    Abstract

    We observe that in comparison to other media; online videos are a powerful outreach instrument for Computing technologies in general and specifically for Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Our experience in creating demos, scenarios and educational videos leads us to believe that such modalities can have large pedagogical value. We also found that the rapid hand drawing (exemplified through fast frames in video) is an interesting technique to propagate science facts around social media. We propose an introductory video explaining HRI that can be used for creating awareness about robotics and the area of HRI across all educational levels and MOOC systems. The main challenge is to promote retention via HRI pedagogical material as there may be a tendency of withdrawal to deeply technical content. In conclusion, we present guidelines to promote the uptake of HRI across not only educational institutes but also the general public.
