Instructional videos are very popular online. They can demonstrate how to perform a task in a short amount of time compared to an instructional text, and watching and listening is less of a strain on the viewer than reading.
One of the most important things to consider when using videos for education is the accuracy of the information given. One way to help ensure this is to consider the source; a well known educational body is more likely to provide accurate information than an unknown individual.

Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing is communication between different locations using video and audio. A popular tool for this is Skype. It allows people in remote locations to communicate without meeting in person. This is an advantage in education because it can give those in isolated locations a chance to learn from an expert without them needing to take the time to travel there. Another advantage is that there is practically no limit to the number of viewers.
A disadvantage of Skype in a classroom environment is that it's difficult to build a setup that allows a teacher to fully interact with the class as if they were present. For example, a teacher may walk around the room observing individual students' work and discussing it with them, but this is hard without an array of cameras, microphones and speakers.
