Running Head: Storytelling in Instructional Video
Rance Smith
Abstract
This paper critiqued the instructional value of a Brave New Films’ video How "Protect & Serve"
Became "Search & Destroy". The everyday usage of rich media, specifically videos, in
instruction requires deliberation of current research and debate on the issue of whether they are
effective in today’s learning environments. Moreover, whether such learning objects are
effective for narrative-based instruction and how they should be designed has been considered in
evaluating the digital video that was selected for usage by community organizers as an intended
audience of learners.
Furthermore, the paper simultaneously examined both: the video’s propensity for use and
answers the question of whether this video is an effective learning object. Lastly, the benefits of
using design stories for each of the following elements of instructional systems design has been
analyzed: the design phase, as design communications, as well as, for the formative evaluation
phase.
