Overview

For this class, students will learn about modeling, video modeling, and video prompting. These are instructional strategies that provide a visual model of the target behavior or skill to help a learner perform a new skill or behavior. Modeling, video modeling, and video prompting are most often used to teach chained skills, and they are often combined with other evidence-based practices, such as prompting and reinforcement, to maximize learner progress. Both video modeling and video prompting require the use of technology to record, edit, and display videos. All three instructional strategies have been used to teach a wide range of skills to learners with and without disabilities.
