materials that constitute their objects of study: moving images and sounds (Grant et al, 2014)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The audio video essay is also used increasingly in schools, colleges and universities, in the arts and humanities, as a rich and invigorating ‘non-standard form’ of course assessment and mode of creative and
intellectual enquiry. The reason for this development is fourfold: first, applied knowledge and understanding is seen to foster the best learning outcomes; second, assessment logo-centrism is seen to fail many students, particularly those with little cultural
capital from low socio-economic backgrounds; third, in a highly mediated modern world, where screen presentations occur in all walks of life, the audio video essay is seen as an incredibly important transferable tool; and finally, it is born out of a recognition
that learning and understanding is not a closed book and that the audio video essay fosters resourceful, open learning.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">To date, however, there has been very little research on the use, value or impact of the audio video essay on learning and teaching. Research has been carried out on video production as an effective learning
and assessment tool (see Elizabeth Mavroudi and Heike Jöns, 2011) but nothing that fully examines this particular form. Similarly, within education research there has not yet been a move to presenting research findings through this method.
