The growth of online learning has provided opportunities for skills otherwise taught traditionally in a face-to-face learning environment to be taught in an online learning environment. Procedural skills, which have traditionally been taught in a face-to-face environment, can also be taught in an online learning environment using various delivery modes including virtual reality, augmented reality, simulations and videos. However, producing materials using some of these delivery modes could be expensive and might require advanced skills. However, video could be cost effective and might not require advanced skills based on the video produced. This study seeks to produce guidelines for using video to teach procedural skills in an online learning environment based on Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction (Gagné, 1975). To accomplish this goal, this study employed a design and development research methodology. The guidelines produced will assist instructors and course developers intending to use video to teach procedural skills based on Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction (Gagné, 1975). A systematic literature review was used to create the initial guidelines which were distributed to expert reviewers. Expert reviewers provided feedback which was used to revise the guidelines for using video to teach procedural skills based on Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction (Gagné, 1975). === Doctor of Philosophy === General Audience Abstract Procedural knowledge is defined as the knowledge of steps needed to attain a goal (Byrnes et al., 1991). Procedural skills can be taught in an online learning environment using various delivery modes including virtual reality, augmented reality, simulations and videos. However, some of the delivery modes can be expensive and might require advanced skills to use. Videos, on the other hand, can be cost effective and might not require advanced skills to produce depending on way it is produced. This study utilized a design and development research methodology to produce guidelines for using video to teach procedural skills based on Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction (Gagné, 1975). A systematic literature review was used to create the initial guidelines which were distributed to expert reviewers. Expert reviewers from diverse backgrounds related to the study provided feedback which was used to revise the guidelines for using video to teach procedural skills based on Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction (Gagné, 1975).
