A teacher-created video is an instructional video produced by a teacher rather than a professional video editor. Teachers create videos to support learning objectives in the form of:

Recorded lessons

Flipped classroom videos

Example: A teacher records a 10-minute video showing how to solve quadratic equations. Teacher-created videos can be customized to the teacher's instructional goals and learner needs.
