- The content of this video stream is again very short (2.08 Min's) but is direct in supporting the safety aspect of automotive lighting.
- This video would sit comfortably within the training materials for the units AURE219531A Install ancillary electrical components and/or AURE318866A Repair electrical systems.
- The footage clearly shows both good and bad examples of lighting systems which would not be as effective using photos or diagrams and would be difficult to reproduce in reality during daylight hours.
- The resource is made with marketing in mind for the represented company which does overshadow valuable information somewhat.
- The date of the resource is displayed as January 1970 which is clearly inaccurate. The information shown is relevant to today's technology and the products would be currently available for purchase. There are many manufacturers that supply similar products to the ones shown.
- There is a written description to support the presentation.
- Safety information regarding poor visibility due to poor quality globes, incorrect headlamp alignment and having clean headlamp lenses is very relevant information for automotive trainees. This video could be more beneficial than written text as "multimedia elements like video, animation and interactive media have a high success rate in terms of boosting attention, motivation and interest" (Chan, Lee and McLoughlin, 2006, p. 112).
- The footage is American and thus shows driving on other side of road to Australia. This can be confusing for some students but on the positive side can open the door for clarification questions such as "are globes different between countries?" This seemingly simple question opens the door for further learning in regard to how the light is reflected in certain directions
