N1 - Funding Information:
The conference and report that led to this article were supported by the Data Research and Development Center, a research and technical center at the University of Chicago funded by the U.S. federal government’s Interagency Education Research Initiative. The work was funded by National Science Foundation Grants 0129365 and 0015661. The first two authors co-led the conference. The remaining authors are listed in alphabetical order. We thank Kevin Brown, Barbara Schneider, and Sarah-Kathryn McDonnell for their support during this project. We thank Hilda Borko, Dan Hickey, Katherine Lewis, Kevin Miller, Rand Spiro, and Dan Schwartz for valuable input to the earlier report (Derry, 2007a), which includes a complete list of conference participants.
Funding Information:
1Motivated by an increasing number of research proposals that request funding for collecting and analyzing video, in December 2005 the National Science Foundation sought guidance from qualified researchers to help address the question “What does good video research look like?” An interdisciplinary conference of scholars who conduct educational research with video convened with the goal of providing guidance for understanding and judging the video research proposed to and funded by programs within the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources. The authors of this article are a subset of scholars who continued to meet in person and online following the conference to vet and synthesize its major findings and summarize them as guidelines for members of the learning science community.

N2 - Focusing on expanding technical capabilities and new collaborative possibilities, we address 4 challenges for scientists who collect and use video records to conduct research in and on complex learning environments: (a) Selection: How can researchers be systematic in deciding which elements of a complex environment or extensive video corpus to select for study? (b) Analysis: What analytical frameworks and practices are appropriate for given research problems? (c) Technology: What technologies are available and what new tools must be developed to support collecting, archiving, analyzing, reporting, and collaboratively sharing video? and (d) Ethics: How can research protocols encourage broad video sharing and reuse while adequately protecting the rights of research participants who are recorded?
