It has passed a decade when we prepared first video lectures and tested their didactics suitability [1]. During this time we tested different types of video learning materials and spent countless hours for their preparation. Learning materials of a huge project of preparing video lectures for SPSS [2] is still used by our students daily. During that time recording of lectures was not easy and extensive post processing was required. In the meantime new hardware simplified production of lectures and many institutions and individuals start recording their own video lectures. IJS (Institute Jožef Stefan) expanded their project to an internationally recognized brand – videolectures.net [3]. In the last year the Rector of University of Maribor announced initiative to produce contemporary learning materials, preferable video learning materials. A team of experts with the experiences in multimedia learning materials production were assigned to prepare guidelines and start the project that would eventually enable mass production of learning materials. Students are highly skilled learners and text based learning materials is most efficient for them. Addition of video for explanation proves to be success. Giving students a choice between different types of learning materials they favored text with multimedia elements - multimedia learning materials. Video lectures were initial success but proves to be cumbersome even if they were indexed and students need more time to study such materials in comparison to the text. Videos have much high value when skills are thought and not theory.
