Specific methods to be reviewed will include: video modeling, video rehearsal, video priming. In addition to video-based instruction, computer-based instruction and a combination of the use of video and computer technology will also be discussed.

Activities: Participants will observe video clips depicting a variety of video-based instructional techniques. Participants will be asked to select a behavior that they would like to increase using video-based instruction and will work on developing a plan to use video-based instruction to teach a skill. Volunteers will also have an opportunity to sample computer-based technology programs.
