What is a YouTube Playlist?
A YouTube Playlist is simply a collection of videos organized by a main idea. Using YouTube playlists are more complicated than simply uploading videos to Moodle but can provide some benefits for those who want to use this advanced technique. Often, a 30 minute lecture will be comprised of several ideas that make up the main idea of a lecture. A YouTube Playlist can be thought of as several 5-7 minute videos of ideas that make up a main idea. It's extra work to break up a lecture like this, but if you do, you can target specific parts of a lecture during different sections of your class.
For example, in a lecture about the Meta Narrative of scripture, you might use the ideas Creation, Fall, Israel, Jesus, and New Creation. Instead of one long 35 minute lecture, you can break down the lecture into five 7 minute videos and add them to a chronological playlist.
The linked playlist here is a great example of lecturing via video via this method. Take notice that the speaker is often in front of a clean background, there's good audio, and good lighting. The playlist is made up of several short videos addressing various facets of implicit bias with a couple of longer interview videos at the end of the playlist. It's easier to digest and easier to reference specific ideas.
