Short vignettes or even entire films can be effective tools in the classroom. They can focus attention on an issue, provide depth to a discussion, demonstrate a point, or simply add variety to a lecture. A broad range of topics can be addressed. Films can be used to demonstrate a clinical condition or a behavioral test. They also are useful in teaching about professional skills, such as teaching, interview skills, and making oral presentations. And they can address ethical issues, such as research integrity and social responsibility. This session will focus on factors that influence the effectiveness of video use, provide tips for selecting and using films, and discuss copyright issues. Participants will receive a bibliography of recommended films and corresponding topics, and will be encouraged to discuss their own experiences.
