Abstract:
This paper gives an overview of design aspects of software instructional videos resulting from a literature review. The goal is to identify design dimensions and recommendations for instructional videos for software training and to make the results usable for the production of Computer-Aided-Design/-Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) instructional videos as part of a training concept within a research and development (R&D) project. The qualitative analyzation provides four key design dimensions: (1) didactic design, (2) influence of the object, (3) material-technical implementation, and (4) linguistic-visual design of the instruction. Recommendations were examined for similarities and differences and, if necessary, supplemented with findings from studies on particular aspects. The guidelines’ recommendations are mainly influenced by contextual factors. Fewer design solutions are discussed at a linguistic or visual level. The results provide valuable input for the design of instructional videos as learning materials for CAD/CAM software training in professional contexts.
