This study investigates how Psychology students experience the implementation of ‘assignment videos’. These videos were created by the course-coordinator and posted on our university’s VLE. They explain assignments and are available throughout the semester. End-of-course comments about the videos were largely positive. The current study showed a three-fold cause of their popularity: assignment videos have cognitive, affective, and practical benefits. We discuss the unintended contrasts created between courses that do and those that do not use videos and, more critically, we question whether the cognitive benefits of assignment videos are desirable in the light of promoting independent thought.
