transferring information but they are also have capabilityin preparing some
other components to enhance their teaching activities, such as an
instructional media that is integrated with the technology. To ease the
teachers’ roles as learning media designers, it is necessary for them to work
collaboratively with the other colleagues or encourage their students to
participate in design and development stages. Hence, fur ther studies
that focused on collaborative works among teacher and students in
designing and developing video as an instructional media need to
beconducted since there have been many technology that can facilitate
the collaborative activities in more advanced and effective ways.
