Any visual means of enhancing a class environment is extremely helpful to the learning process. I often find ways of using videos, for example, in my writing and literature courses. Supplementing a text with video helps students to see an alternate interpretation or point of view. Usually the video or film version of a text strays into areas not evident in the original, which demonstrates the film maker’s take on a narrative. What’s interesting are the ways in which the film version is sometimes better than the original. In effect, the film becomes another voice, as students have their own voices when interpreting what they read. No interpretation is right or wrong, only different.
