or whatever I need to fix and show me how to do it, with commentary. I just take my tablet to the place I need it.
– Sports coaching – wayward tennis serve? Watch an expert coach you in slow motion.“
