The features that I find valuable about an instructional video is that it is visual. Being visual will allow the students to put pictures to the information. Also an instuctional video can be a way to introduce or solidify a topic. Most students will probable admit that they will pay more attention to a video than the teacher talking the whole time. For example, in my organic chemistry class my teacher had a set of videos that covered evry topic we learned in class. These videos were made by students and held my attention. My teacher would show these videos after we learned a topic to make sure we understood.
Students can be introduced to instructional videos at anytime. The instructional videos could be a class assignment. Have the students get into groups and have them do a video that is relevant to class. Students will enjoy this project. If they get a chance to be funny and present topics; they might just learn more about the topics while they do the video.
