The article discusses the various advantages to using pre-recorded videos as supplemental materials for lessons. Students can start, stop, and rewind as much as possible, whereas the teacher can edit the video or re-record parts of the video to help get the information across to students.

Although the study looked at the university level, I didn’t see anything that would preclude some of these advantages working at the K-12 level.
