What is a Valid Argument?
By The Critical Thinker Academy
This video introduces the concept of a "valid" argument. It explains how validity means that if all premises of an argument are true, the conclusion cannot be false.
Valid Argument Overview and Example
By khanpadawan
Video explains how to determine the validity of arguments.
Definition of an Invalid Argument
By khanpadawan
This video explains what makes an argument valid. It the gives example of both valid and invalid arguments.
What is a Deductive Argument?
By The Critical Thinker Academy
This video introduces the concept of a "deductive argument" and how it relates to the logical concept of "validity".
Fundamentals: Truth and validity
By WiPhi
In this video, Julianne Chung explains the philosophical concepts of truth and validity before going on to illustrate how truth and falsity, as well as validity and invalidity, can appear in various combinations in an argument. She then introduces the concept of a sound argument (i.e., a valid argument whose premises are all true) and presents one reason to think that valid arguments with false premises are also of interest. For more detailed discussions of validity and soundness, please be sure to have a look at the videos on these topics by Paul Henne (Duke University) and Aaron Ancell (Duke University), respectively. Speaker: Julianne Chung, Yale University

What is an Inductive Argument?
By The Critical Thinker Academy
In this video the instructor introduces the concept of an "inductive argument", which is based on inference. He describes a good inductive argument as being strong rather than being valid.
Denying the Antecedent: A Formal Fallacy
By The Critical Thinker Academy
This video introduces the formal fallacy known as "denying the antecedent", an inverse of a valid argument form modus tollens. Clear examples and diagrams clarify the definition of this fallacy.
Fundamentals: Deductive arguments
By WiPhi
In this video, Geoff Pynn follows up on his introduction to critical thinking by exploring how deductive arguments give us reason to believe their conclusions. Good deductive arguments guarantee their conclusions, and so must be valid (i.e., it must be impossible for the premises to be true while the conclusion is false) and have true premises. Philosophers call arguments like these "sound". You can see whether an argument is sound by trying to think of a counterexample to it, but to see whether its premises are true, you need to do some research. Speaker: Dr. Geoff Pynn, Assistant Professor, Northern llinois University

Micro and Alternative Credentials - Webinar 2
By Lumos Learning
Micro-credentials have emerged over the past five years in response to the increasing need for smaller, more frequent and more focused learning opportunities that attract academic or industry recognition. However, the micro-credential space is still in a formative state with no universally agreed format or definition, and with many participating actors and emerging models. This session provides an overview of HolonIQ's comprehensive analysis of the micro-credentials market globally, including definition and segmentation of the micro-credentials market, the emerging infrastructure to support micro-credential ecosystems, and analysis of the likely future role of micro-credentials in the post-secondary landscape.
