INTRODUCTION Lately, technology hits in all domains. And whenever it hits, it enhances and gives advantages. Technology became a need that facilitates, accelerate, and support human’s life and way of living. One of the domains that got rich with what technology offered is the educational domain. Technology offers wide new techniques that can help better in classroom management issue. Every technique is unique and has its own characteristics. One of those rapidly growing techniques is using video session in class management. So, what are the role and the importance of video sessions in class management? And is it effective? This paper is aimed at exploring the effect of the use of videos for assessing the enhancement of students’ learning motivation. The remainder of this paper is structured as follows; next section presents a literature review on motivation; third section explains the methodology we drew upon, and finally, fourth section describes the findings of the exploratory qualitative research centered on the effect of the use of videos upon students’ motivation. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Materials Used in Online Learning Students should have the abilities to communicate and use communication tools effectively as the e- learning environment requires the student to be in a process of constant communication and interaction with content, instructor and other students. If the course is carried out by taking advantage of instructional materials during teaching-learning process, the material will address students’ senses of sight and sound. Also, when the students are able to express their opinions with the help of the instructor, the number of sense organs participating will increase and what is attempted to be learnt will be more easily recalled. There is a bidirectional information flow and interaction between student, instructor and content in teaching environments. According to Chou, Peng and Chang (2010), interaction represents the functions or actions that can be utilized by users and enable them to study the content presented via computer and get feedback; furthermore it is an important element for the quality and success of online learning. Within online learning, the instructor and students are far from each other geographically. Therefore, it is important to use the communication tools effectively. An efficient learning environment should offer synchronous education (virtual classroom), video, animation, simulation software, discussion and chat environments, games, and self-evaluation environments in addition to text, sound and graphics. Abstract: Student motivation is the essence of the learning process. One way of increasing this motivation is the use of videos in class as an additional tool in order to enhance the quality of education and make it more efficient. This paper aims to review the literature related to the consequences of referring to videos to educate students in physical classes in all disciplines and to show its importance in increasing their motivation for the matter under study. In addition, it locates the domains where this educational tool has been applied and point out the abilities developed by the students that were subjected to such videos. *Corresponding Author: Pierre Al-Khoury, Vice President for Development, Lebanese German University, Lebanon.
