Content Knowledge (CK): “What teachers Know” Teachers require a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter they are teaching when using video as a learning tool. It is important that they can pinpoint the main ideas and concepts they wish to convey and produce video content that is in line with their learning goals. Teachers should be aware of the various aspects of video creation, including storytelling, cinematography, and editing, when using it as a creative medium.

Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): “How they teach” Understanding the principles of effective teaching and learning when using multimedia is important when introducing new subject matters to students. Teachers who use video as a creative medium should be familiar with the production process and prepared to mentor students as they develop their ideas. This can encourage active learning for students for example using technology in class such as accessing the internet on a computer system or editing an excel file on a computer system.  

Technological Knowledge (TK): “How technology is used” The type of knowledge a teacher has on how videos can be used to support their learning objective is critical for effective learning. This knowledge method can encourage passive learning by allowing students receive information e.g. projector screens
