Educational videos have become an important part of higher education. Thus, it is necessary to discuss practical tips for creating high-yield educational videos. The electronic medium is integrated into traditional courses and serves as the cornerstone of many blended courses. Multiple studies have demonstrated that video is a highly effective educational tool for learning, particularly for hard-to-visualize processes and procedural education. Video allows learners to view content at their own pace and view on-demand materials repetitively. Video on YouTube can be integrated as a supplement to course content to provide targeted information and enrich the learning environment for students. In this article, creating an effective video on YouTube is introduced, providing examples of effective recording and integrating video into engineering mathematics courses on YouTube.
