What are some goals video can fulfill in my teaching?
Video can support interpersonal connections, interactions, and collaborations. Students become more engaged with you, with each other, and with the material.
Video can enhance “teaching presence” and “social presence,” two factors that the research on teaching and learning has revealed are central for fostering greater engagement.
Interactive video content can add another level of active learning to student engagement.
Video allows more in-class time for higher-order instruction by flipping a class session – having students review a video lecture before class as homework.
Video enhances the accessibility of classroom interactions by using lecture capture technology for students with disabilities.
Video can help to explain course housekeeping information and study strategies. Examples:
Coordinating printed materials (like syllabi and rubrics) with short explanatory videos to yield content like onboarding videos for first-year students or interactive guides for exam preparation.
Providing weekly overviews and important reminders.
Video can enable distance learning when in-class sessions are impossible or impractical.
Video Increases the impact factor of assignment feedback with personal feedback videos.
Video addresses students’ knowledge gaps with supplementary video instruction content.
