The aim of the project was to develop a range of mini-lecture videos in collaboration with discipline-based instructors and students in order to introduce key language competencies such as specific terminology, concepts, and skills to learners that they will be exposed to throughout these courses, in different lessons. This would help prepare them for the tasks set out in their courses and help them better understand the material in lectures and contribute to class or tutorial sessions.

The project designed and developed twenty-six mini-lectures for two core curriculum courses at Lingnan University: The Process of Science and The Making of Hong Kong. The videos were added to the course LMS platform where the students could watch the videos and complete pre-class tasks to reinforce their learning. Course professors and lecturers could also look at student rates to these tasks, including the answers given, to determine any areas that might need more focus.

To determine the content of each video, we talked to the content providers and to students who had previously taken the course as well as embedding student helpers in current offerings of the class. We hoped to bridge the gap of what they may know before taking the course and what is going to be covered in upcoming lectures and tutorials. These videos were mostly three to five minutes long but some more complicated material needed longer videos or a video series.

After the videos had been used for a term, we conducted a survey of the students to get feedback, as well as some interviews. The feedback was largely positive as the students found the videos useful, largely because of the autonomy they were given and because they could use them to review the material before class and prior to exams.

The course providers also found them quite useful, although to different extents. The Process of Science followed up this video suite by starting their own video production. The Making of Hong Kong had quite a large teaching group, some of whom liked the videos and others who were a little more skeptical. Some of those who found it useful also started to incorporate more of these videos and created more in other courses.
